Blasphemous [PC SWITCH PS4 XONE]

Vanquish bloodthirsty creatures, the devotees of a twisted religion. Hand-crafted pixel art action game by the makers of The Last Door.

Blasphemous is an action-platformer that combines the fast-paced, skilled combat of a hack & slash game, with a deep and evocative narrative core, delivered through rewarding exploration of 2D open-world made of non-linear levels.

Windows, OSX and Linux are granted! Currently, we are in conversations with key partners to make these ports happen. Exceeding the Kickstarter campaign goal will make things much easier, that's why we will be introducing stretch goals to help secure PS4, Xbox One, Switch (and possibly PSVita too) later in the campaign.

Art & Theme
· Incredible handmade pixel art, featuring large sprites with smooth animations, crafted entirely by hand, pixel by pixel, frame by frame.
· Evocative narrative: Blasphemous’ levels are not just platforms; they tell a story to those who are interested, but this doesn’t get in the way of those who don’t seek it.


Gameplay
A great focus on combat mechanics, meticulously crafted so every push of a button delivers a rush of dopamine directly to your brain.
Explore a huge, nightmarish land, a universe that feels open, delivered through a non-sequential level design that puts you in control of where to go next.


Story
...Riddled with frustration at their insufficient devotion, The High Pontiff heaved his golden throne with and turned the entire throne back. Years passed and all of a sudden it appeared something was beginning to change in the state of the High Pontiff. Dried out, dying branches began to emerge from the ends of his fingers and slowly started growing out from all over his pallid, immobile body. The High Pontiff was transformed into a great, withered and barren tree and began to burn for ninety days and ninety nights...



The Penitent One
In Blasphemous, you will play as The Penitent One, a rogue nomad tackling the evil of this world alone with only their trusty sword by their side.
