Infernal's flash and style are overshadowed by a lack luster single-player campaign with little replayability.
You play as Ryan Lennox, a fallen-angel that was booted out of heaven. Spending time at a bar, Lennox' good time is spoiled when a rather large group of troops attack him. With no where else to turn, Lennox places his faith into Hell's corporation for some vengeance. In return, he is given Infernal powers, that allow him to teleport, levitate objects, fire magical blasts, as well as the ability to see the invisible.
The original plot although is certainly a good one, is not explained thoroughly. To worsen matters, the combat can often become tedious. Storming into a room, killing the same enemies and then consuming their souls to gain ammunition, health and mana are the extent of action. It's not terrible by any stretch, but rinse and repeat method is a strong quality.
As you progress through the short length story, the enemies get tougher,and there are boss fights that follow. In short, it's a disappointing campaign that is made more-so by the obvious potential that was never met. The graphics in the end, are the games strongest point. Vivid, slick and glossy, the pretty visuals are impressive indeed. There is also some advanced physics that can be seen by knocked over objects.
In definition, Infernal is not a bad game. The games pretty visuals are cool storyline make it a memorable game to behold. However, the shady combat, highly un-replayable single-player campaign, and lack of multiplayer seriously damages what could have been a great game.
