I will also add that if you're the type of person who is squeamish about over-the-top gore, maybe skip this one, because this game is very intense right from the first minute of gameplay.
If you can stomach it, Infernax is well worth playing and might be one of my new favorite Metroidvanias.

Infernax is a stellar second console showing for Berzerk Studio after Just Shapes & Beats, putting together the best elements of various old-school Metroidvanias and layering on a novel morality system that makes it stand apart from its contemporaries. Berzerk just does not miss.

Had to try reading this 3 times to get it.
So rather than intent, or accessibility of the game, experience etc, they're arguing not recreating hardware demos is fascist?
The oddest part to me is these aren't replacing or pretending to be older games. Infernax & Castlevania, Zelda 2 coexist....?

The team behind Just Shapes & Beats & Infernax debuted their new game, "Maximum Thunderness". It's Castle Crashers with guns, as you stop aliens from selling space cigarettes to kids. It's absurd, fun as hell, and has Saturday Morning Cartoon vibes @berzerkstudio.bsky.social youtu.be/7N7axcalBxQ

... code and play this not-Castlevania as a not-Contra character 😁
Tldr; Infernax is super dope!
Don't sleep on it like I did. There's some more meat on here then it's humble Indievania look lets on.
Big recommend if you like this style of game 👍

Beat Infernax today. But I got what was clearly a "bad" ending.
Technically it was the Good Ending.
But I couldn't figure out what to do to, you know, activate the Upside Down Castle or whatever 😝
So I looked it up and MAN!!
Infernax is a much bigger game then you'd think at first blush!

Good Morning Kings, Queens and all of the In-Betweens and happy Thursday!
Today should be a musical day in the gaming scene, so if you're not jamming out to your game soundtracks, do so or I'll eat you. If you are, share a track you're listening to with us. As for me:

I think I overslept on Infernax.
It's gimmicks of moral choices and over the top gore loomed so large in MY mind from its reception that I underestimated just how good it is at it's OTHER main gimmick of;
What if Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest, specifically, was really good? 😆
This is a great CV.
