How co-op works
Local split-screen co-op adds a second player as a companion fighter who shares progress through the campaign, battles enemies alongside the primary knight, and participates in boss fights and exploration together.
About this game
Infernax drops you into the boots of a returning crusader who discovers his homeland twisted by dark magic and demonic corruption. This side-scrolling action-adventure pairs melee combat with a branching morality system that shapes the story, enemy encounters, and unlockable paths. Pixel-art visuals embrace retro violence, complete with gory executions and environmental traps that punish missteps.

Combat hinges on sword strikes, shields, and dodge rolls as you navigate interconnected zones packed with hidden alcoves, treasure, and upgrade shrines. Experience points and gold fuel improvements to health, mana, and damage output, while new spells and weapons expand your tactical toolkit. Boss encounters demand pattern memorization and careful resource use rather than aggressive button mashing.
Multiple endings and secret areas reward replays, and the local split-screen co-op mode brings a second fighter into the journey. Your moral choices echo through dialogue, quests, and the types of creatures stalking the land, ensuring each playthrough uncovers different outcomes and challenges.
