Infernal is a third-person action video game for Microsoft Windows, produced by Polish developer Metropolis Software and published by Playlogic Entertainment and Eidos Interactive in 2007. A console port, Infernal: Hell's Vengeance, was released on 30 June 2009 for Xbox 360.[1]

Infernal is a modern-style third-person shooter with major first-person shooter influences. Players control protagonist Ryan Lennox, a former angel turned dark by unfortunate circumstances who has access to a number of unique demonic powers, including pyrokinesis, teleportation and the ability to feed on the souls of fallen enemies.

Reception

Infernal received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2]

Most of the reviews state that the game lacked polish and called it last generation compared to current third-person shooters of the time such as Gears of War and Resident Evil 4. On the other hand, some reviews said it had good graphics and called it "mindless fun".
