Blasphemous II Slashes Its Way Onto Switch This Summer

Lol @ the sequel to Blasphemous being out before the Last Faith releases 😆

Brilliant, the first one was amazing so well up for this.

After I finish Blaster Master Zero trilogy, I need to get in to Blasphemous. It's precisely my kind of crazy.

@BenAV it's an excellent game but if you lack the patience to try punishingly difficult boss battles over and over again then it may not be for you

@BenAV I get you. I will say though, this game sucks you in. I really never thought I was into games like this but it's just so brilliant I couldn't put it down until I finished it, and it's not overly long either. Well worth giving it a go if you think you'll enjoy it.

So happy we got more info on this game. The first one was amazing, I can’t wait play the sequel. Challenging but fair, great music and some of the best pixel art I’ve seen in a while IMO. The devs added more free DLC to it so it’s even better now than originally released.

I got the first game physically on PS4 during a sale, but have yet to play it. Looks like I better hop to it sooner than later. lol

Awesome news! Loved the first one, one of my favorite meteoidvanias.

Love the art style but just feels sooo sluggish to play.

Day 1. So awesome.

How did the 2nd one come out so fast? Shouldn't it be in development hell for like 7 years?

Always good to see successful indies follow it up with a sequel. Looks good.

If Silksong doesn't make it out this year, I will be content to have this. The first was so, so good despite some minor movement related clunk.

I am so excited for this. Blasphemous is one of my favorite Metroid type games I have ever played.

I’d be excited for this usually but dang, it just really looks like more of the same but… JUST more of the same. Hopefully it’s a bit more unique because those areas just look like they’re from the first game again.

Looks like fun, loved the first one. Creepy and dark. Excellent game. Wonder if Silksong is ever coming out....

Hopefully it's as good as the first one.

G'Lord it looks gorgeous. The first game is still on my wishlist unpurchased. Other games have often taken priority. I may wait for no.2 instead then? We'll see.

FYI I believe there used to be a demo for Blasphemous on the eShop for those of you who are on the fence about trying it out.

I can’t confirm that it’s still there but check it out

I need to finish the first one, the game is hard but really satisfying to play

@Otoemetry Was that the update for Blasphemous they announced in of those indie worlds alongside Blasphemous II?

On topic: Can not wait. I loved Blasphemous. One of the few Metroidvanias that are actually fun to backtrack in because the combat is so satisfying.

@StefanN no it's another game, I think they were in development around the same time Blasphemous released so they got a fair amount of flack for looking like a copycat... but it's vapourware at this point, I think it was originally supposed to come out in 2019 maybe?

Is the game actually Blasphemous? Asking for a friend. <.< >.>

Yes! YES! YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!

Best news today frfr

My first question when there is a sequel to a metroidvania is what happens to the previous games’ powerups when you start the game?
Blaster Master Zero handled this beautifully across the 3 games. I love when you keep most, if not all the powerups/abilities and just get more in the sequel.

The game is challenging, and I thought I wasn't going to be able to hack it, no pun intended. There were definitely some parts, mostly platforming, where I got caught out in a good old "whoops!" But I never felt the game was unfair, and I always felt like I was right there with beating whatever adversary I was against. I've played far more unforgiving games, so... as much as I don't want to dive back into this world, I can't help but want to know what becomes of the penitent one.

I still need to finish the original. I've meant to for the longest time but other games kept pulling me away. Blasphemous is awesome though!

@Otoemetry Oooooh wow thank you for telling me about this, it looks amazing! Just like Blasphemous indeed 😅. But hey, i'd love if there were more Metroidvanias that actually looked nice and respected your time like Blasphemous, The Messenger, Ori. Not like Axiom Verge or to a big extent Hollow Knight

@StefanN no worries, let's hope you won't be waiting as long as I have been 😆
What do you mean about Hollow Knight?

@Otoemetry Aah you know, my passive aggressive remark was based on that walk of shame back to every boss that you had to do after losing to them. The Messenger or Blasphemous have checkpoints pretty much right before each boss. Hollow Knight makes you fight a little ways back to them and I found that more and more annoying, the longer I played 😕.

@StefanN I get you, it didn't bother me too much I can appreciate that it bothered some people. Can't remember ever having to backtrack too much apart from that one quest 😂
