Blighted

[paul]

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! Harness the power of the deadly, reality-altering Blight and unravel the world’s mysteries.

In the past, the dead were buried with seeds planted in their brains. These seeds would grow into trees, surrounding the player’s village. The fruit from these trees was special, it contained the memories of the dead. Knowledge and traditions were passed along through this fruit for generations.

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

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

Explore a world full of mystery in this psychedelic western nightmare. Learn to harness your Blight, which serves as both a source of power and added difficulty, challenging players of all skill levels and gating some of the world’s deepest secrets. Play through the entire campaign alone or with a friend in cooperative play.
