About Blighted
Blighted is an action RPG from Drinkbox Studios, the team behind Guacamelee! Released in 2026 for PC, it blends psychedelic visuals with western themes to create a twisted, reality-bending world. Set in a desert plagued by the Blight, a power that warps the environment, you play as a lone hero seeking to restore your people’s memories. The game supports single-player, co-op, and split-screen multiplayer, making it a hybrid of solo and shared experiences. With its vibrant art style and fast-paced combat, it’s a chaotic journey where reality shifts as you fight through enemies and figure out lore.
Gameplay
Combat revolves around the Blight, a mechanic that lets you alter terrain, summon creatures, and distort enemy weaknesses. Battles are dynamic, requiring quick reflexes and creative use of your abilities. Each session mixes platforming, shooting, and strategy as you navigate shifting landscapes. Co-op play adds layers, with partners combining Blight effects for unique synergies. Controls are responsive, with a focus on fluid movement and quick skill-switching. Missions often involve clearing hordes of enemies, solving environmental puzzles, and battling bosses. The split-screen mode keeps the action tight, though the chaotic visuals can feel overwhelming during intense fights.
What Players Think
On PlayPile, 72% of players rate Blighted as a 7.5/10, with 35% completing its 15-hour story. Average playtime is 22 hours, though many stop early due to repetitive combat. Community moods lean mixed: 42% call it “fun but forgettable,” while 28% praise its co-op. Critics gave it a 78/100, calling it “a stylish but shallow RPG.” A Reddit user wrote, “Blighted’s co-op shines, but the story feels rushed.” The game’s 50 achievements are mostly combat-based, with 68% of players earning 70%+ of them. Its price tag of $29.99 makes it a low-risk pick for fans of action RPGs.
PlayPile's Take
Blighted is a colorful but inconsistent experience best suited for co-op enthusiasts. While its Blight system offers creative moments, the lack of depth in storytelling and repetitive encounters let it down. At under $30, it’s a solid pick if you’ve played Guacamelee and crave more chaotic western action. Skip it if you prefer deep RPGs or solo campaigns. The 50 achievements and split-screen mode add value for multiplayer fans, but don’t expect a masterpiece.
