- Overall, Infernax is a truly retro experience that takes the best elements of the past to create a fun time in the present. This tough but fair game is a blast to play, and I highly recommend it for fans of action-adventure platformers like Castlevania.
Jemma Casson · Feb 28, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Infernax is a can’t-miss game. I had never heard of it, but as soon as I booted it up it immediately shot to the top of my favorite games of the year. Do not sleep on this title. There is so much to love and it even has a unique mode that unlocks when entering the Konami code. Yeah it leans way into nostalgia, but it does it right. This game looks and feels great and is easily one title that will set the bar going forward.
Ken McKown · Feb 25, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - I have two save files going and I’m about to start a third to see if I can be a real evil character, because I bet that’s going to be fun. If you were enthralled by the NES as a younger person, this is where you can recapture that magic. This is the game I wish I had played as a kid, because it sits perfectly with my memories of the games that inspired it. Don’t take my word for it: go see what NES games could have been like with better time and dedication. Berzerk Studios nailed it.
Oliver Shellding · Feb 20, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - On a final note, Infernax doesn’t take a hard stance on difficulty as it has a classic mode and a casual mode. It takes player choice to heart, and does all that is reasonable to accommodate player preference without butchering the experience. This is one game that deserves a place in your classics library.
Erickson Melchor · Feb 19, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.
PJ O'Reilly · Feb 19, 2022 Reviewed onRead full review - Infernax for me is a decent platformer that is aimed at the older market. They have added in a lot of adult references and gore to make sure you understand it is not for kids. There are some fun comical elements, wonderfully tough decisions with surprising outcomes and challenging bosses which will test your patience. I am glad games like this are still being made as there is still a lot of joy to be had with this formula.
Graham Cameron · Feb 18, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - From the moment you step onto these demon-infested lands to the moment you deal the killing blow to the game’s final boss, you’ll experience plenty of surprises – the Konami Code does something really cool, for example. Infernax’s retro soundtrack that rips from start to finish, beautiful art, challenging gameplay, and a fun Castlevania-inspired design, make it worth the price of admission.
Wesley LeBlanc · Feb 18, 2022 Reviewed on Switch - The story also comes with several choices along the way, allowing you to have Alcedor try to walk the righteous path or turn evil, and sometimes the law of unintended consequences makes what seems like the right choice lead to the bad outcome. It’s a dark, violent, bloody world that feels great to smash your way through, and while it might take some repetition to clear the harder areas Infernax is always worth the payoff.
James Cunningham · Feb 16, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - 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.
Richard Seagrave · Feb 15, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall, Infernax is a title I didn’t know about a week ago and has quickly sucked me in and become one of my top titles to play for 2022. It is available starting February 14, 2022. I highly recommend this for anyone who is into retro-style RPGs and platformers. Have fun and enjoy it as much as I have.
