I never got to play this game and it always bothered me, because this looks so damn gooood. The whole setting and the vibe. This would be an instant buy for me.

This dark and stylish "God of War" clone was developed by Visceral Games, the team behind the "Dead Space" games. Based on the ancient medieval italian poem, the game's cinematic visuals are striking. While "Dante's Inferno" is a hack 'n slash game with light puzzles and platforming, it has hellish and outlandish environments out of a horror game. It also has flashy combat that is fast and fluid. While not on the level of "Dead Space", "Dante's Inferno" should please hack 'n slash and beat 'em all fans. It deserves to be included and preserved by GOG in their digital storefront.

Fighting and killing the grim reaper with his own reaper was a satisfying boss fight. I play this at my mate's system. So I did not get to finish the rest of the game.
The setting, the themes, the sound, the combat. Seriously, what's not to love about this one? God of War did dominant the market, but this really went a long way.

I'm honestly shocked that this game didn't make it huge. The movie and game are both incredible. It's just such an epic character who fights through hell in a fantastic game. I have it on PS3, and would be floored if I could play it on GOG.

I really miss this game, it was gritty, dark and had awesome gameplay! the soundtrack was really nice and it was very videogame-y but it has something a lot of games these days are missing; it had character, it had soul and actual substance. Dante's Inferno needs to come back !

Dante’s Inferno. It’s a God of War clone, but I found its setting and story more interesting. The upgrade system feels so much better than God of War’s; I can tell attacks become stronger as I level up, and the enemy has more personality and variety. This is the studio that made Dead Space 2 and 3, so I thought I’d check it out. I’m glad I did, as it’s pretty damn good. Maybe a little too carbon-copy of God of War’s gameplay—come on, guys, at least make cutscenes skippable! Do something to make it feel less like a reskin! All things considered, I think it did GoW better than GoW did GoW. It really did feel like I was progressing. Hell is a much more believable place for this impossible architecture full of tricks and traps than the temple in GoW, and the reason for the slaughter is far more engaging. Things just make more sense. Dante is so much more interesting than Kratos. Dante made mistakes and doesn’t want someone else to suffer for them. Kratos...? I don’t recall anything interesting about his origin. Dante absolves for past sins and to save his wife from the depths of hell using Death’s scythe to aid him as he descends through the 9 levels of Inferno. It’s grotesque and amazing. It hasn’t been re-released since its PS3 debut. It deserves a re-release.
The dream that it would be if i ever see this game on PC. Hours and hours of playing this gem, motivated me to read The Divine Comedy to know more about the nine circles of Hell. All that there is about this game is stupendous, even that it's known as a God Of War clone, it has it's own image and presence, fuelled by outstanding levels marked by personality of each circle and unique bosses corrupted by each sin, solid combat mechanics, a decent soundtrack and a very compelling, grim and sad story. Brings back too many good times playing and talking about it with some friends back in the day. I just hope to see and play it again, perhaps in some near future...
This game was the game that made me fall in love with gaming. I wasn't aware this was a GOW clone and that made me love it even more, the art direction and the bonkers story has a particular camp to it that is just absent from today's gaming landscape. I was never able to collect the 30 silver coins from Judas, having it back would mean a lot to me.
Playing this game was really amazing, as an atheist and artist that loves the twisted artistry and mythos of catholicism and christianity. Seeing this on Dreamlist floods me with memories of the shock and awe I had when first playing the game, as well as a variety of other emotions that ultimately gifted me that sweet dopamine I endlessly crave. Its artistry and power fantasy was brilliant, and it'd be so fun to replay this epic game again, especially since this era of games is getting a resurgence (thanks, Captain Blood!)

Growl
GrowlThe player begins the game by choosing from one of four different forest rangers, each with a different amount of health, attack strength, and jumping height. The game's controls consists of an eight-way joystick for moving the character and two action buttons (attack and jump). The player can perform a variety of different attacks (punches, kicks, and finishing blows) depending on the position of an enemy. By pressing both buttons while surrounded by enemies, the player can perform a special attack that strikes every enemy around him. By pressing both buttons while holding the joystick upwards, the player will perform a longer jump. The player can procure weapons by destroying barrels and wooden crates or disarming certain enemies. There are a total of eight weapons which can be obtained: three melee weapons (a pipe, a sword and a whip), two throwing weapons (knives and hand grenades), and three firearms (a pistol, a machine gun, and a rocket launcher). The barrels and crates can also be picked up and thrown at enemies as well. When the machine gun or rocket launcher runs out of ammunition, these are still wielded by the player as melee weapons. The pistol, on the other hand, is thrown by the player after all of its bullets are used. The player can drop his current weapon by pressing down and attack while wielding it. If a weapon lies on the ground after a certain period, it will vanish completely. There are seven regular stages (called rounds) and a bonus game, for a total of eight stages. The locations include a city, a moving train, a boat, a jungle, a cavern, and the hideout of the poachers. There are six types of enemy characters throughout the game, excluding the final boss (who has two forms). There are also animal helpers that will help out the player after they're rescued from a poacher, such as an eagle, a herd of deer, and an elephant.
