Dante’s Inferno may be based on Dante Alighieri’s classic, “The Divine Comedy,” but not surprisingly, it has little to do with the actual story. Essentially, they focus on one aspect of the novel, which is the fact that Dante initially enters Hell in order to save his beloved, Beatrice, but in the book, he also moves forward through Purgatory and Heaven, learning great lessons along the way.
In the 600-year-old story, there is never a single battle of any kind and Dante never holds a weapon…but that doesn’t make for a fun video game, right? Here, you still have the Nine Circles of Hell to negotiate but there are plenty of freakish nasties blocking your progress, and Dante has his bad-ass Scythe and even a long-range Cross attack.
You kill them all, absorbing their souls and then using those acquired souls to purchase new abilities and skills, which of course sounds a lot like God of War or most any other straight-up, hack ‘n slash title. It works very well and it’s plenty of fun, but it’s far from perfect.
