'Blighted' Is A Metroidvania Action/RPG From the Guacamelee! Developers, Coming To PC - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 8, 2025 @ 1:25 a.m. PDT

Blighted is a Metroidvania Action/RPG set in a psychedelic western nightmare.

Battle your way through a psychedelic western nightmare to reclaim the memories of your people in Blighted, a 3D 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.


Key Features:

  • Intense combat: combat in Blighted is nuanced and deadly. Carefully time your attacks to weave through enemies, chain together combos, and perform powerful finishers.
  • Harness your Blight: the player’s Blight serves as a dynamic difficulty system that constantly changes the enemies, the player, and the world around them
  • Consume memories: absorb the brains of defeated bosses to gain their memories and become more powerful (and Blighted), widening your skillset and opening up new paths.
  • Unlock mysteries: pay careful attention while exploring to unlock the many deep secrets of Blighted’s world.
  • Surreal characters & environments: explore vibrant, psychedelic landscapes and meet bizarre creatures on your journey.
  • Co-op multiplayer: play through the adventure with a friend via drop-in/drop-out co-op multiplayer.
  • Haunting original score: Blighted features new music by Jim Guthrie, the acclaimed composer of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Below, and Nobody Saves the World.

Blighted is coming to PC (Steam).
