Product Description |
Dante’s Conflagration is an epic single player, third-person action adventure game inspired by "Conflagration", part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic Italian poem, "The Divine Comedy." Featuring frenziedly action rendered at 60 frames-per-second, signature and upgradable weapons, attack combos and mana-fueled spells and the choice of punishing or absolving the souls of defeated enemies, it is a classic Medieval tale of the eternal conflict with sin and the resulting horrors of hell, adapted for a new age group and a new medium. Tale
The Italian mercenary Dante returns home from the bloodletting that was the Third Campaign to two pieces of soul-crushing news. The first is that although he was assured that he was absolved of mortal sins committed in the form of wartime atrocities in the name of the churches interests in the Holy Land, that is not in fact the case and his immortal soul is in grave peril. The second and more terrible is that his beloved Beatrice has been murdered, and her soul pulled down into hell by a dark force. Vowing not to accept the damnation of either souls, he gives chase, vows to get Beatrice back and descends into the infamous nine circles of hell. For weapons, he wields Death's soul-reaping scythe, and commands holy powers of the cross, given to him by Beatrice. 
Go to hell with Dante's Conflagration.
View larger. | Scythe Combat
To vanquish the foes you encounter on your journey through the hell of Dante's Conflagration, you must learn to wield Death's Scythe with precision and deadly force. Mix light attacks with heavy attacks to make combos, then incorporate jumps and grabs to add a further layer to your combat. With dodging and Holy Cross moves thrown into the mix, you can truly become a force to be reckoned with. Lacking using all of your combative skills and techniques, there is no hope of ever success Beatrice. Holy Powers
During your journey, you may collect magic abilities for use hostile to the legions of hell. When you perform the Honest Path power you make a dash attack and leave a trail of icy shards in your wake. With Martyrdom you sacrifice health and mana to deal a heavy amount of hurt to surrounding enemies. Divine Armor regenerates your health and protects you from hurt. Add these and other powers to your collection to vanquish all who stand in your way and when you need to refill your mana-fueled abilities, visit the Holy Fountains scattered throughout the gameplay area. Creature Taming
As powerful as weapons and magic are, sometimes surviving the perils of hell requires brute force. With the power of Death's Scythe, you are able to mount the beasts of hell and use them hostile to your enemies. All of this, but, requires ridding the beast of its current rider first. If successful, you will become the beast’s new master. Now use its awe-inspiring power to chop up enemies and complete tasks that demand a beast's strength.

| There are enemies who shoot male genitalia as a weapon. That's all you really need to know about this game. Indeed, all despises this game, bookworms who feel that poetry is sacred, and gamers who feel this is a straight-up God Of War clone. Disregard them. Are you eighteen? Do you have a 360? Is it working? If you answered yes to all, then drop all your things and buy this game. Hear me out-BUY THIS GAME! |
This game is awe-inspiring! Tons of fun!

| This game is awe-inspiring. I really don't know why similar gameplay elements prompt a reviewer to knock a game down a couple notches. Dark Stalkers and Mortal Kombat played a hell of a lot like Street Fighter II.... did that keep them from being awe-inspiring games? Nope. Let's face it... God of War solidified a genre. So you press the same button to open a door... or use green fountains for health. Who cares? The characters, tale and environments are all absolutely different. And the gameplay is an improved version of God of War's. Sounds like all the right gears for a fantastic game to me. It's a trip to hell... and it's Dante's vision of hell. As a huge fan of the book I will also say that it's ludicrous that people are upset the game takes creative ticket with the first work. So what? The first poem unchanged wouldn't make a excellent game.... it's a poem. They had to stray a small from the source notes to make this a fantastic video game... and I for one reckon the developers vision of Dante's Conflagration is an amazingly creative and appealing venture. |

Dante's Conflagration: like the book, this game is a journey through hell. Unlike the book, the game is going to make teenagers reexamine their moral choices while having fun.
It's a excellent video game? Certainly. I've battled demons, defeated unbatized babies with knifes for hands, and beautify women trying to stab me with their large member between their legs. At some points, the mental challenges follow the same formula of pull a level, see what that does, and respawn to seek what the next level does. On the whole, the game technicalities are brilliant.
It's a reliable video game? Absolutely. The tale is neither pro- or anti-Christian. Dante discovers early on that his part in the Crusades earns him damnation rather than salvation. So far so excellent. Never are controverial sins featured, so Dante's hell is not going to turn off liberals or conservatives. The game has but made me deliberate my own transgretions. I further more want to point out the level of Hell most parents would feel uncomfortable with, Lust, is so us-sexy that making teenagers play this game would likely boost the number taking abstinence pledges (when nipples have tongues and spit out dead babies, sex would be disagreeable to you to).
EA deserves credit for making me pick up the book. The game is both fun and deep in a way that completements the book. |
