Cultist

The release date for Cultist on PC is July 23, 2026. This turn-based strategy simulation focuses on the anthropological origins of faith in the ancient Mediterranean, tasking you with evolving a fragile set of beliefs into an immortal religion that can outlast the civilizations that birthed it.

You must balance growth against survival by managing your followers as a dual-purpose resource. These cultists function as the currency to buy new doctrines and the health pool that keeps your ideology alive; spending them to upgrade your cards increases your influence but leaves your faith vulnerable to elimination if your numbers drop to zero. The game demands precise resource management as you navigate the friction between expanding your theological reach and maintaining a defensive population against rival ideas.

Strategy fans looking for a historical card game with high stakes for every follower should wishlist this one.
