No souls or waifu in the title? *BLASPHEMY, HERESY AND BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. YOU SHALL RECEIVE DIVINE PUNISHMENT AND SUFFER FOR THIS HEINOUS ACT*
@guygaming7268 Nah, that would be "Se piadoso". "Ten Piedad" literally translates to "Have mercy", "Piedad" is the noun meaning mercy, and Ten comes from the verb Tener, which means "To have".
This entire game looks like one of those high quality static images that pixel artists spend hours making. I wish it wasn't pretty much the only game of it's medium to have this quality and quantity of art and animation.
It's expensive and hard to make, unfortunately. Blasphemous had that confluence of skill and passion but its hard for other developers to afford the massive risk of failure, monetarily. Here's to hoping it inspires generations to come, however.
The boss fights in this game, specifically the small one-on-ones a like Esdras or fucking Crisanta, are some of the most frustrating, well designed, and satisfying bosses I've ever faced. My favorite boss fights are the ones that feel like you're actually fighting a person, and those two give me that feeling. I fucking love this game.
In my opinion, it’s the only 2D “Metroidvania” that can compare to Hollow Knight! Admittedly, the jank prevented me from playing again after I got 100%. Eventually I will have to replay to experience the final dlc. I only hope they build on what has been established for the sequel! The grotesque subject matter really appeals to the 14 year old edgelord in me. Haha
Loved this game, just as you said the sprite work is just beautiful for just how brutal the game makes everything look. You certainly did a lot better than I did on my play through as well because fuuuck did I have troubles with that first boss.
Btw the ending A bullshit is super worth it and fun. I did it on accident my first playthrough (as in I completed a few of them, looked up how to get the good ending, and saw I just needed to do it for all of them) But basically, you equip the perfect pearl rosary or whatever it's called, basically the thing that does nothing, and then die 3 times with it equipped and it'll turn into "the Weight of Guilt" or something like that. Then destroy those Guilt statues and play through their challenges, which are these fun rooms where waves of enemies are spawned and you just survive till the end. Do that for all 7 and that's it. It's super fun.
Listen to you with an American voice? That's blasphemy! Nah, it ain't even the Aussie accent, it's the memes, the humor, the editing and the.... WAIFU VIDEOS
@οὐτόπος I still take Hollow Knight as the highest point of the metroidvania genre, but Blasphemous follows up very closely, just needed some more complexity in the maps, the way to play it was a bit lineal
I know it's from totally different field of games but I think THE best pixel art I've ever seen in my entire pixel loving life is got to be in the Heroes of Might and Magic 2. The sheer magnitude of a visual masterpiece they manage to do with the amount of pixels they have on their hand is downright astonishing.
I bet at least half of the staff that made this game used to work at Gameloft back when it was good. I'd recognise those aesthetics and gameplay anywhere, particularly from their old prince of persia mobile adaptations. Really talented people.
short video must be a small game *everyone whos played this and knows the wiki is a must for this amount of content and that this took a lot longer than it seems*
Ah the classic Indeimaus bit where in he falls down a hundred pits made even funnier with the knowledge that he has to go back all the way to the last bonfire in Blasphemous
I loved playing through this game. It was absolutely fantastic to play through. The only thing I genuinely dislike is how the side quests work but aside from that it's an amazing game.
Forgot how good this game was; haven't played it in so long. Cool to see you go through it dude and love it like I did. The art is still just as stunning as when I first play it.
I love how this game is mostly in spanish or at least you need to know a bit to get some stuff. Well now that the dlc is out and since this game is based on spanish culture the lore will be expanded only if you played it in that language.
i love your voice definitely one of the things i love about this channel i know this comment is a bit late but you are my favorite youtuber honestly this channel has helped me laugh on so of my darkest days keep doing good work Indeimaus
Was NOT ready for that Pat reference... as usual its sucha fucking joy watching and listening to you ramble on through these videos that it almost feels like these are 10 minutes and not 40+
Funfact; when he is attacked through the broken wall I got an add on the video with yet another guy breaking through a wall into an office saying "I will lay claim to your soul foolish mortal!!!" and this just made my day.
I ended up buying and 100% this game thanks to this video :D Im not an achievement hunter but this game really is great and well worth any praise it gets :)
The Stir of Dawn DLC came out for free just recently! Includes a new updated map, voice acting, bosses, and other helpful features like additional teleporting through the prie dieu (via the Donation church)
7:41 I'd watch you regardless of what voice or accent you have, it's the good person and their wonderful personality I come for, along with the wonderful effort and care you put into your videos.
am really thankful to you, 'cause I wanted to find out about the plot and playthrough of the game without watching 20 episodes of someone playing I need to say a person needs to be good at editing and understand what to leave and what not to make a 32 hrs video from 11+- hrs actual footage, this also needed when you write presentations, reports. pretty good skill to have which needs practice.. yeah good skill to know what to detail on a picture and what not that much.. anyway, RIP Viridiana
The game is based heavily off Spanish Christianity, especially during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and is heavily, HEAVILY based around the ideas of 'Original Sin' and 'Suffering as a way of Atonement for our Sins'. The game is supposed to be teeth grinding, keyboard smashing hard because suffering is a central theme of the game. During the Middle Ages and even through the Colonial era, a philosophy spread through the various abbey's in Spain and it's colonies that suffering was inherent to our atonement and was the purest and best way to absolve ourselves of our sins. Furthermore, we deserved our suffering - not just for our own sins but for the sins of our forefathers. Some abbeys and brotherhoods of monks would take this so far as to constantly inflict pain upon themselves in order to "atone" for their suffering. In fact, one specific abbey of monks in 17th century Spain would wear masks or sometimes just bandages in public because their faces were so horribly disfigured from self-deprecation. And then there were some of the more popular methods of "punishing ones self for their sins", such as the mass flagellations that started taking place in the Middle Ages which eventually got so bad the Church banned it out right. The idea of original sin can be similarly compared to the eastern idea of karma, where the suffering one goes through in their life is directly due to what they did in their past lives. The difference being that reincarnation is not a part of Catholicism, and instead the suffering that you bare in your life is directly due to the sins of your father, and his father, going all the way back to the very first sin committed by Adam in the garden when he took the apple from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. That's right, according to Catholicism we're STILL paying for that. As for the idea the suffering we endure is pious and noble, and that there's no better form of repentance that enduring suffering, that's a wholly Catholic thing, specifically speaking it's mostly a wholly Spanish-Catholic thing. Most forms of Christianity don't hold this belief. Another thing to note is that original sin, specifically sin in and of itself has a huge tie in with "guilt" in Spanish Catholicism. We all carry massive amounts of guilt upon our shoulders, from birth, and whether you actually did anything is irrelevant or not because we are born with the sin of those who came before stained upon our souls. You can still to this day see remnants of the old Spanish-Catholic idea that suffering = piety. In New Mexico for example, there are two separate events which both Catholics and Christians take part in. One, is that during a certain time of the year, people will often make an on-foot pilgrimage from wherever they live in New Mexico to the Cathedral in Santa Fe, which could be anywhere from 10 to five hundred miles. While harrowing, this in and of itself wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they also carry an actual full sized wooden cross on their backs - the pilgrimage meant to represent Jesus's forced march to his crucifixion site in which he had to carry the cross he was laid upon. Because several people have been hospitalized due to exhaustion and dehydration, the state government has discussed several times banning this form of pilgrimage, though they've never succeeded because doing so would be a direct violation of the U.S. Constitution, which expressly enshrines the rights of the freedom of religious expression so long as said expression doesn't hurt others. Doesn't say anything about hurting yourself, though. Another example is also in Santa Fe. There is an entirely uphill path made of jagged stone, with a shrine at the end of the path. Tradition states that in order to get to the shrine to worship at it/receive it's blessing, one must crawl on their knees to the shrine along the pathway of jagged stone, with the route being about a mile long. The game is very much about suffering for all the reasons I've explained above. It wants you to feel pain, because pain (or rather, pain through penance) is quite literally the name of the game. Well - not the actual name of the game, but you get it. The game WANTS you to suffer, because in both the world of Blasphemous and old Spanish-Catholicism that it took inspiration from, suffering is the greatest form of penance. And if you didn't notice, your character is literally called the "Penitent One", and the journey you are on is a spiritual pilgrimage to obtain penance, both for you and your people. It is only right that you suffer on your path of absolution for if you didn't go through hardship, have you truly learned anything or absolved yourself? Finally, you might be wondering why what I mention or the game is so heavily connected to both Middle Ages Spanish folklore and Spanish-centric Catholicism. Well, the developers are Spanish of course, and that is what they drew on for inspiration in the creation of their world. This is a game where you REALLY need to pay attention to learn the lore, and this includes reading item descriptions. It's not like other games where it's going to dump all the lore of the world onto you in a ten minute long exposition at the beginning. You need to piece it together yourself, this game is not going to hold hands.
Indeimaus. I watch your videos because they're funny, you're playing awesome games, and you seem to still have that joy for this kinda stuff. Turning Darkest Dungeon into a Waifu Collector, the hilarious edits when mods go wrong, making fun of Egg Boi (NorthernLion) and ZeroLenny, along with the outstanding musical choices... these are the kinds of things that keep me showing up at least. It is true blasphemy to imply that I or any others would only watch you because you sound like Discount VaatiVidya.
I may be late to the party but here some knowledge. Exposito, or Esposito in italian, means "to be exposed". I was an old tradition, in Naples, to expose orphans to public squares so that they could be adopted. Those that did not find a family got the surname Esposito that meant there were without any family. I can't say if this thing happened in other city or country, but here in south Italy and Naples Esposito is a very common surname.
Christ... this game is so metal that when I see a crew setting up I-beam supports now I’ll say, “yeah that’s certainly going to support the building, but if you really want a metal support structure that’s made from a better metal than steel, you should just install Blasphemous.”
for whats its worth, as an Aussie. Your voice sounds great, there's no gimmick, no HEEEEEEYYYY GUUYYYYs smash that liek button bullshit.

Not only is the art phenomenal but the sprite movements look sooooo good too
I can't believe you only showed like 2 seconds of the flying baby in the bull carcass, what a power move.
Loved this game, just as you said the sprite work is just beautiful for just how brutal the game makes everything look. You certainly did a lot better than I did on my play through as well because fuuuck did I have troubles with that first boss.

Indeimaus. I watch your videos because they're funny, you're playing awesome games, and you seem to still have that joy for this kinda stuff. Turning Darkest Dungeon into a Waifu Collector, the hilarious edits when mods go wrong, making fun of Egg Boi (NorthernLion) and ZeroLenny, along with the outstanding musical choices... these are the kinds of things that keep me showing up at least. It is true blasphemy to imply that I or any others would only watch you because you sound like Discount VaatiVidya.

Fun fact, this game is inspired on the spanish religious traditions. More in the andalusian comunity traditions.
the voice and the commenting are like 50% of the Style of this Channel don't change it(the Other 50% are in the montage) :)
I may be late to the party but here some knowledge. Exposito, or Esposito in italian, means "to be exposed". I was an old tradition, in Naples, to expose orphans to public squares so that they could be adopted. Those that did not find a family got the surname Esposito that meant there were without any family. I can't say if this thing happened in other city or country, but here in south Italy and Naples Esposito is a very common surname.

Christ... this game is so metal that when I see a crew setting up I-beam supports now I’ll say, “yeah that’s certainly going to support the building, but if you really want a metal support structure that’s made from
a better metal than steel, you should just install Blasphemous.”
"the second boss of dark souls 2, the tree man" you lost 10 points indeimous your not the soulstyran anymore
It's dark souls 2,....if it had been about 1 or 3 yeah im with you but 2 shouldve been aborted and forgot about anyway
@@aboveu0001 I disagree, but the point is, there is no "second boss tree man" in dark souls 2
for me your voice is maybe 50% of what I like. Rest is the good stuff you cover and your attitude
Man... Esdras was such a pain in the ass. And when the sister got involve there's just too many things going on in the screen.
for whats its worth, as an Aussie. Your voice sounds great, there's no gimmick, no HEEEEEEYYYY GUUYYYYs smash that liek button bullshit.
As the first video of yours I've seen I found this super easy to watch dude. It was liek beeing in my own discord watching one of my mate's play. Keep it up dude sounds great.

That moment when he says that it's been a good year (2019), and you are watching this video in 2020 and this game basically represents 2020.
