About Infernax

In Infernax, a great knight goes back to his home country only to find that it is full of evil magic. You will have to face ruthless creatures, dangerous beasts, and dangerous terrains on your quest to find and destroy the source of this corruption.

Every choice you make is important. Which would you choose:

Kill someone or help them?
Use the experience you get from slashing monsters to get more life, mana, or damage.

Before you decide what to do, my friend, give it a lot of thought. One decision can change the whole game. Do you remember what you did to that guy? Farmer Pepper remembers. Smash as many monsters as you can to earn money. Use that money to buy better weapons and armor from the blacksmith, get stronger, and get ready to smash even more monsters’ faces!

Depending on what you choose, you can go on different side quests to get powerful weapons, new skills, or cash. Storm the Castle and kill their bosses before more innocent people die from the mysterious curse that is plaguing your land. In the end, you are the only one who can get rid of these monsters in Upel. You can do it however you want, dude.
