Evaluation

Blightspire launched on June 2, 2025 as a playable game with all of its intended features. The developer then released two patches: v1.1 on June 16, 2025, which fixed crashes and bugs and added achievements, a V-Sync toggle, and an FOV slider, and v1.2 on June 19, 2025, which improved enemy AI and added volumetric fog. In the v1.2 announcement, the developer stated that this would be the final update the team would release for Blightspire. The launch announcement had planned a couple of further updates and an end to support on June 27, 2025, but the later final-update statement supersedes that plan. The store description presents the game as a complete wave-based survival shooter. The game's content is complete, and its last update shipped on June 19, 2025.

About this game

Blightspire is a fast-paced, wave-based survival shooter. Battle through a cursed graveyard as undead abominations rise in endless waves. With only your reflexes and firepower, survive the darkness in a world where death is never the end.

In a plague-stricken 17th-century, you’re a thief drawn to rumors of treasure buried in a cursed cemetery. As you rob the graves, the dead rise to defend what’s theirs. Fighting to survive, you uncover a demonic presence seeping from an ancient church altar, its influence twisting the dead and spreading corruption. Now, it’s not just about gold... it’s about stopping hell from breaking loose.

Survive relentless waves of the undead as the Black Death twists the once-living into monstrous horrors.

  • Dodge, dash, and leap through plague-ridden graveyards to avoid the infected swarms

  • Use your trusty revolver to blast through the twisted remains of humanity

  • Stay alive, and uncover the dark forces fueling the nightmare

The deeper you go, the stranger it gets.

  • Loot the fallen dead to fund powerful relics from a demonic source

  • Absorb their lingering souls to restore your health and keep fighting

Take advantage of the demonic presence in the graveyard and use the unholy relics to your advantage.
