Indie 8-bit adventure Infernax was one of the most acclaimed retro-style games of 2022, and now it’s getting a major update in the form of free DLC. The upcoming “Deux Or Die” update will add couch co-op to the game, along with a new character, Cervul the Squire.
By default, Cervul sports Hammer Bros.-like arcing projectiles and other tools. However, if you choose to follow the game’s evil path, he will gain a new set of abilities, including bombs and other high damage-dealing tools. This new mode will entirely rebalance the game for two characters, as well as giving you a single-player option that allows you to swap between heroes Alcedor and Cervul at will.
The game’s secret gun mode will also receive a co-op-themed makeover. Similar to the classic Contra games that the mode serves as a homage to, you’ll now be able to team up with a friend in order to take on the game with machine guns rather than maces and swords. This isn’t Infernax’s first piece of free DLC–back in 2022, the game added the horror-inspired playable character The Stranger to the game.
As a metroidvania with a smaller map, Infernax is often compared to cult 8-bit games Zelda 2: Adventure of Link and Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest. It usually retails for $20, and has a “very positive” rating on Steam.
