    If you miss classics like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest or The Adventure of Link, this is definitely a retro-style game you have to try [Recommended]

It takes the concept of the games and brings them to the present age in all a good way. Advances in plataforming controls, pixel sprites, OST, a true morality system with tons of alternatives and a good Bad ending which most games shy away from. If you like retro games but hoped they could be done in a modern way, Infernax is for you. Full Review »

Humorous gore and Easter eggs. One complaint: Parkour fails should result in life loss and resetting at point of failure. My patience is gone for all the easy parkour fails/traps in this game because the consequence is a full restart of the castle (unless you want to switch to casual mode, which requires you to lose all of your hard earned lives before enabling). If a parkour fail resulted in a loss of life and resetting at the point of failure to retry, this would be A+. As it is, parkour fails just feel needlessly frustrating and punitive. The enemy difficulty is great with some fun boss patterns and design, but the parkour fails hurt my enjoyment of this game. Not sure I’ll finish it. I’m fully leveled up and on my 4th castle. It’s enough. Full Review »
