"Blasphemous" is a gripping game that transports you to a twisted world of religion and horror. You play as The Penitent One, the last survivor of the massacre of the 'Silent Sorrow', and must use devastating combos and brutal executions to smite grotesque monsters and titanic bosses.

What we like:
  • Great graphics and artistic design
  • Challenging and rewarding combat
  • Immersive and gruesome enemy character design
What could be improved:
  • Obscure and difficult progression
