'The Inferno' for iPhone shows how to adapt Dante's Inferno
No doubt inspired by both the development of a Dante's Inferno game and that game's wholesale appropriation of another game's play style, iPhone developer Xpressed has done a little appropriation of its own by releasing The Inferno before EA's big multiplatform title hits stores. Instead of being a more offensive God of War, The Inferno is a top-down maze action game, in which Dante collects innocent souls to open exits out of trap-filled rooms. And despite the layout of Hell not really resembling that in the book, this game is quite a bit more faithful than Visceral's: rather than being a psychotic, musclebound mass murderer, Dante is a meek explorer being led through Hell by Virgil. Oh, and it costs a dollar. Check out some gameplay footage after the break! [Via Touch Arcade]
