Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition has just been confirmed for iOS and Apple devices, and it’s coming to the platform in just a few weeks.
If you’re not already in the loop, Cult of the Lamb is a cute-but-deadly fusion of action-RPG combat and cult-themed basebuilding. It’s currently out on PC and consoles, and there’s an ice–themed expansion called Woolhaven in the works for those versions of the game.
Not content with preaching to the PC and console choir, the word of the lamb is spreading to a new platform: Apple’s iOS.
Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition Release Date
More specifically, CotL is coming Apple Arcade, the iOS subscription service that offers access a bunch of games but without the usual stream of mobile ads.
In fact, there’s a whole section about Apple Arcade in my guide to Android and iOS roguelikes, just scroll down to the end for the good stuff. Anyway…
Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition is coming to Apple devices along with all of the major free content expansions that have hit the game thus far, and there’s even some content exclusive to this version (new follower forms and base decorations, apparently).
The ol’ Apple eco system continues to grow, it would seem, and the presser mentions iPhone, iPad, Mac and even the Apple Vision Pro. As for the “when” of things, Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition will hit the above platforms on December 4th.
Now, if it pleases thee, behold the release date announement trailer!

In an effort to tempt you into clicking deeper into our web of rogues, moving forward, we’re going to try something a little different, and after the upcoming advert for NordVPN, you’ll find a new feature: Rogueliker’s Hall of Fame. But first, here are a load of mega awesome roguelikes and roguelites, almost 40 of them, in fact.
Still with us? Ok, the Hall of Fame below highlights arguably the best game from each sub-category in the article linked directly above; however, each of these standout games is reinforced with another article about even more titles, whether they be turn-based roguelikes or first-person shooters.
Finally, if you’d prefer everything split into individual platforms, we’ve got you covered, too, although be warned, those lists don’t go into as much detail:
First, let’s establish the parameters for inclusion. We can answer the question of “what is a roguelike?” by telling you about the game that started this whole party. Rogue is a turn-based RPG with procedurally-generated content and permadeath. The genre has exploded in a hundred different directions since then, but all of the games on this list retain one or two core features that first appeared in Rogue back in 1980.
The best turn-based roguelikes: Caves of Qud | There are some seriously incredible turn-based roguelikes out there. Of all the modern games, these are the closest to the original Rogue.
Awesome first-person rogues: Gunfire Reborn | We almost went with Blue Prince for this spot, but most people checking out first-person rogues probably want to wield a gun, you know?!
Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.
Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.
Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2 | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all, There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
