Weighty and committed sword swings and parries seem to be central to the combat, but the masked protagonist - The Penitent One - seems agile. It looks like Blasphemous is walking that fine line between Dark Souls and Metroid, too. While being a very well-regarded horror point-and-click adventure, its chunky low-fi pixels conveyed the broad strokes, but few gory details. Its gorgeous, unsettling sprite art is obviously a big step up from the studio's first game, The Last Door. While the game has obviously sailed past its November 2018 release date (as almost all crowdfunded games do), the extra development time and backing of a publisher have clearly done it no harm. Those well read of the Good Book of RPS will remember that Blasphemous did well for itself on Kickstarter a couple years back. Below, a trailer dripping with blood, holy viscera and all the trappings of ecclesial horror. While neither publisher or developer want to guess at a release date, we can at least see it in motion.
Featuring the likes of "Expósito, Scion Of Abjuration", "Three Anguishes" and "Our Lady Of The Charred Visage" in its new trailer, it's no surprise that The Game Kitchen's grim platform hack n' slasher has attracted publisher Team 17. If there's one thing that a Souls-alike needs to get right (Soulsyvania, in this case), it's evocative boss names, and Blasphemous clearly has it all worked out.
