Blasphemous Now Available on Android for Gamers

Organized religion can sometimes take on a creepy vibe, much like the eerie aura of a horror movie featuring a haunting nun. Yet, *Blasphemous* from The Game Kitchen transcends this with its deeply atmospheric gothic setting, intense side-scrolling combat, and punishing difficulty. And yes, it's now available on Android!

Step into the shoes of The Penitent One, an armored warrior on a quest to liberate the island of Cvstodia from the sinister grasp of a curse known as The Miracle. Battle through hordes of monsters and twisted abominations, drawing inspiration from a blend of dark religious themes and Spanish folklore. Your mission is to free the inhabitants from this curse, all while enduring countless deaths along the way.

*Blasphemous* comes to mobile with a fully redesigned UI and intuitive controls tailored for smartphones, along with support for Bluetooth gamepads for those who prefer the precision of traditional gaming. Plus, the mobile version includes all the DLCs right out of the box – a true blessing for fans.

If you're an iOS user, you'll have to wait a bit longer, as *Blasphemous* is slated for release in late February 2025. But with the game receiving high praise from both players and critics, the wait is likely to be well worth it.

Personally, I've found mobile platformers to be a mixed bag. Touchscreens can sometimes struggle with the precision required for platforming, as I experienced with the classic Metroidvania, *Castlevania: Symphony of the Night*.
