Infernax

A brutal retro platformer with Metroidvania ambition, Infernax from Berzerk Studio mixes tight combat and high-stakes exploration into a pure skill test. Released on February 14, 2022, this indie Action RPG throws a cursed open world at a lone knight who must solo dungeons, learn boss patterns, and choose fates that branch into multiple endings. Precision jumps, shield timing, and spell management reward players who overcome demanding routes and optimize builds. It reads like platformer games like Celeste crossed with arcade intensity and action games like Devil May Cry, while its crunchy hits echo fighting games like Brawlhalla in how spacing and commitment matter. On gamepad or keyboard, inputs feel responsive for Windows and PlayStation 4 sessions. For those scanning platformer game recommendations, its challenge-first design, secrets-packed map, and risk-reward gold loss on death make every run a personal best chase, ideal for players who crave progression born from mastery rather than grind.
