Battle through a psychedelic Western nightmare to reclaim the memories of your people in Blighted, a Metroidvania action RPG featuring intense combat and a twisted, mysterious world.
The abomination known as Sorcisto consumed your village and infected the world with a deadly Blight. As the lone survivor of his rampage, you must fight through surreal environments to defeat monstrous bosses and recover the memories of your people, before your own Blight overtakes you.
Learn to harness your Blight, which can serve as a source of both power and danger, challenging players of all skill levels. Play solo or with a friend in local or online co-op, and uncover the secrets of a corrupted world.
GAME FEATURES:
Intense, Technical Combat: Combat in Blighted is methodical, nuanced and deadly. Carefully time your attacks to weave through enemies, chain together combos, exploit openings and set up powerful finishers.
Surreal, Interconnected World: Explore a vibrant, psychedelic landscape filled with secrets. Meet bizarre characters as you uncover the way forward.
Challenging Boss Encounters: Confront the monstrous, blighted creatures who have come to rule these lands. Absorb their memories to become more powerful.
Harness your Blight: The player’s Blight serves as a dynamic difficulty system that enhances their abilities while also changing the enemies and world around them.
Co-op Multiplayer: Optionally team up with a friend in fully playable local or online co-op.
Haunting Original Score: Blighted features a new soundtrack by Jim Guthrie, whose previous work includes Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Below, and Nobody Saves the World.
