HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (82 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription40%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When a game is meant to be learnt through trial and error this process should feel rewarding however when playing Cultist Simulator you simply feel sluggish and exhausted.
★★★★★ I woke up to find that I was charged $2+ at 3am for this app.
★★★★★ I wish I had read the negative reviews first! I can't help but wonder how this "game" received so many positive reviews.
Missing features7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Overall it's up a potentially great game held back by poor design decisions and a lack of clarity, 2/5.
★★★★★ Things start disappearing before you even know what's happening, no way to determine how to link cards, or what they mean.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • The simulation of discovering cult knowledge should have mystery and testy initiation…. 5★, Mar 11, 2026
  • Just something I wish I'd known before I updated. 5★, Nov 7, 2020
  • I wish it tracked your stories over your wins and losses somehow. 4★, Oct 24, 2020
  • I also wish it wasn't as unforgiving on the phone. 4★, Oct 24, 2020
  • I guess I'm probably ready for the next challenge now that I've spent a few more hours grinding my upgrades but the problem is you never know if you will encounter something difficult that you should have prepared more… 3★, Jul 22, 2020
  • I wish I could bypass the busywork and just focus on exploring new things. 3★, Jul 22, 2020
  • I wish I had read the negative reviews first! 1★, Jul 19, 2020
  • I wish it was that simple but every time I do it the pile just splits up again. 4★, May 26, 2020

Fun, addictive30%

37 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I think that it starts getting easier over time, overall the main problem I see is that it may be a little too addicting, yet, I still see foward to the dlcs and future updates 10/10
★★★★★ it's a bit complicated and i suggest playing it on a big screen but it is very fun for individuals who enjoy strategy and mystery
★★★★★ I have played so many mobile games It's hard to keep track and I cannot emphasize enough that this is the most intriguing and difficult but addictive game I've ever played.
Easy to use7%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Combined with the game being quite long and the plate spinning nature making it easy to just *miss* some debt you have to pay or lose that game — … well, ai can almost not imagine playing a game to completion *despite*…
★★★★★ I played for three days and lost make the game easier or give me a refund
★★★★★ The blend of strategy, roleplaying, Lovecraftian horror, noir sleuthing, and fantasy mystery is delightful. Death isn't a setback- it's motivating!
Looks great7%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Discovery should feel magical… but they accidentally applied it to the UI and the game itself… so now it's kind of difficult just to do basic things a lot of the time..
★★★★★ Like life it is multifaceted; in turns beautiful and dreadful, stressful and illuminating; humorous and grim.
★★★★★ This game is beautiful; this game is frustrating.
Worth the money5%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ GPT or your AI of choice is a free tutor and they won't tell everybody how stupid you are and all the dumb questions you asked after you leave the room (the way that the real tutors do).
★★★★★ This game is unique and the things that are good are so good that if you have remote interest or think you might then you should absolutely play it. I would rank this among my favorite games even though I've never…
★★★★★ Worth every penny, nothing like this out there.
Accurate, great results3%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This means that even though losing doesn't feel too bad (as it works well attractively) that you have to slog through the plate spinning elements but without the exploration and while, eventually, already being…
★★★★★ I am playing the Chinese version so hope these explanations are accurate!
★★★★★ None of these amount to spoilers, but they are very helpful quality of life concepts.

Dance in the pale moonlight

With these cards and these timers, I will show you how we dance under the boughs of the wood. Within a house without walls we love, lose, sing and sacrifice, to the beat of a great thunderskin.

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
we need 60fps please

I love this game but we truly need 60fps because the lagging issue is really severe right now

★★★★★Sep 21, 2026
Excruciatingly Enjoyable

Fun and frustrating. Mellow and morbid. Unusual and unfurling.

★★★★★Aug 24, 2026
Not your normal app game.

Really, this is one of the best games in the store. You can play for a few minutes or hours, incredibly challenging and deep gameplay. The lore has wikis and has spawned two other games and a TTRPG. The Mansus is a haunting thought experiment. The writing is phenomenal.

★★★★★Jul 27, 2026
Hard, rewarding, addictive

It‘s real hard and yet it achives a really good balance. I think that it starts getting easier over time, overall the main problem I see is that it may be a little too addicting, yet, I still see foward to the dlcs and future updates 10/10

★★★★★Apr 10, 2026
No information.

The game gives you absolutely no information. You start off in a blank field with a card, figure maybe I should move this to here and that’ll do something and it does… It tells you nothing about what you’re doing or why.

Store description

SEIZE FORBIDDEN TREASURES. SUMMON ALIEN GODS. FEED ON YOUR DISCIPLES. BE WARNED. This game has no tutorial - part of the challenge is figuring out how to play. It's hard, but keep trying, and you'll master it. Good luck! In this infamous roguelike narrative card game, play as a seeker after unholy mysteries in a 1920s-themed setting of hidden gods and secret histories. Become a scholar of the unseen arts. Craft tools and summon spirits. Indoctrinate innocents. Seize your place as the herald of a new age. Cultist Simulator was first released on PC and has more than 200,000 players all over the world. Now we’re bringing the cosmic mysteries of Cultist Simulator to mobile. • Challenging roguelike gameplay - There is never only one history. Cultist Simulator doesn’t hold your hand. Experiment, expire and transcend death with a story-driven legacy system. Over time you’ll learn enough to wrestle the game to its knees. • Intense, immersive narrative – Combine cards to tell your own story. A hefty novel’s worth of choice-based storytelling, from the creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. There are many paths through this game of ambition, appetite and abomination, and many ways your tale can end. • A rich Lovecraftian world – Corrupt your friends and consume your enemies. Search your dreams for sanity-twisting rituals. Translate grimoires and glean their lore. Penetrate the realm of the Hours and win a place in their service. Cultist Simulator brings the peripheral horror of Lovecraft’s tales to an entirely new setting. Expand your knowledge with the DLCs: New Legacies, New Ascensions, New Mechanics... • The Dancer - Join the Bacchanal • The Priest - Knock, and Ye Shall Be Opened • The Ghoul - Taste of the graveyard's fruit • The Exile - Some there are who will not yield If you encounter any issue with the game, please click on “Contact us” at the bottom of this page and give us as many details as possible regarding the issue and your device: https://playdigious.helpshift.com/hc/en/11-cultist-simulator/?p=ios
