Inspired by the book "Inferno", which is the first book of Dante Aligheri's epic poem " The Divine Comedy" The game takes you on nightmarish journey into the nine circles of hell to save the soul of his beloved Beatrice from Lucifer, who needs to marry a heaven-bound soul to be able to break free from his prison and make another attempt to overthrow God. Dante's quest takes you through many monstrous & demonic enemies within the nine circles of Hell to save Beatrice, along the way, Dante must face his own sins, His family's past, and his war crimes.
Dante's Inferno is a fast paced Action-Adventure game where the player will be heavily engaged in combat, platforming, and solving many different environment-based puzzles. Dante's primary weapon is Death's Scythe that he can use for a series of combo attacks and finishing moves. Dante's secondary weapon is his Holy Cross that he can use to fire energy attacks with. Along with Death's Scythe & the Holy Cross, Dante can use numerous magic based attacks and abilities which are channeled from his mana pool to aid him in combat, many of which can be obtained as the game progresses.
Another form of combat available to Dante is the ability to tame and ride Demonic beasts, (he can begin to tame & control the beast after he has killed it's original rider), which he can use to remove obstacles and to perform devastating attacks. In order to remove the beast's rider, the player must go through an event system to discharge the demon of it's master, where the player must press the highlighted button in order to continuously perform a chain of attacks, or it will be countered and Dante will be wounded.
Many of Dante's attack combos and abilities can be purchased in exchange for souls, which you obtain by defeating enemies or by locating soul fountains, and falls into two categories, Holy( blue orbs) and Unholy (red orbs) in Dante's skill tree. In the beginning,Both skill trees are at equal power, but as Dante gains more experience more Holy and Unholy skill become available for you to purchase. The player can obtain these skills by either punishing or absolving your defeated enemy. Besides these features, there is plenty of swinging, climbing and puzzles which will challenge you as well as numerous biblical relics hidden in passages that can be equipped and used certain abilities.
The game does have a lot of blood, gore AND some nudity which would not be suitable for younger players, But it is a good game and a nice adaptation of the epic novel. The game has received many favorable reviews and is well worth a look if you're into action-adventure games.
