    This game is pretty good and a nice nod to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. It can be very challenging in places, the music is good and it can be very gory and have explicit imagery.

    I had a great time playing this title, but the only gripe I have with it, it that it isn;t a long game and the game world is pretty small, hence the 8 rating. I managed to 100% the game in a couple of days,    This game is pretty good and a nice nod to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

    I had a great time playing this title, but the only gripe I have with it, it that it isn;t a long game and the game world is pretty small, hence the 8 rating. I managed to 100% the game in a couple of days, but I had a blast playing it. multiple times to get everything in the game. It plays like any Metroidvania with a lot of side quests to complete, earming money for spells, weapons and armour and also earning EXP to upgrade health, strength and magic points.

    If you're a fan of old school Castlevania, Shovel Knight, Zelda II, etc then this game is definitely for you.

    Hopefully, if The Arcade Crew make a sequel in the future, I hope it's much larger in scale.    … Expand

    If you can’t get enough of retro throwback platformers, love violent dark fantasy, or think that Holy Diver had the coolest album cover ever (you’re right) you owe it to yourself to buy a copy of Infernax.

    Infernax it’s a fun metroidvania, with a very classic feel to it, but which falls flat in terms of complexity. Yet, i would recommend playing it on Game Pass.

    Infernax just oozes class and style, there's a good deal of the likes of Blasphemous in how it carries itself in combat, with satisfyingly tight controls and a real heft given to your attacks through some delightfully detailed death animations. Its seemingly simple old school trappings belie a surprising amount of depth and longevity too, with multiple endings based on decisions made during your playthrough, some superb - and properly challenging - castle dungeons, and plenty of choice in where you decide to wander off to next. This really is one of our favourite old-school indie titles to hit Game Pass in the last few months and we urge retro fans to nab it at the earliest possible opportunity, as it's a super-satisfying love letter to the glory days of Castlevania and an excellent and addictive little game in its own right.
