About This Game

Battle your way through a psychedelic western nightmare to reclaim the memories of your people in Blighted, a Metroidvania action RPG from the creators of Guacamelee! and Nobody Saves the World. Harness the power of the deadly, reality-altering Blight and unravel the mysteries of a twisted world.

In the past, the dead were buried with seeds planted in their brains. These seeds would grow into trees bearing fruit imbued with memories. Knowledge was passed down through the fruit of memory trees for generations.

This continued until the one called Sorcisto defiled the ritual. By eating brains raw, Sorcisto gained vast power and knowledge. He consumed the player’s entire village, destroyed its forest of memory trees, and infected the world with a deadly Blight.

You are the lone survivor of Sorcisto’s rampage, fighting to reclaim the memories of your people, before your own Blight overtakes you.

Learn to harness your Blight, which serves as a source of both power and danger, challenging players of all skill levels and gating some of the world’s deepest secrets.

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.
