Released earlier this week, Blasphemous: The Stir of Dawn’s new content overlaps with the base game’s narrative, adding hours of new gameplay spread out across your entire playthrough. The core gameplay is a smooth mix of hacking and slashing through medieval landscapes heavily inspired from nightmarish representations of holy crusades and traversal puzzles that open up the world as you gain abilities, and the Metroidvania experience hides ample secrets and rewards tucked into every corner of a game world that’s coloured with horrific bosses and traumatic NPCs. The base game offers around 20 hours of non-linear gameplay that sends The Penitent One on a disturbing journey across Cvstodia.

Twisted religious story-telling at its finest.

Blasphemous’ Kickstarter success can be attributed to The Game Kitchen’s pedigree, with the Seville, Spain-based developer previously creating the award-winning point-and-click adventure The Last Door - one of the finest horror games I’ve ever played.

The Game Kitchen’s indie Souls-like, Blasphemous, beckons players back to the gothic, side-scrolling madness of Cvstodia with a massive free update, The Stir of Dawn, which not only brings a number of quality-of-life changes but also serves as a significant expansion that opens new areas to traverse as you explore a brand-new storyline.īlasphemous was initially released on September 10 last year after yet another explosive Kickstarter campaign, which saw The Game Kitchen securing its initial target of $50,000 in just 24 hours and going on to secure over $200,000, enabling release on all major consoles. Our former boy Brendy declared Blasphemous one of the the best games like Dark Souls, saying 'It feels like a bitterly lapsed Roman Catholic and ardent metal fan travelled back in time and made a soulsy game in the era of pixel Castlevania.This article was originally published on Doublejump. The game's also on GOG, Xbone, PlayStation, and Switch. The devs say on Steam they'll be revealing more in the run-up to launch. The Stir Of Dawn is due to arrive on August 4th. The new optional Penitence System lets you amp up the difficulty by picking one of three paths offering greater challenges but also maybe some buffs, changing how you'll play. Balancing is tweaked, including buffing Prayers. It'll have an option for Castilian Spanish voices. More fast travel points are around the world. The map screen is redesigned with support for custom markers and zooming. You'll need to really suffer if you want to see more of the cycle of this broken world. Adding a new quest line to that is interesting, even if lots of folks likely won't see it. So yes, True Calvary will let you start a new run over, facing tougher enemies but keeping your old gear. The Game Kitchen announced The Stir Of Dawn, as they call this 'free DLC', during last night's Day Of The Devs showcase.
