If you told me this was an early SNES game I would absolutely believe you, so convincing is Infernax’s tribute to old 16-bit vanias. You are a brave knight slashing your way through a deadly castle, collecting weapons and hopping from platform to platform like it’s 1992 and you just found a new title at Blockbuster to rent before realizing that this game is punishingly difficult and you’ll need to drop far more hours into it than the ones available in just a single weekend. There’s nothing particularly new or innovative here — at least not as far as the promotional materials or early response from testers have indicated. It’s all just finely-done nostalgia for a bygone style. (So why is it a 500 meg download? Oh well.)
Release date: February 14.
