all this becomes insufficient, use your supernatural infernal
powers. Ryan Lennox turns into a ghost, feeds himself with
defeated souls and every weapon in his hands becomes truly
devilish...
Unique atmosphere, unbelievable graphics, great amount of
possibilities combined with simple intuitive steering, and a
hero never seen before - this constitutes the essence of
"Infernal".
