Launching on Nintendo Switch later this month is Inferno 2, an action RPG/shooter from Radiangames and 2Awesome Studio.
With 80 levels to blast through, players will need to use the game's twin-stick mechanics to shoot everything in sight, exploring and collecting goodies as you go. Along the way, you can upgrade your ships' weapons, missiles, and special powers, and you'll also need to keep an eye out for numerous secret areas and levels.
The game is inspired by Gauntlet (level structure), Geometry Wars (action), and Tron (art/sound), and brings a two-player mode to the series for the very first time. Here's a feature list:
* Play through 80+ levels of atmospheric awesomeness
* Customize your arsenal of upgradable weapons and ship powers
* Single player and 2 player local co-op for the first time!
* New Game+ mode adds even more replayability
* 3 difficulty levels (change it up at any time)
* All-new special level types and goals. Survival and boss fights!
* Dozens of enemy types
* Tons of secrets to discover
The game will be available on Switch and other platforms from 19th September, with pricing set at 4.99€. Switch owners will also benefit from a 10% pre-order discount, however, which starts on 5th September.

This looks terrible. Also, “rpg” and “levels” should not be in the same description.
I do not see any RPG elements in it.
How is this rpg related ? Also it looks awful thankfully many better games out this month. Where do nintendo life find these games
Game doesn't look bad but I thought it would be terrible judging from that bland static logo.
I've played this and several of Radiangames' other titles on mobile - they are all top notch stuff and well worth anybodies time & money! Although I agree that NL should lose the 'RPG' text from the article... it's not!
Hi! Publisher here. First of all thanks a lot to Nintendo Life and Ryan for covering Inferno and thanks to you all for your comments!
Just a clarification from our side regarding the RPG elements that are not obvious from the trailer. Inferno 2 has an XP system that will allow you to level up and allocate then those points to customize your ship, weapons, and powers in different ways.
Radian games have made some incredible shooters in a similar vain and have won multiple awards for them. I'm certainly interested in this. We need the back catalogue porting over from the 360.
@2Awesome We need Crossfire 2 ported over, its a crying shame that game is left languishing on the 360.
@YANDMAN We hope this will be the first of many, we'd love to bring back the whole back catalogue of Radiangames from 360 over to Switch
I love Radiangames’s output. Looking forward to this!
@2Awesome Oh my god please please please do this, and ultimately with a physical compilation. I still have a 360 gold pass but someday soon that server is going to get shutdown and with it thousands of incredible games including Radians will disappear. Crossfire 2 must be next.
To me this looks like I'm having a migraine if I ever play it, just way too much stuff on the screen
Cannot wait. Radiangames' Xbox (XBLIG) titles were some of the most polished and fun games on their indie market. If only ports of these were available ... I'd love to play JoyJoy on a new console.
@2Awesome Please port them if possible. Those XBLIG titles are doomed ... which is a fate too cruel for games as good as those.
The bland static image, no text info overlay in trailer, terribly produced trailer in general all popped up red flags in my book, but with people vouching for the dev and the dev actually responding (allegedly ), I'm coming around. Game still looks a little busy, though, so not sure. Never had a 360 and have only ever seen Super Crossfire show up in the Play Store.
This game looks like a ton of fun and it is pretty cheap. Definitely checking out the review when it comes out.
