I have over 120hrs on this game and i was blown away how much content this game has for an indie game. I love darksouls games, but i would sometimes cheese my way through victory on those games but still having a level of skill completing the game but what Blasphemous does is that it gives you no advantage and puts you against a tough but fair boss where your only option is to understand your opponents moveset and beat it. like in some boss fights i spent over 10 mins parrying and punishing certain moves they did until finally killing it after many attempts and the amount of dopamine you get from killing that tough boss is so rewarding. probs the best indie game ive ever played. Plus finding the berserk reference in my blind playthrough made the game 10x better xD

[@adamsunderland0823]

Especially after they added dlc into the main game. I got the plat and still haven't done a full dlc run. Close to 100 hours and still have wounds of eventide. And yeah the combat is so underrated. It's just as good as souls. If not better. Boss fights are so we'll designed and balanced.

[@idontslideidrift9857]

i was never a fan of 2d platformers but right now im trying to get into metroidvanias, blasphemous is the first one i bought and I LOVE IT im so glad i bought it, the game is amazing

[@lerigxfr]

Yeah Blasphemous is one of the best modern Metroidvanias , but please try out Hollow Knight , that game is a masterpiece no doubt bout it.

[@SpectralSound.]

Man what great time to get into metroidvanias.there are soo many to play.i do sugest to start with the castlevania ones (they are the best imo,at least the iga ones) and from there just search metroidvania games,you will find such great gems.oh and dont forget about bloodstained ritual of night.

Try Hollow Knight and Dead Cells.

[@Nathan.007]

Blasphemous is one of those games that speaks to you on a different level. You never get tired looking at it, thing is beautiful in a macabre kind of way. Yes, the parrying is so satisfying. I did one run of it. It really challenged me, well I nearly threw the towel in on that final boss. He was a doozy. Haven't played the DLC for it yet must get round to that. Congrats on the platinum, tough going.

[@notstarboard]

Currently about 90% through Hollow Knight and I liked Blasphemous a lot more. YMMV based on what you happened to find and when, but I thought the pacing in Hollow Knight was really poor. I got stuck and needed walkthroughs for multiple pieces of the game (because I happened to miss key items/areas, especially in regions I had no map for, and because the game doesn't teach you about the pogo jumping ability unlike literally every other ability in the game). Even in the mid game map traversal takes way too long to the point where it feels like a chore. I ended up slogging through the arena in the mid game before many key upgrades came in because that was more appealing than going elsewhere and spending like 20 minutes backtracking to the arena later. The geo economy is busted too - currently have like 25k and nothing to spend it on. Haven't been farming either; just been playing normally and not dying twice. Hollow Knight feels like it's building up to a big plot reveal at the end, which isn't dissimilar from Blasphemous, but Blasphemous I felt curious and engaged in the plot from the beginning while Hollow Knight seems to be asking me to trust it to have told a good story by the end. Both games have great soundtracks and atmosphere but Blasphemous clicked with me more. Hollow Knight has that same melancholy that lots of Metroidvanias have, which I like, but Blasphemous has that *and* is metal af.

[@damonke79]

I liked the Ori games, particularly Will of the Wisps, more than Hollow Knight but HK is damn good.

[@TheDurim87]

Blasphemous is a Masterpiece that's all .. I'm very excited for part 2

[@newdivide9882]

You’ve definitely reminded me that I really ought to buy this game. I’ve only played the demo, but I totally agree with you on the combat. It’s better than any other combat in any other Metroidvania I’ve ever played. Closest combat to this I’ve seen experienced is Sundered, and even that’s not as tight as Blasphemous

[@adamsunderland0823]

Sundered is another game on my list.

[@rover5058]

This game is basically castlevania but with all the flaws removed. Masterpiece.

[@HerMi.T]

hollow knight also has great combat btw castlevania has great combat and options. the problem is that it doesn't has bosses which challenge your knowledge of combat and test you how you use your abilities properly.

[@LuciferHunter-kt7pm]

I bought SOTN on release for the PS1 back when I was 19. It has been my favorite in the 2D Metroidvania genre ever since. I very recently (last week) got back into Blasphemous after playing the second game. I had only played the Stir of Dawn DLC and wanted to play the Wounds of Eventide DLC. Over the weekend I came to the conclusion that Blasphemous is now my favorite Metroidvania game. I absolutely love it

[@adamsunderland0823]

I haven't. Valfaris looks insane though. Definitely something I'm going to check out. That art style is wild. Slain looks a little generic. Still on my list though. And good luck with the blasphemous run.

Alucard from Symphony of the Night. Actually the greatest Metroidvania of all time. I really really enjoyed blasphemous. Connected with the themes of the game in a real way. But symphony of the night is probably one of the greatest games ever made.

[@tekkamangrave]

Dlc is fantastic. I still haven't even played all the content.

[@bobloerakker7010]

Team 17 is a really good game developer, since the amiga. Superfrog,bodyblows,alien breed and many more.

[@Alloveck]

Typically, I love Metroidvanias. But when I played Blasphemous, to keep this short, I found it just... okay overall. Liked the style and concepts more than the gameplay, and after my first blind run where I got everything that couldn't be permanently missed by accident, (boo to that sort of design in any game but ESPECIALLY Metroidvanias which usually can be trusted not to to do that,) I didn't care to go back for absolute completion. However, that was two years ago, back before the updates. So, in light of those, would it make sense for someone like me to go back to it? Did the updates do anything to change the experience overall, or just add more of what I was personally pretty meh about in the first place?

[@adamsunderland0823]

I think the updates really added alot to the experience. But the core game is still what it was. If you didn't love the combat there's not much of a difference. The new boss fights are pretty interesting. There's new story elements and lore. And yea it's not exactly like old school Metroidvanias. It has alot of the souls borne DNA. So multiple playthroughs will be required. Getting 100% takes quite a bit of effort and research. I used reddit for info. Instead of using a full blown guide. Ill say this this. I wasn't really feeling the game on my first run. When I went back for the 100% I started to notice all the nuance and detail. Maybe run it again with a guide. Explore all the content available.

[@Alloveck]

@@adamsunderland0823 Ah, I see. No tweaks to the overall experience, enemy behavior, new early game content or anything like that? Dang, sometimes updates do change things across the board, I was hoping this was one of those times. Well, thanks for the thorough and prompt answer in any case. I guess it's possible that a second playthrough of Blasphemous could set a new lifetime record for how long I had to play a game before it fully clicked. By a huge margin. I'll keep it in the "get to eventually" list. Still, it's weird that a combination of two series/genres I so consistently enjoy ended up being two great tastes that didn't taste so good together. I think the issue is that I have different combat expectations for 2d and 3d games. I'm fine with careful, technical Dark Souls combat in 3D, but years of 2D Castlevanias (And Bloodstained) makes me want lots of big flashy attacks and a more... breezy combat system when it's 2d.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

Blasphemous is awesome along with Bloodstained ritual of the night

[@Toycollectinggeek]

Finished elden ring and got platinum. Needed a new game. Just downloaded off ps now. Love metroidvania games. Last game I played was bloodstained. Can't wait

[@Thethem4357]

Dead cells is fun too but it's way harder and you have to run through the game all at once and has 5 different levels of difficulty that changes the enemies and weapons.

[@tetsusiega2]

I would do anything for Blasphemous. It’s my favorite game to come out in the last 5 years. I’m a little over halfway through 2 right now, and I’m trying to cherish it before it’s over. The approach they take to the second one I feel is equally opposite to the first one. The first games lore and world building are top notch. The second games lore is good so far, but the first half of the game felt more…reserved? They trade that for improvements to the already amazing combat by expanding your arsenal of weapons, abilities, and prayers. I miss having the mid-air attack-to-jump chain thing they did in 1, but you get a mid-air dash later to compensate. I’m hoping we get a third game, or maybe even a short series or something akin to the comic they made titled “The Kneeling”, which is a prequel/prologue to B1. The art style for the series is what really sells everything for me…and the approach to storytelling is smart AF. They don’t force you to understand what’s going on. Instead, they allow you to play the game as you like…while alluding to the deeper mysteries through the item descriptions and alternate endings…making you WANT to go back and figure out just what the heck is going on, but only after getting you addicted to the combat. I’m gonna shut up now, or I might go on forever. PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU LIKE GOOD THINGS

[@Shmuptopia]

I played the original version when it first came out and loved it - did both endings at the time but haven't touched the DLCs yet. Do they offer enough to warrant a second, full playthrough before starting Blasphemous II (which I booted up this morning but then figured maybe I need to revisit the first game)?

I just started with Blasphemous on Switch using the pro controller but I’m finding that often when I approach an enemy and stop, my character turns around the opposite direction so when I start swinging my sword, he’s attacking the wrong direction and the enemy gets a free hit on me. This happen to anyone else?

[@adamsunderland0823]

It's because of the dead zone on the controller. It's too tight. I had this problem with metal gear master collection. Run up to someone, let off the stick and it looks the opposite way. There's nothing that be done about it. For example PS2 controllers and games had much larger dead zones. If the stick moved a little in a direction the character wouldn't move. It bounces back on the stick when you let off. I used the d pad for blasphemous.

it's good and addictive but let's not exaggerate. the world design/layout is one of the major things holding this back from being even a top 10 metroidvania, as well as some other issues. it doesn't remotely hold a candle to symphony of the night. even for recent games, i'd put it well below bloodstained. the pixel art in the game and cutscenes is beautiful though.

I agree that the world design and layout isnt up to par with other MVs. But it's combat mechanics are top tier. Same with the art direction and Ost. Symphony of the night is a hard game to top though so I feel you.

[@piousaugustus84]

I play the game in Spanish. Being as the game was made by a Spanish developer and is based on the catholic lore of southern Spain it makes it feel more immersive for me. Only one part sounds better in English and thats the fight with Laudes. She sounds so much scarier in the English voice.

At this point blasphemous isn't even a real metroidvania Since the backtracking is almost completely optional

[@adamsunderland0823]

You usually end up back tracking, even though you don't technically have too. Most people won't even know that on the fist few runs. You'll be all over the map looking for secrets an items. It's got so many Metroidvania quality's outside this one technicality.

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

I would argue that hollow Knight as a contender for best metroidvania.

[@omaralsharabati5873]

Hollow knight is a amazing game but flawed and I feel like it gets at times too much praise even if I think it deserves it aka my problem with it is how it at times spams obnoxious enemy’s at you and some frustrating boss fights that are a bit bs even if the boss quality itself is great the pure vessel and three of the mantis lords being so of my favorite bosses does this game have that issue

[@adamsunderland0823]

I need to play though it soon. I've heard it was hard. I only made like halfway through the game.

[@omaralsharabati5873]

@@adamsunderland0823 ok just wondering and I’m excited to play it looks like the combat is very fluid so I’ll love that

[@quirrel1453]

Hollow Knight is perfect and flawless.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

Watch the Trailer, see the light. GRIME. The other Underrated Metroidvania no one is talking about.

[@Evilzon85]

You didn't mention it but you really need to play Hollow Knight!

[@AF-dn2bz]

this game has less handholding than any game I've ever played. The map is riddled with icons with no legend telling you what they are. The areas are not scaled to difficulty and it doesn't tell you which area to start journeying down. The bosses are dark soul difficult. One piece of advice and don't feel like a wuss for taking it: Play this game through from start to finish with a walk-through guide, like the one Fextralife offers. it won't make the game easier, and it will ensure you don't retrace your steps 100 times fighting all those ultra hard enemies you previously beat while attempting to find out where you are supposed to go next.

[@adamsunderland0823]

Using a guide will 100% percent ruin the experience. But I agree that this game is brutal.

[@AF-dn2bz]

@@adamsunderland0823 Go right ahead and tell me how it will ruin the experience. i'm honestly listening. but you'll need to explain how someone would know to take the unhatched egg from Grievance all the way across the map back to the Mountains, plant that egg at a tree, leave the screen, then return to retrieve the egg which has now hatched, then take that hatched egg back to Alberto and offer it to the golden mask lady. Dude, just no. I get your purism, I do, but no not for this game.

[@TheFlopped2979]

Using a guide will kinda mess up the experience, just search up a specific thing if you get stuck, do NOT look up a guide from the beginning

Hollow knight is better in my opinion it's just more loveable

[@notstarboard]

You...you didn't love the puppy? :(

[@Crabsus]

Hollow knight I beat then I I’m going to try to 100% blasphemous

[@cardboardorigins]

I personally found this game to be super buggy when it comes to the platforming, and I would have liked it to be a bit more difficult. Most bosses were down in one or two tries. If hollow knight gets a 10/10 from me and I consider 5/10 to be average, I would give this game around 6/10 because I did really like certain aspects of it. But randomly dying about 5 times from weird screen scroll bugs really brings it down for me.

[@adamsunderland0823]

There's hardly any bugs in this game. Show me a video of buggy platforming. Or the screen rolling glitch causing anyone to die. Maybe on pc because if you're pc. But the console versions ran really well.

[@Mygrandpaspodcast]

Please play hollow knight it is by far the best metroidvania of all time. Blasphemous is very fuckin good too tho

[@jovanialvarez9310]

Final boss was underwhelming af
