Infernax is an 8-bit 2D Metroidvania with platforming elements and dark themes that feed into a morality system. The retro graphics and music remind me of Shovel Knight, except Infernax is the opposite of wholesome. There’s a lot of blood and creatively disturbing imagery, but the uniquely upsetting aspect of this game is its sidequests, which force you to make distinctly unpleasant choices.

Infernax delights in violence for the sake of violence. It’s not that deep, but it’s quite fun. Even as they’ve created a dungeon whose theme is literally “piles of dead babies,” the developers are sensitive to the needs of a diversity of players and allow you to customize the difficulty level to suit your preferences. In addition, there are multiple guides online that will help you unlock all the various silly bonuses the game has to offer, from letting you run around with a machine gun to giving you free rein to drive around on a motorcycle.
If you’re bad at games like I am, Infernax takes about ten to fifteen hours to finish without cheat codes. If you’re good at games – or if you use cheat codes – it might take about five hours to finish, which makes the prospect of exploring multiple morality paths more intriguing. Overall, I spent about twenty hours in ultraviolent medieval zombie demon hell, and I regret nothing.
