    Total nostalgia trip with a tongue in cheek twist, brings CastleVania 2 Simon's Quest vibes but so much better.

    Recommended for fans of older Castlavania games. This is better Simon's Quest in my opinion.

    Maybe I'm too harsh with this.
    But this game it isn't so enjoyable for me at all

    I´m biased with this one, but that´s because I loved the original Castlevania and always felt Simon´s Quest was a flawed great game for its time, this took heavy inspiration from it and not only fixed its faults but did contribute with a lot of other stuff making the game more diverse dynamic and replayable, if you like a good oldschool challenge that doesn´t rests on its laurels give thisI´m biased with this one, but that´s because I loved the original Castlevania and always felt Simon´s Quest was a flawed great game for its time, this took heavy inspiration from it and not only fixed its faults but did contribute with a lot of other stuff making the game more diverse dynamic and replayable, if you like a good oldschool challenge that doesn´t rests on its laurels give this a try.… Expand

    Infernax è esattamente quello che ti aspetti guardandolo per la prima volta. Gioco retrò, stimolante e con una grafica e un gameplay semplistici a 8 bit. Ogni scelta apre strade diverse che portano a finali diversi. La grafica retrò è molto completata anche dal lavoro audio retrò, completo di una solida colonna sonora dell’era NES, effetti sonori e scene tagliate simili a presentazioni.

    Infernax brings an interesting system of choices in a retro game, giving a certain freedom to the player, something that was not so common in the 8-bit era. The gameplay is quite primitive and there hasn't been too much effort to bring more modern elements to it. Thus, it is difficult to recommend Infernax to players who cannot tolerate the gameplay and aesthetics typical of the era it simulates. If that's not your case, Infernax is worth checking out. It's a nostalgic, fun game, with considerable content and with good surprises in store.

    A gory affair, there’s a hell of a lot to like about Infernax. The tried-and-tested gameplay sits alongside purposefully dated but nonetheless charming visuals, but the freedom you have really sets this apart from other games in the genre. Will you save the world or be a blight on it? That’s up to you. And while you may always have good intentions, sometimes your decision can have unexpected results. In any case, you’ll have a lot of fun slaying monsters and developing Alcedor as you play.

    Even though it was initially difficult and with very basic combat, Infernax wooed me with its comical gore, beautiful music and simple art style. Infernax will not be everyone's cup of tea but if you have a bit of time and want to play something a little different, I can recommend it. Just beware, you initially may need to navigate a bit of a skill wall of sorts to progress.
