    Blasphemous is a 2d plataform hack and slash game that will make you suffer !

    This game is a mix of Castlevania exploration with Darksouls combat style, with one of the most amazing pixel art's ive seen.

    The plot is about “The Penitent”, whose task is to end the curse that has devastated the population of Cvstodia and put them in an endless cycle of death and rebirth. The narrative seems awesome and ends up being complemented by several secrets hidden in specific areas of the map.

    the Pixel art is fantastic. It's dark as it should be. Everything in this game will remember you from suffering. I did a little research and found out it was made by the same creater from The Last Door, another amazing pixer art game. You can't just skip animations in games like this. Cenarios got that Gothic visual that will make you remember castlevania. its just great.

    Controls feels perfect. You will have no problem jumping between plataforms, while slashing enemies mid air and maybe changing course before hit the ground. a Controller is higly recommended to play. The combat system is very precise, be ready to parry on time all attacks in order to succed. At this point you will feel like playing darksouls. Every enemy is dangerous.

    A lot of Secret rooms and itens can be found during you journey. Some you will have to sneak under tight places, some will be revealed after destroying random objects and some you will find after going through a really dangerous path, full of 1 hit kill traps. By the end you may find rare itens, upgrades and even some complementary storyline information from NPCS.

    To make things better Bosses are amazing. You will need you best in order to kill them. Attacks are sometimes hard to read and you will end up geting hit. Killing a boss in one try is pretty much impossible. You will suffer a few times until you can get his mechanics. Since they hit so hard, you might need to go through them a few times. I love the felling after beating a hard boss.

    It got Collectibles !! During your adventure you may find 32 collectibles itens. This is something that work only in good games. Since you will probably finish the game first, then go back to get all the missing stuff you left behind. Since this game have a "new game plus" feature, that let you keep exploring after finishing the game, i really would go for all of them ! its a good way to extend you play.

    Upgrade your skills ! You will collect points after killing enemies, more points if you do a special kill, sometimes you will be able to trigger them on a few cretures. Unlocking new skills is necessary in order to make a safe trip. From air attacks to ranged ones, you should pick what best suits you. So keep killing everything that comes your way to gather all these points !!

    The game is Bloody as it can be. It really transfers you all the pain and suffering the land is suffering. Finishing a monster with a brutal glory kill is awesome, each monster got a different finishing move animation. All of them BLOODY as hell. This combination creates a really dark atmosphere, making you tense. You will feel that chill comming up you spine.

    You will get used to Dying in this game. Each step forward will lead you to a new trap. Spikes in the floor will instantly kill you. Blood means there is a trap there. but the game is so full of blood that you end up not noticing it. There are some situations where you will be trapped by more then 3 monsters, this will probably get you killed. Try figthing enemies one by one. Stay safe.


    Soundtrack

    Something incredible was done here. They skip all of the communs instruments used on horror or dark series. You will hear a lot of piano, but no organ !

    I love how they created something original. I tried to figure out a specific genre for this, but i couldn't. Its a mix of gothic and spanish maybe.

    I could easly see this soundtracks in many other games, it is much better then most of things out there !


    Final thoughts and Gameplay !

    If you are looking for a great 2d plataform to play, you should give this game a try. It got the best from 2D plataform system. The pixel art is amazing and dark as possible. Game is challenging but get easier as you start recognizing the enemies mechanics. There are plenty of things to do beside running the main story. Different upgrades let you try different styles, choose your favorite one.

    So, lets get with the gameplay !

    I tried to beat the first boss as fast as i could, while trying to cover all the available content.
    There were some deaths, some traps i failed, but the mission was done ! Enjoy it !

    Thanks everyone for reading and watching the gameplay !

    Would you like to see a complete gameplay serie of Blasphemous ?

    Peace and Love Everyone. Stay safe.
