CULTIC Free Download Unfitgirl Way back in the ye olde times of the 90’s there was a rather brilliant First Person Shooter called Blood. It had the player murdering their way through wave after wave of chanting cultists, gargoyles and demons with archaic weapons like a pitchfork and hairspray turned into a makeshift flamethrower. It felt wonderfully edgy in its day. Much like its 3D Realms contemporaries, it mixed a humorously acerbic one-liner-spouting protagonist with extreme violence. Now Jason Smith, the one-man band behind Jassoz Games, looks to provide a spiritual sequel to the FPS he loved as a child with Cultic, while boldly looking to change the formula in some key ways. The game starts with a series of notes pinned on a board about mysterious kidnappings and disappearances somewhere in America during the sixties. There’s newspaper headlines about a spree of killings and the lead investigator of the case being removed under strange circumstances. There’s a badge and gun on the table as if what they represent is being left behind. A man drives out to a strange compound but an axe ominously appears behind him. Next thing you know, the protagonist awakes from a pit of bodies, looking at his hands with disbelief, with a second chance to get even with the elusive cult that’s caused so much pain and suffering.

Right from the first time I picked up a gun, I really appreciated it. Every weapon looks and sounds amazing, from the pained clank of shoving another magazine into the handgun to the beautifully detailed animation of the double-barreled shotgun yawning open to receive another pair of shells. Aptly for the setting, the weapons feel suitably sturdy and old-fashioned. There’s a bolt-action rifle that can blow off cultist heads in a single well-aimed shot before loading another bullet into the chamber with a satisfying “chonk”. All weapons are fully upgradable with parts you find through exploring the world. It really lets you perfect your own strategy. Improving the damage and accuracy of the basic handgun gives it more mileage and lets you conserve more scarce ammunition for later. On the other hand, adding a choke to the sawn-off shotgun can instantly turn it into a viable medium-range weapon as it reduces the bullet spread. Much like in Blood, thrown projectiles are a huge source of fun and they can be used in exceptionally versatile ways. You can use a zippo lighter in one hand to provide some illumination in dark areas, but a much more fun use for it is to carry dynamite and molotov cocktails and use the lighter to prime them for throwing with explosive results.

THE RESULT IS A FAST-PACED

What’s more awesome is that the protagonist can even lash a molotov and dynamite together for an even bigger explosion. The process is dangerous and a little awkward, and I definitely blew myself up a couple of times trying to get the hang of it, but that’s the way it should be for handling such dangerous ordinance in a really haphazard way! It’s really satisfying to get the hang of timing your throws well and exploding whole cohorts of cultists. Dynamite can be thrown unlighted so the player can shoot it at a distance, using it as a jury-rigged trap or use the explosion to blast open cracked walls to access secret areas. Jason Smith advertises Cultic as being very much a “play your own way” type of game and this really comes across in the weapons and how they’re balanced. Carefully using the dynamite to set traps and taking conservative shots from behind cover is just as viable as wading in, dodging past bullets and getting up close and personal with the shotgun. It was always fun using a mix of styles to get through each level. Cultic’s baddies are particularly creepy, not only providing a varied challenge to the player, but each being genuinely unnerving in their own way. Cooking Simulator

There’s a sizable complement of human opponents – shotgunners, pistoleers axe-throwers, snipers and even flamethrowers – giving you plenty to contend with in pitched shoot-outs. It’s the more supernatural baddies who really stuck out in my mind though. There’s a psychic cultist with a sack over his head who hovers above the ground, causing the protagonist slowed movement and blurred vision as he telekinetically throws chairs and barrels at you. There’s zombies who leap towards you at terrifying speed, and they elicited maximum scares from me when they were lurking in darkened forests, with my only illumination being the dim glow of my lighter. What creeped me out the most though was the bulbous, headless monster that looks at first like a lumbering hulk before its entire upper body bisected into a gaping mouth and it ran towards me on all-fours with cheetah-like speed. Every enemy in the game is a masterful part of creating a dark ambience, placed perfectly to surprise you, and never just simple cannon fodder. The story is slowly unravelled through scattered notes lying around, detailing how the cult took up residence in the area and its true motivations. They’re always cryptic, and mysterious, giving haunting hints about what lies ahead.

CRAZY THAT YOU FIND

There are no exposition dumps or long-winded speeches. The protagonist does not even speak. Cultic has a very lonesome “one man against the world” feel. There’s only one sentence of coherent English spoken to the protagonist in the entire episode, and it comes right at the end, but it’s all the more powerful and effective for it. What I did like about Cultic is that there’s a much greater focus on building an eerie atmosphere than in Blood, with humour mostly discarded in favour of horror. With the often sharp polygons in the scenery and muted, filtered colour palettes, Cultic often looks a bit reminiscent of the early Alone in the Dark games and definitely has that same feeling of mystery and foreboding around every corner. Apparently, the aesthetic of Cultic was divisive for Blood fans during development, but there’s something about the washed-out look that fits perfectly with the 1960s setting. It gives the many locations, from mineshafts to spooky warehouses to haunted asylums, a sense of being part of the same journey. The music is absolutely stellar too. It switches up from an unsettling background unease to an intense battle in a really dynamic way. Core Keeper

I managed to finish off Cultic in two intense evenings of play, but I’m already itching to replay it and find some of the hidden goodies I missed the first time around or challenge myself at a harder difficulty. For the first chapter of an episodic series, the ten levels on offer are a decent offering to sink your teeth into. Pretty much the only downer I experienced with Cultic is that I can’t wait for the next episode! Of course, since it’s an old-school fps we’re talking about, “making your way to the truth” involves exaggerated doses of fire, lead and explosives flying in both directions . At the center of the disappearances there is in fact a cult of possessed with a very pronounced tendency to violence and ritual murder, and an arsenal that can only raise an eyebrow regarding the US management of arms sales. Thankfully, this arsenal will soon become ours as well, and so our nameless detective will be able to carry eight weapons in total, a couple of dozen Molotov cocktails and a frankly worrying amount of sticks of dynamite. The result is a fast-paced old-fashioned shooter, beautifully splattery and that occasionally does not lack some horror hints (there is nothing that gives a good adrenaline rush

OLD-FASHIONED SHOOTER WITH A HINT OF HORROR

Like being in a dark and silent cave and suddenly hearing the noise of someone laughing and a chainsaw that lights up). That of the old style, of low-definition environments and of late-twentieth-century enemies is naturally an aesthetic choice, combined with more modern technologies; this is the case, for example, with the physics of objects. The protagonist of Cultic will in fact be able to interact with some elements of the scenario, such as chairs and the classic explosive red barrels, picking them up and throwing them in the direction of the nearest ugly thug. But be careful: the enemies will not mind returning any unwanted gifts to the sender!Cultic’s campaign, well done and fun from start to finish, is not very long: depending on your personal skill, the chosen difficulty level, and the attention with which you will scour the levels in search of the inevitable secrets, in the round by 3-4 hours you should have come to its conclusion. Two things are worth keeping in mind, though: the first is that what’s coming to Steam on October 13 is just Cultic’s Chapter One. The second chapter, which will close the story, will arrive in a future not better defined as a free addition Coromon Switch NSP

The second thing I would like to point out is that Cultic is the product of a single developer, Jason Smith . It is certainly not the first time that we are faced with one-man projects like this (just to name a few, the recent Bright Memory: Infinite by Zeng “FYQD” Xiancheng, Iconoclasts by Joakim Sandberg and of course Undertale by Toby Fox) but personally not I can help but find the level of quality a single developer can deliver astonishing. Because Cultic is definitely well done: sure, there is some flaw, some somewhat strange interpenetration, sometimes you turn the corner and find an enemy who is already aiming at you for a pretty bad smash and who can’t help but get gnawed, there are some levels where it is not very easy to navigate, the two bosses in the game are not exactly stimulating in terms of gameplay. But they are minor things, which get lost in the midst of everything that Jason Smith’s game does well, the gunplay heavy at the right point, the variety in the design of the levels, the catchy music when it is needed and disturbing when it is needed, the frenzy of the slow motion that starts when we ring a few kills in a row and that allows you to line up another bell ‘headshot

There are no shortage of interesting areas for you to explore. Secrets abound in every area, and they’re *gasp* actually fun to find. You won’t be wallhumping or engaging in over-complicated puzzles to discover secret areas. Almost all of these areas are found by having a curious mind and just exploring a bit. The levels are each fairly open, and you are consistently rewarded for hopping off the beaten path and looking into the small, hidden alcoves of the world. For example, in a mid-game level, you’ll come across a house with seemingly no way to enter. Through a bit of poking around, you’ll find there is one way to get in: the chimney. Cultic allows you to be violent Santa Claus, and that’s just great. “He keeps talking about the violence”, you say to no one in particular, “but he hasn’t told us how we do violence”. That’s a fair point, random person I made up for the purpose of this review. I think a game like Cultic needs good violence. Thankfully, Cultic has good violence. Cultic shares a bit of DNA with Build Engine classic Blood, and that becomes ever more apparent with the range of weapons and styles of violence you can dish out. You start with an axe, whereas in Blood you start with a pitchfork -though you can find a pitchfork later
