Blasphemous - 2D Side-Scroller Action RPG

[Silver]

Blasphemous is a 2D Side-Scroller Action RPG currently on Kickstarter and already well past its goal of 50K with 24 days to go.

Features

• Explore a huge land, a universe that feels as open as it is oppressive, delivered through a non-sequential level design that puts you in control of where to go next.
• We are putting great focus on achieving a very satisfying combat mechanics with very responsive control, smooth animations and lots of blood and gore.
• Handmade pixel art, with large sprites and super smooth animations, created pixel by pixel, frame by frame.
• Evocative narrative: Blasphemous' levels are not just platforms; they tell a story to those who are interested, but don't get in the way if you just want the action.
• Find your personal combat style by equipping rosary beads, or carrying around relics that boost your abilities.

Well, that's something you don't see every day. Curious as to what the story is like.

Dark Souls in 2D. Looks interesting enough and the pixel art is top-notch. Not really my genre, though.

I find the art style really cool, but I'm not fond of sidescrollers. Also if its Dark Scrolls type combat, that's not for me either.

Reminds me of Slain but more gore. I'm not a big fan of pixel art but I can appreciate when it's top quality and this is. The atmosphere seems to be great, though the enemies shown in the trailer seem to be very sameish.

It is based on the easter tradition of my town by the way. Curious to see how this game is taken there by some religious zealots if it ever reaches them.

I'm interested and might pledge to support the devs even if is not my favourite genre.

Anyone interested in this might want to check Maldita Castilla a free game based on the classic Ghoul and Ghosts with a theme of spanish medieval leyends and horrors.
