Blasphemous
Blasphemous is a brutal action-platformer with skilled hack’n slash combat set in the nightmare world of Cvstodia. Explore, upgrade your abilities, and perform savage executions on the hordes of enemies that stand between you and your quest to break eternal damnation.
Why on Deck
There’s something about holding Blasphemous in your hands that makes the oppressive world of Cvstodia feel more immediate. More claustrophobic. It demands your full attention (the precise combat, the detailed grim pixel art, all of it), and the Deck’s form factor somehow sharpens that focus rather than diluting it. It’s Gold on ProtonDB rather than Platinum, but in practice it runs without any notable issues.
