Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the excellent gameplay and immersive atmosphere of Blasphemous, praising it as a fantastic Metroidvania experience. The game's price point is also frequently cited as positive. However, some players find the game's difficulty challenging, noting the significant challenge presented by enemies and the lack of traditional leveling systems. This makes the game's high difficulty a significant factor in customer feedback.

    Dark, punishing, brutal and horrifying this game is the pinnacle of what Metroidvania platformer souls-likes should aim to be. A lovely game that pays respects to Fromsoftware's Souls franchise. Buy it and thank me later when you shake your fist at the screen in defeat after defeat.

    A true Miracle of an adventure

    An excellent Metroidvania with a disturbing aesthetic based on religious themes of penitence and suffering for sins. The imagery is not for the faint of heart and the game is filled with intense action and over-the-top gore. There are some limited RPG elements but everything is easy to understand and the focus is most certainly on swordplay. Many reviews have called this a 2D souls-like, and at first that description seems spot on but as you progress and find shrines that power up your sword and rosary beads that enhance your character, enemies become easier to deal with. Incredible boss fights and secrets abound in this game that controls really well and offers a tough but fair difficulty level. I love the 16bit look of this game and beat the main game within a week of purchase. The developer, The Game Kitchen, has already released free DLC so you’re getting a little extra from your purchase right out of the box. I give this game… 9 pointy helmets out of 10

    Blasphemous

    WARNING, THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY HARD AND UNFORGIVING, the game is fun but way to difficult, you cannot level up, you can't get stronger by fighting enemies, so there is no way to make the game easier. Some enemies can easily defeat you with a few hits but it takes you up to 10 or more hits to defeat the most of the enemies, lots of enemies have shields or some way of blocking your attacks, the only way to heal is to use your healing item that you start with 2 of them but they don't fully heal you sometimes, and the only way to refill them is to find a save point. The only positive note I have to say is that if you find an item and get defeated after that you don't lose the item or you don't lose your map progress. I only recommend this game if you have a lot of PATIENCE, and don't get upset easily.

    This generation's Symphony of the Night

    Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of my favorite games, and Blasphemous draws a lot of inspiration from the PS1 classic while incorporating intense combat, fun platforming gimmicks, and tons of exploration and collectibles. I was afraid I wouldn't like this one because I don't enjoy the 3D SoulsBorne games, but I ended up loving it.

    A great game well worth the money especially with the free updates. An extremely solid Metroidvania with a beautiful art style, great music, and fluid gameplay. Tons of side quests and extra things on the side to keep you entertained throughout.

    Great souls hack and slash game by The Game Kitchen. Graphics, gameplay and music are all great. Very fun game that compares to old school castlevania 2D games. Please great on PS5 via backwards compatibility. Highly recommended!

    If you’re skilled, you can speed through in a little over ten hours, though exploring every nook and cranny of the map and finding all of the collectables can take upwards of double that, especially considering there are two endings to experience. At any rate, Blasphemous is torturously fun, and one of the best the genre has to offer.
