You play as the Penitent One, a silent, nameless warrior who embarks on a pilgrimage to lift a curse afflicting the land of Cvstodia, where religion, suffering, and punishment are woven into the fabric of existence. With a tall metal helmet, resembling a cross between a knight's helm and a ceremonial altar, the Penitent One seeks redemption while facing monstrous creatures and unsettling characters. The story is obscure, told through cryptic dialogue, item descriptions, and atmospheric hints, creating a sense of mystery and inviting players to piece together the history and theology of this haunting world. Blasphemous isn’t just about looking beautiful; it’s a tough, gritty challenge. The game’s combat is visceral, with every swing of the Penitent One’s sword, Mea Culpa, carrying weight and purpose. Enemies aren’t pushovers, and even minor foes can take you down if you’re not careful. Timing, dodging, and precision are key, as the game punishes button-mashing but rewards strategy and patience. Exploration follows a Metroidvania-style layout, with interconnected areas and hidden paths that require players to navigate Cvstodia’s intricate environments. Each region has its own unique aesthetic and challenges, ranging from flesh-filled catacombs to desolate chapels. As you progress, you’ll unlock new abilities that help you access previously unreachable areas, adding depth to exploration and giving you reasons to revisit areas and uncover secrets. The visuals in Blasphemous are nothing short of spectacular, with a pixel-art style that brings Cvstodia’s horror-laden landscapes to life. Each area is richly detailed, depicting twisted statues, massive altars, and scenes that echo both Renaissance religious art and Gothic horror. The design leans heavily into grotesque imagery, with enemies and NPCs appearing as if they’ve walked out of dark medieval frescoes, mutated by twisted faith and misery. If you’re looking for a game that’s equal parts beautiful, brutal, and filled with religiously inspired horror, Blasphemous is a pilgrimage worth taking.

For all fans of good old side-scrolling hack-and-slash titles like Cadash or Golden Axe with difficulty turned up a notch. Everything is accompanied by nice retro-style pixel graphics and an interesting story.

The game is really fun to play. It has a really nice atmosphere and great pixel art. The gameplay is good too. It really isn't the same but playing it, I have a Dark Souls feel. Highly recommend this game!
