One of the first things you will notice is that there really is no precision aim. Kind of like the second level was initially the first, but the devs decided to add in a new intro and forgot to move over the tutorial. This is puzzling considering once you complete the opening level the game begins to give you hints on how to play. ![]() Bullets begin flying and you are forced to figure out the controls on your own. The game wastes no time tossing you into the action. As long as you don’t take it seriously, it can be compelling. The story continues down the path of B-movie caliber and flips back and forth between confusing and entertaining (in a cheesy way) through pretty much the entire game. This begins the opening level of the game, where tutorials would normally subside. You see being one of the greatest assassins in Heaven, makes you a large target when you don’t work there anymore. This is where the story begins to take a turn for the worse as he quickly discovers that his date is actually there to kill him. You see Lennox was an assassin for Etherlight, which is just another way of saying he was God’s hit man. ![]() The game begins in a bar as protagonist Ryan Lennox is explaining to the woman across the table about how he is enjoying life outside of working for the higher powers. OK to be fair I am getting a bit ahead of myself, not all is bad with Infernal, but it does do a lot of things that keep it from being the hidden gem it could have been. Nothing came together smoothly, the game suffers from some of the biggest design mistakes you can concoct, and it really wasn’t much fun. Once I finally sat down with Ryan Lennox and his journey from Etherlight assassin to working for the man down under, I began to realize that sometime was wrong. The story sounded original, it was from a small team so they might be focused on solid gameplay as opposed to flashy substance, and all of the screenshots made it look like a mindless, but fun third-person shooter. I’ll be the first one to admit, when I first heard about Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance I was intrigued.
