Fans of the popular Metroidvania subgenre will likely have heard of the game Blasphemous, which hit the scene in late 2019 to mostly positive reviews. Although having already clocked almost six years on the market, the game continues to be an excellent pick for those on the prowl for a dark and challenging adventure. Better yet, the game is now available for its lowest-ever price of just $2.49 on Steam courtesy of a 90% discount.
Players will assume the role of 'The Penitent One', who will be setting out on a journey for redemption through a somewhat twisted, albeit beautiful landscape filled to the brim with quite unsightly enemies and striking religious art. The game offers dozens of hours of gameplay, challenging boss battles, as well as interesting lore that is bound to keep plenty of Metroidvania fans glued to their screens.
The game boasts over 41,000 reviews on Steam, 90% of which are positive. For those desiring to take a peek into the world of dark fantasy, Soulslike games, Blasphemous, at its current price offers an excellent entry point. Pixel-art enjoyers will be equally pleased, thanks to the title's intricate environment design. As is the story with all game deals, interested gamers are advised to be mindful of the deal's time-sensitive nature.
