#Blasphemous strife and ruin map update#

More throwback stylings will come with several new CRT-style screen filter options, as well as a whole new area. Our former boy Brendy declared Blasphemous one of the best Soulslikes, explaining it 'feels like a bitterly lapsed Roman Catholic and ardent metal fan travelled back in time and made a soulsy game in the era of pixel Castlevania.' A crossover with a slighter newer form of Castlevania makes sense, in a way. I'd like to suggest one of Miriam's many good hats, which the Penitent One would pop atop his own bloodcone. Platforming is certainly not one of Blasphemous's strengths, so I hope the reward is proper good. 'Filled with traps that force the player to hone their precision platforming abilities, those who pass the test and help Miriam return to her world will have a special reward bestowed upon them,' it explains. Today's announcement says Miriam's mission will send folks through 'a series of platforming challenges' to collect shards so Miriam can repair her portal home. Have a peek at it all in the new trailer, below. It'll also bosh in a new Boss Rush mode and a retro-styled 'Demake' hidden area.

Launching Thursday, the free 'Strife & Ruin' update will add a new mission to help her return home. The grim Catholic fantasy world of Blasphemous will get slightly more cheery and colourful with a free update bringing over Miriam, the kickwizard from Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night.
