Reception

Lucya Szachnowski reviewed Kult for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall.[6] Szachnowski comments that "If you like gruesome, macabre artwork you'll love the Kult CCG. Kult has a modern day horror background based on films like Hellraiser and Jacob's Ladder, and real-life occult belief systems such as the Qaballah."[6]

There was some controversy over the release of the game due to its graphic art.[3][7] However, Allen Varney noted that despite its "disturbing art" the game "isn't scary and has only tangential relation to Metropolis Ltd.s' Kult horror roleplaying game.[8] Varney also remarked the game was "excellent" and "easy to learn and plays great from the start."[8]

Reviews
gollark: You *can* just buy a desktop computer of some kind as a decent substitute, there's much more choice there, but not (unlike in phones) extra ethical™ computer parts.
gollark: Oh, so NOT supply chains but just "there aren't replacements for all things".
gollark: Do you mean "supply chains"?
gollark: Ideally, there would be some mechanism for people to say "no, I do not agree with companies doing X", and then to redirect capital™ to others, and people would use it. Unfortunately, this sort of exists (boycotts) but is impractical.
