How it feels

A punishing 2D action game where every step through a grotesque, lore-heavy world feels tense and deliberate.

What players say

Players agree Blasphemous 2 refines the combat and movement of the original, but opinions split on its difficulty and respect for your time. Some praise the weapon variety and buildcrafting, while others complain enemies have too much health and hit too hard. The hand-drawn cutscenes of the first game are replaced with a cheaper style, which disappoints many long-time fans.
