  • story
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and meaningful content, with players noting that it primarily consists of repetitive "kill x" quests and minimal narrative engagement. Many reviewers express frustration over the scarcity of quests, poor quest tracking, and a dead economy, leading to a grind-heavy experience that feels uninspired and tedious. While some players see potential for improvement, the overall consensus is that the game currently lacks a compelling story and sufficient quest variety.

    • “The game looks like it has a future; I think that the most important thing in a game is optimization, the very colorful and attractive interface, and even more important, the very good but non-linear story.”
    • “You get into a big area that has a town or locations to walk through and talk to NPCs or complete quests, and then instanced areas that operate as dungeons or delves.”
    • “There is enough in the world to complete, and the early game is like any MMO, which gives you some base story and a few fetch and kill quests before you hit a level and new zone, and then things get more serious.”
    • “The game lacks a proper story, quests, depth, and even graphics.”
    • “Currently, the game lacks any meaningful quests or storyline.”
    • “It's grinding, grinding, grinding, and more grinding, with some dumb quests like killing animals and that's about it.”
  • graphics
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they are subpar compared to other titles, often likening them to those of older games like Metin2. While some players appreciate the decent visuals and smooth performance under certain conditions, others criticize the outdated graphics, poor optimization, and lack of fluidity in animations. Overall, the game shows potential for improvement, but currently falls short in delivering a visually appealing experience.

    • “The graphics are nice.”
    • “Beautiful graphics.”
    • “Inferna, unlike any other MMORPG before, copied the highly popular approach of its predecessor and has decent graphics, runs fairly smoothly, and is an overall rounded game for a beta version of a small (or rather tiny) team of devs.”
    • “Somehow a game like Runes of Magic, which released in 2009, has better graphics than this game that has been in early access since 2019.”
    • “The graphics seem outdated.”
    • “This game is basically a 2019 remake of Metin 2, yet the graphics are trash, the animations are trash, the interface is trash, the servers are trash, and developers are trash for lying to everyone about their business model.”
  • grinding
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is a polarizing feature, appealing primarily to fans of traditional, grind-heavy MMORPGs like Metin2. While many players find satisfaction in the meditative nature of grinding for items and upgrades, others criticize the excessive grind and lack of meaningful rewards, leading to frustration and a sense of stagnation. Overall, the game offers a nostalgic experience for those who enjoy grinding, but it may deter players seeking a more balanced or varied gameplay experience.

    • “Too much grinding and too little reward for it.”
    • “This is a mindless grinding game with grinding, different areas for grinding, afk grinding, shop afk grinding, grinding for materials, grinding for armor, grinding for weapons, a teeny winsy story, and then grinding for money for potions, and even grinding just because.”
    • “There's a lot of annoying and tedious things which could be fixed with some simple quality-of-life updates, and as the game has been updated every week for the last several months I'm sure they will get around to the less important things soon.”
  • gameplay
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant issues such as clunky mechanics, poor balance, and frustrating camera angles. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel and potential for improvement, others criticize the simplistic combat system and lack of engaging content, leading to a general sentiment that the game is currently not enjoyable. Overall, players express hope for future updates to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “It's actually a pretty decent game once you get used to the combat mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it has a nice nostalgic feel from older MMOs (although with a more hack-and-slash combat system), extensive and risky crafting/upgrading system, and no pay-to-win elements (as of the writing of this review).”
    • “The core mechanics of combat itself are actually pretty good for what this game is.”
    • “There is a lot wrong with the balance and mechanics of this game that make it extremely frustrating to play.”
    • “Clunky interface, dated graphics, often bad camera angles, especially when in buildings. After 2 hours of gameplay, I did not want to proceed further.”
    • “The mechanics are far worse than in Metin2; skills are barely usable even in PvM, and the overall combat experience has not changed compared to the original game.”
  • optimization
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting severe performance issues, including lag, crashes, and high GPU usage, even on capable systems. Many users express frustration over the lack of basic optimizations and the presence of numerous bugs, suggesting that the developers are prioritizing cosmetic features over performance improvements. While some believe the game has potential, they emphasize that significant optimization work is needed before it can be considered playable.

    • “The game looks like it has a future; I think that the most important thing in a game is optimization, the very colorful and attractive interface, and even more important, the very good but non-linear story.”
    • “This game is still in early access; of course, it will get much hate. I already got a warrior to level 16, and the game has a lot of potential. If this game gets a few optimizations and visual upgrades, it will be perfect.”
    • “Optimization-wise, there is a lot you can set by yourself, including HUD elements, which is really nice.”
    • “The devs are too busy adding a lot of useless systems and cash shop items that they forgot to do basic optimizations to make their game run a bit smoother at 60fps at least.”
    • “God have mercy on anyone who plays this game and isn't watching their GPU temps; people who don't realize their system is being cooked alive due to the insane workload the poor optimization is dumping onto their GPU/system.”
    • “Laggy as hell, too many bugs (yes, I know it's still in alpha, but to the point where the game is not playable), random FPS drops, random screen blurs, horrible optimization; I play on high and get the same FPS as playing on low graphics.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is currently a significant issue, with numerous users reporting bugs, glitches, and lag that hinder gameplay. While some appreciate the potential and enjoy the experience despite these problems, many express frustration over unpolished animations, long loading times, and frequent disconnections. Overall, the game is seen as a work in progress that requires substantial optimization and bug fixes to enhance stability.

    • “Inferna has an awful and buggy loading screen that can take up to 15 minutes to load, and when the game finally does load, it has serious issues with rendering and cannot run properly.”
    • “There are a few glitches and clipping issues here and there, some of the animations seem unfinished, the UI needs a lot of work, and lastly certain areas where there are a lot of players in the same place cause server lag, so there are some optimization errors that need to be addressed if possible.”
    • “The game is a buggy lagged out mess at the moment.”

Many feel that the game's audio elements detract from the overall experience, overshadowing any positive aspects.

    • “The soundtrack on the character selection screen is great.”
    • “It's not completely bad; the feeling in this game is cool and reminds me a little bit of Dark Age of Camelot. The background music is okay.”
    • “The music in the town keeps repeating.”
    • “The game is laggy, some animations are done in roughly 20 fps, the sounds of the game are unenjoyable, and the music playing in the game is annoying.”
    • “Music sounds like looped three tunes that are more annoying than climatic.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Some players have not yet encountered microtransactions, but the overall sentiment suggests a negative perception of the game's monetization strategy.

    • “Monetization is hideous.”
    • “Inferna is a deep in development hell early access pay-to-win/cash grab MMORPG, trying to rip off World of Warcraft and Guild Wars years after the boat sailed.”
    • “Just a cash grab.”
