    Pixel art and music is tops. 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 beforePixel art and music is tops. 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.… Expand

    Not bad this little game.
    I just deplore some platforming sections are harder than boss battles.

    If you love NES games and can handle a LOT of gore (seriously, it's rated M for a reason), Infernax is an unforgettable nostalgic experience. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 20]

    There's some very good old school gameplay in Infernax, something that doesn't want to just pander us with nostalgia, but to entertain and engage with challenges and simple yet well-thought game design.

    Infernax is a truly retro experience that takes the best elements of the past to create a fun time in the present. It’s tough but fair and a blast to play. Highly recommended for fans of action-adventure platformers like Castlevania.
