Steam review snapshots
The boss fights were challenging, the hardest was for me the second boss and the final boss.I haven't been this frustrated playing a Metroidvania in a long time, on one hand you get visceral combat, arguably the most…6) I had to play this with a controller about 1/3 of the way through.Combat – 10/10 solid and satisfying – Exploration and backtracking was a bit time consuming but really fun and worth it…Why it fits
Best for players who want strong atmosphere, pixel art, gothic tone, and boss rush fights. Choose Blasphemous for its strong atmosphere, exploration, pixel art style, and standout boss fights.
