After rising from a grave, you take on the role of a lone fighter battling through the territory of a mysterious cult. The first-person campaign combines combat with eerie stretches of exploration.
Fight with mid-century firearms, dynamite, and other explosives. Run, slide, dodge, use cover, set traps, and make use of objects in the environment; headshots and choosing weapons to suit each encounter can help conserve resources.
Explore interconnected levels for secrets, supplies, and weapon parts that unlock upgrades. Chapter One also includes a wave-based Survival Mode and an Interlude story map; Chapter Two is available as an expansion.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the weighty, responsive gunplay, tense horror atmosphere, and levels that reward careful exploration and secret hunting. Music and sound design are also recurring points of praise. Some reviews criticize Chapter Two’s longer routes and backtracking, as well as tight ammunition and difficult encounters; opinions on that chapter’s level design vary.
Rise up. Fight back.
Gear up to fight your way through the ranks of an insidious cult. Their wretched minds twisted by the will of an unseen entity, you'll find just as much lead flying back as you dish out, so you'll have to run, slide, dodge, and make use of your environment to survive in this old-school-inspired shooter.
CULTIC: Chapter One includes 10 maps full of blood, grit, and of course, cultists. After completing the story, you can test your skills in the wave-based Survival Mode, also included with Chapter One.
Get a taste of Chapter Two with the Interlude story map, and then finish the fight with the Chapter Two expansion DLC!
CULTIC gives you the freedom to approach combat your way. You can run in guns blazing, running, jumping, sliding, and dodging to keep out of harms way. If you prefer a slower approach, you can lay traps, let your enemies come to you, and pick them off from the safety of cover. Maybe you prefer to weave in between your foes, leading their attacks towards each other, and turning them against one another. With a full arsenal of mid-century firearms and explosives, you'll be well equipped to slaughter everything in your path - provided you don't get slaughtered first.
Combat in CULTIC is fast and deadly. Well-placed shots can take your enemies - and yourself - out of the game quickly. Keep on the move or stick to cover, and use your arsenal wisely to stay alive as you fight your way through cult territory.
CULTIC was styled to feel like a throwback to the shooters of yore, but with the advantages of a modern engine, such as physics, lighting, and a fully 3D game world. The gameplay, audio design, and art are all stylized to create a unique experience.
