Explore this nightmarish world of twisted religion and discover its many secrets hidden deep inside.

Locate and equip relics, rosary beads and prayers that call on the powers of the heavens to aid you in your quest to break your eternal damnation.

Blasphemous Critic Reviews
View All (72 total)Blasphemous is an eery Metroidvania with gorgeous animations and combat that's just a tad too one-dimensional.
A tough, well-wrought action-platformer distinguished by some toe-curling portrayals of sin.
Lack of depth and variety, and some platforming missteps, stain an otherwise great, oppressive experience.
An accomplished attempt to create a mix of Dark Souls and traditional Metroidvania, but its bizarre visual style ultimately overshadows its other virtues.
