KickStarter Blasphemous - gorgeous looking religious horror metroidvania

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

ThIs looks butt fucking incredible. Why didn't anybody tell me that these games were a thing? Bought both on my Switch.

Hollow Knight had very strong art direction as well and is simply a much better game.

Oh ffs give it a rest. That game is insanely overrated.

Sounds like you need to go to the Metroidvania thread more often.

Apparently. Looks like this game sparked it's own very little subgenre of knockoffs that I was completely oblivious to. I was checking out The Last Right, looks alot like this. I'll get that later on down the line.

Omg Miriam from Bloodstained is in this.

The Last Faith. I think Blashph 1 and 2 have more polish, but I definitely recommend all 3.

I'm currently 15 hours into Blasphemous 2, I'm having fun doing a lot of exploring.

There's a demo on steam called Eden's Guardian that clearly copies this style and it's really cool, it has an awesome teleport mechanic with your sword that you fight and platform with. Beat the demo like 5 times. I will definitely give it a try when it comes out in the future.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

How does this look so good? AAA devs have all the money in the world and they still would never be able replicate this. Also the music is fabudrous.

This game gives me Vampire Hunter D vibes more than anything.

 

[Doktor Best]

Deaths Gambit Afterlife is also a pretty good one.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I do what I is because I be what I be, because that be the way god made me. I is the greatest of aaaaaall time.

 

[Elwro]

To get the teleporty thing I need to go through the old levels and track down the flying mothafuckas? I guess that will be it for me; still, I think I discovered some secret stuff (the tree underneath the tree) and I surely got my money's worth.

I really hope we get Silksong some day.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I like how The Pentinent One sheathes his sword every time he interacts with a NPC. Badass detail.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Okay the invisible pitfalls and spikes are getting really fucking old. They better have toned that down in the sequel or gave you the ability to look down farther. It's the one thing shitting up the game. 90% of my deaths are from bullshit falls.

you take chip damage in 2, instakill in 1

MIght skip over to 2. The more I play this the more I hate it. The falls are deliberately designed to be cheap deaths. The mountain area is unforgivable.

Platforming should not be a part of 2D Soulslikes in general. Sidescrollers demand quick input and these games by design have input lag to give the gameplay more "weight". These things don't go together.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Uninstalled. Game made me destroy my switch controller. Maybe design your game better next time spic faggots. I don't tolerate bullshit.

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

No filtering. They didn't know how to make the game legit difficult so they resorted to bullshit and deliberately wasted my time. This is some of the worst platforming I've ever seen. It should not have platforming period. Not with these controls.

Play this back to back with Rogue Legacy 2 and it's ming boggling how abysmal the controls are in this game. So much input lag and delays. Sometimes inputs wont even register. It feels awful.

 

[Ivan]

No shame in throwing in the towel, I'm just saying, as someone who's finished it multiple times and really enjoyed it, I think it's worth pushing through/giving it another try. There is one more platform heavy "level" but I don't recall it being as hard as the snow mountains.

If you can't be bothered and don't want to push through, then yeah give Blasph 2 a shot. It doesn't have the instakill death falls.

You really showed them who's boss by smashing up your own shit!

It was a piece of shit anyway. I barely threw it the first time and the left joystick snapped right off. Unacceptable considering the price. I'm only buying cheap 3rd party controllers from now on if they're gonna be that flimsy.

It was a combination of the mountain area and the teleporting ghosts with aimbot that made me realize this game is not worth playing. The ghosts are the shittiest enemy I have ever seen. I don't really care if the game gets better afterwards, that is unforgivable.

Looks unique, but I cannot stand Metroid-likes. Such a dull genre.

You can get an adapter to use dualshock controllers with the switch for like 20 bucks

Don't let the fanboys here gaslight you, Blasphemous 1 might look really nice but it's a janky piece of shit and everything you said about the controls is 100% correct. I gave up not too long after you did. MAYBE it gets better after another four hours or whatever, but what I'd seen thus far gave me no incentive to find out. Life is short.
