Blasphemous Is Basically A 2D Dark Souls

Blasphemous Is Basically A 2D Dark Souls

There’s a Kickstarter campaign for Blasphemous, a game which looks very cool for a number of reasons, but mostly because it looked like some guys went “hey we should make a side-scrolling Dark Souls” then actually went and did it.

Here’s the pitch:

Blasphemous is an action-platformer that combines the fast-paced, skilled combat of a hack-n-slash game with a deep and evocative narrative core, delivered through exploration of a huge universe comprised of non-linear levels.

But perhaps of more interest to you, as someone who can’t actually play the game (yet), is pixel art like this:

The development team — the same studio behind The Last Door — are looking at bringing Blasphemous to PC, with stretch goals present to try and get it to console as well.

Blasphemous is asking for $US50,000 ($66,867). You can back it here if you want.
