Developer The Game Kitchen’s wonderfully grotesque “non-linear” action-platformer, Blasphemous, is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch on 10th September. Ahead of its full release, however, PC players can sample its morbid delights, courtesy of an extremely limited-time demo on Steam.
Blasphemous charts the decidedly bleak adventures of The Penitent One – a pointy hatted fellow with a barbed-wire sword, caught in an “endless cycle of death and rebirth”.
What follows is a “punishing” jaunt across the accursed kingdom of Cvstodia, blending “evocative” exploration and the “fast-paced, skilled combat of a hack-n-slash game”. It all looks stunning too, in a sort of horrifically wrong, slightly mangled sort of way.
