"Welcome back to the Indie Highlight Reel where every week OnlySP runs down the most promising titles to emerge from the indie scene. The field was packed this week, with a huge number of promising games popping their heads up, but a socially-conscious platformer, a reborn tactical RPG, a 2D dark fantasy adventure, and a strange but stunning genre hybrid managed to stand out amongst the competition."
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "If you’re looking for a title with exploration, platforming, and some challenging combat, this is a great experience that adds to 2019’s absolutely incredible line-up of releases. The problem is it’s a bad Metroidvania, which is a shame because this is an article series about Metroidvanias. If I do a series on Souls-likes, expect Blasphemous to be at the top of the list, but as far as Metroidvanias go it rates pretty low because it hardly even attempts to be part of the genre."
i initially wanted to play it cause of the art style, too me a while to actually find it, but damn did i love the game and the lore
The Humble Must-Play Metroidvania Bundle just launched with Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and more. As always, a percentage supports charity.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
