Boss Battles · Fantasy · Horror

Dante's journey through Hell is a brutal, operatic take on the hack-and-slash formula. Its core is a simple, satisfying combat loop: dispatching hordes of demonic fiends with a scythe and a holy cross, punctuated by gruesome finishing moves. The game's depiction of the nine circles, from Limbo to Treachery, remains its most striking quality, a relentless descent through grotesque, unforgettable landscapes that stick with you long after the credits roll.

About Dante's Inferno

View Game Details
Dante's Inferno is an epic single player, third-person action adventure game inspired by "Inferno", part one of Dante Alighieri's classic Italian poem, "The Divine Comedy." Featuring nonstop action rendered at 60 frames-per-second, signature and upgradable weapons, attack combos and mana-fueled spells and the choice of punishing or absolving the souls of defeated enemies, it is a classic Medieval tale of the eternal conflict with sin and the resulting horrors of hell, adapted for a new generation and a new medium.
