The sequel to one of the most brutal, disgusting Metroidvanias ever is about to launch
6K View2023-08-24
If you played the original Blasphemous anytime since it came out in 2019, then you know it was a disturbingly bloody little game that proved that pixel-art graphics can still bring the gore and grossness. And if you played it, you'll also know that on top of being filled with messed up enemies and cutscenes, it was also an extremely good Metroidvania.
But whether you played the first game or not, you should take note of the impending release of Blasphemous 2. This sequel brings a similar Bloodborne or Dark Souls-style aesthetic but ups the ante with a much bigger world, more weapon types and abilities to unlock, and a story that's somehow even darker than the first.
In other words, it's great! If you want more details, you can check out the Quick Review from TapTap editor Kef:

SHOULD I PLAY BLASPHEMOUS 2?
This is the easiest “YES” I’ve given in ages, unless you can't handle how nasty it is. Blasphemous 2 is a sequel to what was already one of the best and most memorable Metroidvanias of the modern era. But much more than just retreading the exact same territory, this sequel builds wisely on the strengths of the first game. It’s not just a long adventure and not just a return to the disturbing, gothic world of 2019’s

One of the best Metroidvania game back once again! - Blasphemous II Review!
Reviewing one of the favorite Indie games with the most well-told story, creative bosses, and unique environments, we are back with more grotesque creatures!
Today, we are taking a look at Blasphemous II.
Side note before we start!
You do not have to play Blasphemous I to understand II since this is a new story, but the story does continue from the free DLC to Blasphemous I called "Wounds of Eventide."

Back into the world of Mystery and Blood! Blasphemous II Review!
Summary:
Awakened in a strange new land and displaced from his final resting place, The Penitent One is thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection, with no option but to explore this perilous new world and uncover its long-forgotten secrets. Hordes of grotesque enemies stand in your way, awaiting final judgment by the brutal hand of the Penitent One, with titanic twisted bosses also lurking in the darkness, waiting for their chance to return you to the grave from whence you came. Taking them down won't be easy, but with Blasphemous 2 offering more chances to customize and improve your skill set and several new unique weapons to wield with righteous zeal and unending fury, victory might be within grasp. Ultimately, only one thing is sure… Penance Never Ends
