Reception

Lucya Szachnowski reviewed Kult for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall. 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."
There was some controversy over the release of the game due to its graphic art. 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. Varney also remarked the game was "excellent" and "easy to learn and plays great from the start."
