While the game never actually directly spells out its use of Christianity as the backdrop, it’s clearly keyed into the fact that the blood-obsessed nature of the religion makes perfect fodder for horror. This is Dante’s Inferno come to Earth and somehow more bizarre and fever-pitched. It’s hard to take the over-the-top grimdark gore and story seriously when the first boss battle (moments into the game) ends with our hero taking off his bizarre conehead helmet to fill it with the blood of his fallen enemy before sloshing the damn thing back onto his head. The land is overrun with monsters, people are dying, statues are talking, and this angry cone-headed guy is out for blood. Honestly, the story is so batshit crazy that it’s hard to say what’s going on. The story of the Penitent One, a knight of the church, on a quest for vengeance or… well, something.
