Press Quotes
“...I can't get Blasphemous off my mind.” 8/10 – Destructoid “Not only is it downright gorgeous, but the gameplay is uniformly excellent and hunting for its many secrets make it a puzzle well worth exploring.” 9/10 – PC Invasion “Blasphemous is an excellent metroidvania with a fantastically realized setting and gorgeous, albeit barbaric, aesthetic. Highly recommended.” 10/10 – CG Mag Online
