Blasphemous 2 brings back the Penitent One, the silent warrior from the first game, who wakes in a new land and returns to battle The Miracle, the force behind the endless cycle of suffering. The world draws heavily on religious art and Spanish imagery, and it is packed with grotesque enemies, hidden paths and secrets to find.
It is a 2D action game in the metroidvania style, with exploration, backtracking and demanding boss fights. Combat is built around a choice of weapons that each change how you fight and which routes you can open. It is a single-player game aimed at players who enjoy tough, deliberate combat and a dark, detailed setting.
