Loosely based on The Divine Comedy's first act, Dante's Inferno is a
third-person action game starring Dante Alighieri: an Italian mercenary
who journeys to hell itself to retrieve the love of his life, Beatrice.
As he ventures into hell's nine circles, from limbo to treachery, Dante
will engage demons and other ghastly creatures looking to end his heroic
quest in gruesome fashion. To survive, Dante wields a massive scythe
made of bone, Death's scythe, which has the ability to harvest souls
from the damned. Dante can also channel holy powers from a cross
bequeathed to him by Beatrice, and even tame some of the dark creatures
he encounters during his dangerous descent.
