Cultist Simulator

Frustrating yet addictive. Very well built lore and each "descent" offers unique playthroughs. However the game doesn't hold your hand and you need to experiment with it to understand the game loop. It is a very slow burning game. So read everything at hand. However, the world is so well built that it doesn't get boring. If you like 1920s inter-war setting, the narrative is attractive enough to keep you going. This is a niche game that started its own genre of card games like Artist Life Simulator or Sultan's Game. Worth a try.

如果说有些游戏是以玩法、创意、制作、机制取胜的话，那么密教模拟器无疑是以世界观取胜的模范。 在一个不算大的卡牌游戏里，Weather Factory以浩如烟海的碎片化文本，为我们展现出了一个神明与凡世共存的奇幻世界。 同时要感谢汉化组高质量的翻译，让我等凡人得窥漫宿之秘。

合成大西瓜（高端文案版），看起来很有决策的博弈到了后面都是公式化套路和刷脸，非常喜欢文本的可以玩玩，但到了后期重复流程过多感觉不如看Wiki和玩家站

过于繁琐了，如果一个休闲游戏要看一堆攻略的话我很难玩的下去

可以，但是新手引导有点薄弱了，不查看攻略的话自己整明白有点费时间，其次要是时间流速能更快就好了，等待有点磨时间。

I had fun with this game for a while, but I really cannot recommend it unless you 1) really love the concept, writing, and lovecraftian vibe 2) don't mind grinding and 3) can get it on sale. I had nearly the same experience with this game as I did with Darkest Dungeon. Both are most fun at the beginning when you go in blind and have no idea what's going on. Putting the pieces together was fun for me and it felt like a big complicated puzzle game (also this game is not really a card game, it's just presented to you via cards if that makes sense). Then you figure it out a bit more and it's still fun for a while; it becomes a resource management game with some strategic decision making, and also a rudimentary party-based dungeon crawler. But then once you've REALLY figured it out, and you know exactly what the goals are and what you need to do, it becomes a tedious and unavoidable grind-fest. In Darkest Dungeon you need to grind for level, but in this game you are grinding for RNG. You will ultimately need a select few SPECIFIC things (lore, items, basically loot) in order to progress. Even if you have a wiki telling you exactly what you need and how to find it, you'll still be re-rolling for it. This game has a great aesthetic, great presentation, excellent music, and it's surprisingly dense. But once I became oriented I just couldn't get past the tedium and repetition the game demands. Again, if you love the concept and can get it on sale, just go in blind and you'll have fun for a while. I certainly did, but the actual gameplay sort of falls apart once you get the gist.
