Blasphemous is a 2019 2D Metroidvania game developed by the fine folks at The Game Kitchen, previously known for a series of work-for-hire jobs as well as The Last Door. A series of DLC expansion packs (The Stir of Dawn, Strife and Ruin and Wounds of Eventide) were released over the next few years, as well as a number of tweaks to combat and navigation, and new content including bonus bosses and a new ending.
This game is heavily inspired by Catholic (especially Spanish Catholic) iconography, creating striking and terrifying images rendered in gorgeous pixel art. Its combat is heavy and crushing, its map is beautifully designed, and I cannot wait to show it off to you all.
The region of Cvstodia has been struck by a series of supernatural and impossible events. The locals believe these to be connected, and worship their source as the Grievous Miracle, who takes and gives seemingly at random. We play as a pious, silent man known only as The Penitent One. Having somehow survived the extermination of the rest of his brotherhood, he travel through the rest of Cvstodia, seeking answers to questions he barely understands.
This will be a 99.99% run (for reasons I will get into later) across three playthroughs, showing off every ending and all the DLC. Joining me are pdPreciousRoy and CJacobs, who will bring some much-needed levity to this sorrowful tale.
