Infinity Runner
- July 14, 2014
- Wales Interactive
An infinite runner game with a slightly different take on the genre and unlike most, a storyline. Not a mould breaker, but this budget title is different enough to make it worth checking out.
In "Infinity Runner" , you play as a prisoner trying to escape from the massive spaceship, The Infinity, which is overrun by a terrifying werewolf. Utilizing parkour and martial arts techniques, players navigate 14 action-packed levels in a first-person perspective while avoiding obstacles and battling enemies in this sci-fi action running game for PC, Mac, and Linux.

70%Infinity Runner Review
All of the underlying wrongness of Infinity Runner can probably be traced back to Wales Interactive overstretching itself. The game was almost definitely envisioned as something more open and complete, until a lack of money or time forced the developer to squeeze its ideas into the shell of an endless runner. The rigidity of the genre ruins almost every promising aspect of the game - it defangs the antagonist, dilutes the plot to the point of irrelevance, and - most damning of all - makes the fact that the protagonist is a werewolf almost inconsequential. A great game exists somewhere in a previous version of Infinity Runner's design document, but the released product is so constricted and amateurish that it will only be remembered as the game that managed to screw up the concept of werewolves in space.

It's hard to get ten functioning buttons along with a pointing device emulated on a touchscreen and having it work seamlessly, while still being able to discern what's going on on a screen that's only a few inches big, and so the reign of limited interaction and low complexity games lives on. It's bad enough that PC users have to deal with the gimped interfaces designed to accommodate the primitive gamepads that rule the console world, they are also being subjected to games that consist of features that used to be basic mechanics a while back, and are now presented as standalone, complete experiences. You could say that Infinity Runner is an instant win because it has werewolves in space, but even that campy premise can't really save it from the reality of the matter: it's just a mobile game, made a little bit bigger so it fits on a larger screen. The concept warrants exploration, but ultimately the execution is lacking and the game lacks enough substance to deliver a memorable experience.
