Blasphemous update! I think I'm finally getting the hang of this game. I'm super impatient so all of these enemies that take parrying and dodging make me want to pull my hair out, but now I'm at a point where I just have to fight them if I don't want to constantly die.

Blasphemous update! I think I'm finally getting the hang of this game. I'm super impatient so all of these enemies that take parrying and dodging make me want to pull my hair out, but now I'm at a point where I just have to fight them if I don't want to constantly die. So, I made it through a few more bosses. Dude on the bridge was REAL hard. That took me a few dozen tries. Exhumed Archbishop went pretty quick, I finished the Redento quest, and am pretty much through Mother of Mothers. I have the Nail Uprooted in Dirt and that lightning spell, so I'm going to back track a third (fourth?) time and get all the Children of Midnight and everything else I missed so far. A bit over halfway and about 19 hours in.

Well, I hadn't made much progress in the last month, so I put this down for a while. I started up again this weekend and managed to actually make it through some new areas and beat two bosses. The boss fights are definitely more fun than a lot of the rest. I think my problem was right after the beginning, I went up into the Graveyard of the Peaks and the Lady of the Charred Visage area and I was NOT ready for that. So I went down to Mercy Dreams and wow, that was so much easier. It didn't make the harder parts any easier, but at least I had a big enough life meter and enough bile containers to make it further.

Purchased this knowing I will suck at it because every screenshot I have seen looks absolutely stunning. I am sure my anxiety will love this!

Just showing off some more of the beautiful art of this game. Continues to blow my socks off every time I uncover a new area or new creatures. Soundtrack is lovely as well.

The game seems to be around 14-17 hours long for a quick playthrough, and maybe add on another 6 or so hours if you want to find and complete all the secret things and quests and uncover all the map. Definitely a much bigger game than I expected. I wonder if there's a hard mode or NG+, I'll be most interested to check that out. There are achievements for no healing runs n such.

Well, I jumped on this bandwagon. I haven’t made much progress yet, but I have died a whole lot! Y’all, I am so bad at this game. The game world and spectacle of it all is truly incredible though.

Somebody told me about a side quest I really didn't even knew it existed so I'm coming back to this bad boy and try to 100% it.

Also, did I told you it has multiple endings?

This game is potential game-of-the-year material. Some of these boss fights are really intense. I'm about half way through.

Really enjoying Blasphemous thus far. I remember playing an early alpha build and I wasn't particularly impressed. The game has come a long way since then. The pixel art is incredible.

It has a bit of a Bloodborne influence I think.

I backed this on kickstarter a while ago. It's looking like it's shaping up pretty well actually. They recently put a page of it on Steam too. I hope the gameplay is as good as the pixel art, often these games end up being more style than substance (kinda like Death's Gambit).
