About CULTIC
CULTIC drops you into an old‑school‑inspired shooter where cultists, twisted by an unseen entity, attack relentlessly. You must run, slide, dodge, and use the environment to survive across multiple chapters.
The base game offers ten Chapter One maps, a wave‑based Survival Mode, and an Interlude story map that previews Chapter Two, which is released as an expansion DLC. All combat uses a mid‑century arsenal in a fully 3D world powered by a modern engine.
01 / THE GUIDE
Chapter One Maps
Chapter One provides ten distinct maps filled with blood, grit, and cultists. Each map’s layout encourages movement, cover usage, and interaction with the environment as described in the store text.
Because the game is single‑player, you can explore each map at your own pace, testing runs, slides, and dodges without coordinating with other players.
- Look for natural cover spots that can break line of sight.
- Observe enemy spawn locations to time slides effectively.
02 / THE GUIDE
Survival Mode
After finishing the story, Survival Mode becomes available as a wave‑based challenge where you test the skills learned in Chapter One against increasingly tough enemy groups.
The mode retains the same combat mechanics, letting you run, slide, and use traps while managing health and ammunition.
- Conserve ammunition early in a wave to avoid running out later.
- Use environmental hazards to thin enemy numbers before they reach you.
03 / THE GUIDE
Interlude Story Map
The Interlude map offers a taste of Chapter Two’s narrative before you play the expansion DLC, using the same combat style and environmental interaction as earlier content.
Playing the Interlude lets you gauge the difficulty and atmosphere of the upcoming chapter without purchasing the DLC.
- Treat the Interlude as a rehearsal for Chapter Two’s larger maps.
- Notice any new enemy behaviors introduced in this map.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat Approach Options
CULTIC encourages multiple combat styles: aggressive gunplay, trap‑laying from cover, or weaving between foes to turn attacks against each other, as outlined in the description.
All approaches share fast, deadly core mechanics, so your choice influences how you manage health and ammunition.
- Mix aggressive and defensive tactics to keep enemies off‑balance.
- Experiment with explosives to create temporary safe zones.
