A downloadable mod

The Cultist is a follower of a long forgotten religion, with an emphasis on both soul searching and sacrifice.

Abilities:

  • Dagger generation: Enemies have a 50% chance to generate a circling dagger around you.
    • these daggers will damage enemies, but will not block bullets.
    • Up to 8 can be active at once.
    • All daggers are lost upon taking damage.
  • Dagger throw: this has two firing modes, focused and scatter, switched between with the horn button (default: B)
    • With focused on, the daggers are thrown in front of you in a pattern of 5 behind, 3 in front.
    • With scatter on, the daggers are thrown outwards from their current positions in the circle.
    • Normally, these daggers will only be able to hit one enemy, however with Throne Butt they will pierce through enemies they kill.

Ultras:

  • Ultra A:  Meditation
    • Taking damage will no longer remove any daggers from the circle.
    • Throwing daggers will only consume half of the daggers in the circle while still throwing all of them.
  • Ultra B: Sacrifice
    • Upon hitting an enemy with a dagger, they will be "marked for death".
    • Marked enemies will die if they take any damage below half of their maximum health.
    • Marked enemies are displayed with a dagger target icon on top of them.

Patch Notes [1.1]:

Hotfix [1.1.2]:

  • Changed uses of array_length_1d to use array_length instead (this has no impact on gameplay, just means it won't break in GMS2 sometime in the future).

Hotfix [1.1.1]:

  • Error messages should no longer appear occasionally on death.

Fixes and Changes:

  • Ultra B's mark now has a black outline to make it more noticeable on enemies with a lighter color palette.
  • The firing mode of the daggers is now represented by the color of the hilt. Red = focused, green = scatter.
  • Changing firing modes plays a sound.
