Living in the City: Dante’s Inferno

Dante’s Inferno

Another Third person action adventure game is about to hit the stand probably within this month.

Dante’s Inferno was just recently released by Electronic Arts and Visceral Games

Being a big boy in the city, one must also learn to ride with the tides, specifically the Tech world.
While I was waiting for DIABLO 3 to hit the market, another third person game caught my fancy.

The game is base on the literary works of Dante Alighieri the Divine Comedy (probably one of the most influential books of all time)

Much like the book, you will be playing Dante, the protagonist of this game and your mission is to find Beatrice (His Beloved) and attempts to free her soul from the Devil (Lucifer).

Dante’s primary weapon is a Death Scythe (which he took from death himself after he killed him) and a Holy cross. This is still the typical third person action were Combination of Magic and Sword/Scythe skill is essential in the fight. The use of magic would still depend on your MANA level.

Dante has two skill category, HOLY and Unholy skill tree; the more enemies you kill means more Souls you get (Soul exchange is the game’s currency). You can exchange these souls for a skill either one of the skill tree.

Same as what is written in the book, Dante will travel the 9 circles of Hell in order to find his beloved Beatrice.
