What players say
Infernax feels like a love letter to the classic 8 bit and 16 bit era. The game is strongly influenced by Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, from its exploration and side scrolling combat to its dark atmosphere, towns, NPCs and secrets. It also contains some great hommages to other classics, including Contra, Lifeforce and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. What makes Infernax especially fun is that it can be played in...
Did you love Castlevania Simon's Quest and have always been disappointed that there never was another adventure like that? Well look no further, because Infernax is here to quell that thirst. It is a retro game that just does everything right. Also, it is mocking you for knowing too much about the franchise every chance it gets. I haven't had such a blast from the past in a long time. A loveletter to an era long...
Great art style and aesthetic, but the difficulty and the penalty for dying ruin the fun for me. Having to replay long sections over and over again turns the game into a test of patience, especially if you just want to have a good time playing coop.
