About the game
Prepare for an epic journey through the nine circles of Hell in DANTE: Inferno, a cooperative game that dives headfirst into Dante Alighieri's masterpiece! Gather your crew (1-4 players) and embark on an adventure blending tactical exploration with intense battles, all set in the early 16th century. Will you chart safe routes or venture into the darkest, most challenging corners of this infernal realm?

The game invites you to explore reimagined settings of Hell, where every step can lead to unexpected dangers or revelations about characters and events immortalized in The Divine Comedy. Dante, the poet, acts as a guide on this journey, helping adventurers navigate this ever-changing world.

The experience is divided into 9 chapters, one for each circle, and you can choose between two modes: a quick combat or a full campaign. In campaign mode, the story unfolds with narrative choices that truly impact the course of your adventure, altering battles and even the very shape of Hell. The three-dimensional and grid movement mechanics add a tactical layer to battles, while hand management and action retrieval demand strategy. With variable player powers and a modular board, each game promises to be unique. If you enjoy games with a strong narrative, cooperative combat, and a deep theme, DANTE: Inferno is a must-play.
