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]
