Blasphemous, the critically acclaimed 2D platformer drawing inspiration from religious iconography and Spanish folklore, is now available on Android! This release includes all DLC, gamepad support, and a completely redesigned user interface optimized for mobile. The iOS version is coming soon.
The unsettling nature of organized religion is undeniable; Blasphemous masterfully captures this unease with its dark gothic aesthetic, intense side-scrolling combat, and unforgiving difficulty. Now, Android users can experience this challenging adventure.
Players take on the role of The Penitent One, a heavily armored warrior striving to liberate the cursed island of Cvstodia from the malevolent influence of The Miracle. Confronting grotesque creatures born from a twisted blend of religious imagery and Spanish folklore, your quest is fraught with peril and repeated failure.
Blasphemous's mobile port features a revamped UI and intuitive touch controls, while also offering Bluetooth gamepad compatibility for those preferring traditional controllers. All DLC is included in this release.
iOS users will need to exercise patience, as the game's launch is slated for late February 2025. However, given its widespread acclaim, the wait will undoubtedly be worthwhile.
Mobile platformers haven't always been a smooth experience for me personally. Touchscreen controls aren't ideal for precision platforming, a lesson learned firsthand with the classic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
