Cult of the Lamb vibes?

[The Queen Salis]

Was that not the first thing you thought on sight?

[Haohmaru]

Nope the first thing I thought of was Castle Crashers!

[ml_2000]

[McLort]

Castle Crashers for sure. Really fun so far.

[zaptrap]

[Razzle]

really hope "Cult of the lamb" doesnt become a genre name for ppl to use to refer to games

Castle crashers + Dont starve.
Quite literally nothing like cult of the lamb, that game's art style is super lazy with how all the faces looked doesnt even come close ..

Castle Crashers

No not really, it uses the same visual technique as some of Klei's other titles. If anything the game is like a cross between streets of rage, hades and monster hunter in it's combat, rogue-like mechanics and progression respectfully. All of these things together make a unique videogame who would of thought? I'm tired of people comparing games that belong to different genres (or in this case have a different vision and inspiration) because of surface level observation. Once you get past recognizing influence on the games design it has it's own identity through and through and belittling a game to a comparison to another without accounting for it's very clear differences is misleading and often leads to people buying games they THOUGHT would be like another that they enjoy because of people saying stuff like this; i've seen it a dozen times on the steam forums alone, someone complaining about a game they bought because people would say "oh this is like dark souls" when it wasn't or "this is like tekken" when it isn't; you obscure the games vision to the average consumer and make people waste their time and money. Be more accurate in how you discuss a product because word of mouth is part of marketing and it's weird to see people who are fans of a game muddy it's reputation with falsehoods. The game is Rotwood, you should play it.

You are right about "Rotwood is Rotwood", and yes, some people buy games thinking that would be similar to another because they read some reviews.

Now about the "falsehoods", wow... When I saw the trailer of the game my first thought was "omg a game with Castle Crasher vibe made by Klei", and after I played, it pass some Cult of the Lamb vibes too (the combat part of course, not the Cult management).

I don't like the reviews that say "this game is like GameName + AnotherGameName = Game", but can't deny that sometimes this reviews help, showing that if I liked one of the games the guy said on the review, there's a chance that I like this one too.

About Rotwood, I really enjoyed the game, as I said I really like Castle Crasher, and for years I was looking for a game in this style with more "nowdays mechanics", more "lively" combat, and Rotwood seems to put an end to my search, and not because it look like Castle Crasher, but like you said, they mix a lot of ideas that we already know with some new from Klei.
