Blasphemous II
Blasphemous 2 is a side-scrolling Metroidvania video game developed by The Game Kitchen and published by Team17. A sequel to Blasphemous (2019). Like its predecessor, Blasphemous 2 is a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania action-adventure game. Players assume control of the Penitent One, a silent knight who must embark on a new adventure in a new kingdom to prevent the rebirth of a curse named "The Miracle". The story of the game is set after the "Wounds Of Eventide" update of the original game. As with previous games in the series, the world in the game is filled with deadly traps, difficult platform sequences, hostile enemies and boss characters, though players will also encounter other non-playable characters who will either offer aid to the player or send them on side quests. The game introduces several new weapons, with each having their own reach, speed, special abilities and skill tree. The weapons in the game include the War Censer, which deals powerful but slow attacks, Rapier and Dagger, a dual-wielding weapon which deals rapid damage, and the Praying Blade, a versatile weapon that blends the strength of both weapons. These weapons are also useful for traversal, aiding players in discovering new paths and solving puzzles. The abilities of the protagonist can also be customized. Players can equip up to five "rosary beads", which provide passive bonuses to the player, and two active spells (known as prayers) in the game. Players can also collect statues which provide small bonuses by themselves, and more significant buffs when they are placed together in certain combinations
Blasphemous II
Fun metroidvania game that can be brutal at times. I enjoy the option between switching different weapons, once you can get to all of them, to be used in their own special way. You have an upgrade path for each weapon that unlocks more damage or perks as you go. It has simple controls so its not hard to pick up and get a good feel of the game. The boss battles were fun, a few that felt like the same just maybe re-styled or a slightly different combination of attacks. Overall it has been a lot of fun.
