Blasphemous is a top-tier, pixel-art masterpiece with animations that will make even your favorite old-school games (and honestly, your new-school ones as well) look almost silly in comparison. When it comes to how the game looks and runs on Switch, I have zero complaints. I would advise against waiting for it, though enjoy the game as it is now and get excited in a few months for more!)
BLASPHEMOUS REVIEW FREE
(Author's note: The Game Kitchen and Team17 have announced that free DLC is coming this year. however you want to enjoy this masterpiece, you do you. The latter method comes more highly recommended, but this is a game that can be played over and over, so.
BLASPHEMOUS REVIEW FULL
Personally, I went full action game on my first playthrough, and for 100% story/sidequest completion on my second. Want to delve into the lore, complete every sidequest and really deep dive into this world? The game is equally rewarding, when it comes to the story, for both kinds of players. If you want to see the handful of cutscenes at the beginning, middle, and end of the title? Cool. What Blasphemous does right here is that you can get as much or as little story as you like while you progress. And seeing as it is now your job to end it, you'll be seeing some stuff that clearly lesser warriors couldn't handle. You'll constantly be reminded of this desolate landscape, the horrible creatures within it, and how all were created by this otherworldly destroyer that those left still seem to somehow worship. It's a tale deeply rooted in Spanish Catholicism and, even for an action-based game, it never lets up. You awake on a pile of slain warriors, doomed to attempt the same task they failed at destroy The Miracle. You play as "The Penitent One" a warrior in a long line of failed warriors, in a battle against "The Miracle," a nebulous event/entity that seems to have saved/doomed the entire population of the region of Cvstodia. The story here seems to follow the somewhat intriguing and often frustrating path of other "lore deep" games these days you'll be following it on the surface through the game, but diving in, reading item descriptions, exploring the landscape, and talking to each and every NPC can really open things up.
BLASPHEMOUS REVIEW DOWNLOAD
If you've ever taken a shine to tough platformers, darker games with mature themes, or any Metroidvania title of any kind, Blasphemous is the next game you need to download right this minute. Sure, it came out earlier this year and this review is severely late (though, bonus, the game is often on sale - depending on when you read this, there might be a great deal on an already-underpriced title!), but this is more of a "call to action" than a "I've seen this game pre-release, tell me how it is" kind of thing. Bear with me on this one, boys I might be a bit rusty).īlasphemous, by Spanish indie developer The Game Kitchen and publisher Team17, is a revelation.
