Blasphemous

A dark 2D action-platformer with Metroidvania exploration, set in a twisted religious world. You fight with a sword, explore connected areas, unlock abilities, and face tough bosses. Combat is demanding and punishes mistakes, and the setting is gothic and violent. Expect a hard but atmospheric journey. Is it your kind of game?
