    While Infernax has a lot of good ideas, the pacing struggles badly from having to replay segments and a lot of poorly designed mechanics (e.g., save system remembering to save my level-ups)

    While I played through on the classic difficult, I found the game to lack significant difficulty, instead relying on trying to grind you down through long tedious sections with backtracking.

    While I played through on the classic difficult, I found the game to lack significant difficulty, instead relying on trying to grind you down through long tedious sections with backtracking. Where single mistakes can set you back multiple minutes of progress.

    On the positive side, several of the bosses were excellently designed. So it isn't all bad. If I had to give the developer advice, I would say to increase the difficulty but make progress more sustained.    … Expand

    Infernax is the heir to Castlevania (the NES one) that I didn't know I craved, but it was almost impossible to break away from once I started playing! Equipped with an interesting storyline, highly enjoyable pixel art graphics and an electrifying soundtrack, Infernax gets completed over and over again to the rhythm of “Another game and that's it”, accompanying the player with an intelligent progression of pace and difficulty. Not really cheap for an indie game, but it's worth the price.

    Infernax is the result of combining Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Bloodborne. But, even when this sounds like fun, it gets boring quickly because of its dated mechanics.

    Infernax is a great retro-styled title that adds in enough ideas of its own to stand up to modern standards. The gory combat and interesting level design maintain interest throughout, and there is lots of potential for replayability through the different moral paths to unlock. If retro gaming is your thing, then Infernax is a great game to add to your collection.
