About Infernax
✦ AI summary
Infernax is a pixel art action RPG where you battle through a cursed realm as a knight, making meaningful decisions that shape the story's ending while leveling up and collecting gear to face increasingly brutal bosses. Your choices matter—from whether you help or harm NPCs to how you spend your hard-earned skills points—creating a unique experience across multiple playthroughs with solo or co-op gameplay options.
● Multi-endings based on player's decisions.
● Challenging castle-dungeons and lots of boss battles.
● Ruthless bloodthirsty monsters that want you super duper dead.
● Level up system to tailor your experience to your liking.
● Buy new items and unlock skills to help you in your quest of reversing the curse.
● A dangerous and unique open world with many secret areas to uncover.
● Play with friends, or by yourself with the addition of a support character, Cervul the squire.
● Pucker up buttercup because it's about to get gory.
Infernax is the adventures of a great knight who returns to his homeland only to find it plagued with unholy magic.
While on your quest to find and destroy the source of this corruption by any means necessary, you will face ruthless creatures, dangerous beasts, and precarious terrains.
Every decision you make is crucial, would you rather:
● slay or help someone?
● use your experience gained from slashing monsters to get more life, mana or damage?
Think well before deciding on what to do my friend. A single choice can change the game; remember that thing you did to that guy? Farmer Pepper remembers.
Smash as many monsters as you can to get some money, spend your savings to buy better weapons and armors from the blacksmith, gear up and get stronger for this journey of smashing even more faces!
Every choice you make open up different side quests to obtain powerful weapons and skills or money
Storm the Castle and slay their bosses before more innocent fall to the mysterious curse that plagues your land. In the end, only you can rid the land of Upel of these monsters, whichever way you decide to do it; you do you, dude...
● DEUX OR DIE UPDATE
Return to the lands of Upel as the Duke Alcedor, this time joined by your trusty squire Cervul as you attempt to regain control from the forces that plague your duchy. The new mode is playable as a standard 2-player local co-op or as one player hot-swap mode that allows a single person to control both characters by switching on the fly.
Use Cervul's various tools to bring victory, or ruin, to the land and the people that inhabit it in this newly rebalanced version of the game!

A pretty solid Metroidvania with good gameplay, pixel art, and multiple endings. Play as a Duke Alcedor, a knight returning to his homeland after a crusade, only to find his home infested with unholy magic, monsters, and demons. Smash your way through hordes of demons and the undead, working your way to five castle-style dungeons to defeat the creatures living inside in order to open up a church to fight the demon leading it all. Gameplay is standard side-scrolling 2D action platforming, but solidly done. Killing enemies drops coin for you to spend on weapon / armour upgrades, spells, potions, additional potion bottles, and hearts that act as additional lives. Red potions can be grabbed for free from any innkeeper, but mana potions will cost you, elixirs needing to be bought from a specialty shop in the mountains. Experience you get can be put towards your weapon power or an additional health / mana slot. Shrines act as save points and upgrade stations, refilling your health, mana, and lives when touched. Skills can be found as you explore castle dungeons, giving you the ability to smash down into the ground, launch yourself upwards into the air, or charge yourself up to leap…2 found this helpful
Crazy game, had tons of fun with it. Did the normal good, ultimate evil and a few funny endings. There's still so much more to this game. First time I played on normal, it's punishing but not evil. After that I played casual so I could power through to get the other endings. The game itself isn't so long, it feels just right. Controls are crisps, music is really great. A hard recommend.1 found this helpful
Extremely fun. Enemies hit hard and does dmg so its quite punishing to get hit. Youre only ever really "safe" until you have most upgrades. Only played through once so far and got a good ending. Controls are snappy and responsive. [spoiler]Played a bit on two other saves with the Halloween unlock Stranger (Jason lookalike) and another playthrough where i tried doing evil things but i think i broke one of the events somehow by messing with the order of other events somehow. Anyways it was early so Its not too punishing to start over that 2nd playthrough. Just lost 2h at most of progress... maybe, its unclear from what ive been able to google if ive broken this save or not. [/spoiler] I grew up with the NES, SNES and Sega. This feels like a polished and advanced game from that time. Highely recommended really. Got it on the summer sale. Well worth the money IMO.
Great game if you have fond memories of Simon's Quest on the NES.
Most of your time spent in this game is dying and retrying runs because of getting one-shot by pitfalls. I know that this idea was in old NES games, but it was bad design there too. It's why from Blasphemous 1 to Blasphemous 2, they took it all out and even made an achievement acknowledging how annoying that is, barely any metroidvanias in the current decade has death pitfalls. I wish I could give this game a half recommend, because other than that, this game is really good, but I am too annoyed with the one hit kills from pitfalls littered EVERYWHERE in later dungeons I can't fully recommend this.
so good
