We Love It's Guide to…

Infernax

Duke Alcedor returns to his homeland after a crusade to find it plagued by unholy magic and monsters. As he confronts the forces behind the corruption, his decisions can lead him toward helping the people or harming them. Explore a side-scrolling world of towns, secret areas, and castle dungeons. Fight monsters and bosses, navigate hazards, and use skills and spells to overcome obstacles and reach new areas. A day-and-night cycle changes which enemies and events appear. Defeated enemies provide experience and money: spend experience to improve attributes and coins on weapons, armor, spells, and other supplies. Choices and side quests affect available routes and endings. Play alone, in local co-op with Cervul, or control both characters by switching between them.

A knight returns to a cursed homeland, battling through side-scrolling dungeons while choices shape quests and endings.

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!
