Sarah KeyworthHOST
Mm.
Glenn MooreHOST
It's a very Spanish ga-- It's, it's, it's Spanish horror in the vein of, like, Blasphemous, which was a really great two-D Metroidvania-
Sarah KeyworthHOST
Mm
Glenn MooreHOST
... with, like, very, like, Cath-Catholic horror-
Max ScovilleHOST
The former is PS5 exclusive and the latter is cross-gen.
Max ScovilleHOST
On the 29th, you've got your pick of Ninja Gaiden: Rage Bound, the fresh spin on the classic platformer from the team behind Blasphemous.
Max ScovilleHOST
There's Dungeons of Hinterberg, a chill RPG that's about backpacking, but also exploring dungeons.
Max ScovilleHOST
And of course, Sniper Elite: Resistance, which will let you shoot Nazis right in their unmentionables in gruesome slow motion.
StikzHOST
And no one's going to do that.
23rd StallionHOST
When I played Blasphemous, which was 18 hours, I thought that was a long game.
23rd StallionHOST
I thought 18 hours was a long fucking time.
23rd StallionHOST
It is.
1 HR 8 MINS LATER
23rd StallionHOST
I said, fuck this.
23rd StallionHOST
Um...
23rd StallionHOST
And, yeah, I beat Blasphemous in Blasphemous 2.
23rd StallionHOST
I've been through worse bosses, but this one was...
KenHOST
I know the people that did...
KenHOST
They always get confused because the guys that made Blasphemous ended up making that Ninja Gauntlet game.
KenHOST
Evil Empire.
KenHOST
Uh...
RyanHOST
Blasphemous, also very good.
RyanHOST
Yes, very hard, but very good.
RyanHOST
It is very hard.
MattHOST
The Last Faith, if you don't remember, was a sort of side-scrolling Metroidvania in the style of something like Bloodborne.
MattHOST
Very similar to something like Blasphemous, but without that level of polish to it.
MattHOST
It's a fine enough game.
MattHOST
Story-wise, I have no idea what the fuck's going on.
AndrewHOST
The heavy-duty pixies and potions and lords and ladies of Final Fantasy, The Witcher and Dragon Quest have always held me at arm's length, whereas the brighter, light touch of something like that Nintendo series about the Silent Swordsman does not.
AndrewHOST
Even something like Blasphemous, a pretty serious grimdark 2D action Soulsvania, holds a certain appeal, but that's probably due to the increased emphasis on hitting things hard and often.
AndrewHOST
And so we come to From Software.
AndrewHOST
I've always been interested in the nearly 40-year-old Japanese development studio, simultaneously intrigued and repelled by the reputation they have for fully realised immersive games that are knuckle-grindingly punishing and inaccessibly difficult, and all the swords, chainmail and talking trees.
AceHOST
I had the game 100%, and then of course when they add an expansion they add more achievements.
AceHOST
So I was like, "I gotta 100% it again." And then I got a nice little surprise of finding out they added some, like, indie game collaboration armors, specifically the armor from Blasphemous.
JoshHOST
Yeah.
AceHOST
And now I get to be a rat dressed as the Penitent One, and I was like-
AceHOST
[laughs]
JoshHOST
But-
AceHOST
In the world of Blasphemous.
JoshHOST
Yeah, I guess maybe.
Sean CapriHOST
Tasty.
BowserHOST
"Unlock new armor inspired by Blasphemous, Cult of the Lamb, Dave the Diver, Death's Door, Moonlighter, and Beyond Galaxy Land."
Sean CapriHOST
There you go.
Sean CapriHOST
Dude, just like...
