Infinity Runner Reviews

Despite some rough edges and terrible controls, Infinity Runner kept me coming back for more and has a great amount of content for the price. Wolf mode!

I really wish steam had a middle answer. Its ok but very repetive and feels like a mobile game. It is quick and you get a real sence of speed and mobility. 5/10 Good for what it is; but it isn't much You can watch my video review here if you wish to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsJ-y2OBl2U&feature=youtu.be

Infinity Runner is (as you've probably guessed) an endless runner where the gimmick is that you're playing a werewolf IN SPACE. There's a bit of a story but it's pretty sparse and really an excuse to get to the running. Overall I found the running really fun. The backdrops are all pretty interesting in a sort of pulp sci-fi way (though sometimes on your first run it's hard to tell how to navigate some of the obstacles). There is a lives system where you can die a certain amount of times and go back to a previous checkpoint rather than having to restart. The lives system seemed a bit unnecessary and I think I would have preferred (at least for story mode) to have infinite lives and just go back to the last checkpoint every time and maybe lose some points or something. Combat is executed by QTEs and the final boss fight killed me enough times that I had to restart the level a few times and that was a bit irritating. Running feels great and navigating obstacles without losing momentum is super fun, but the mouse/keyboard controls can be a bit awkward. The game might feel a bit smoother with a controller. The arcade mode is a true endless runner where you run through the different sections of the ship until you run out of lives, and I think that's where the game really shines. In arcade mode you can choose to turn combat off if you'd prefer to not have to deal with the QTEs. There is a multiplayer mode of some kind but I didn't try it so I don't have an opinion on it.

Very enjoyable game. Really loved it. Well, normally I do not enjoy platformers nor running games, because most of the time I fail in these genres. But this game has [b]werewolves in space[/b], so I thought I give it a try. And I never regretted it. Pro:[list] [*] WEREWOLVES IN SPACE - they are so cuddly [*] Nice graphics, nice cutscenes [*] fluid gameplay, no frame rate drops [*] parcour themed, 1st person, not too hard [*] QTE combat system fits the game perfectly [*] varied level graphics fit a humongous spaceship [*] Arcade modes, Collectibles, Challanges, nice Trading Card Graphics [/list] Con:[list] [*] Could have more werewolves in it. [*] Werewolf mode is mostly a bonus level - a bit of wasted potential [*] Turning mouse gestures sometimes a bit sluggish -> running into walls [*] Story could be a bit more fleshed out [*] Ends in "to be continued" - a bit of a downer [*] Game was completed on easy within two hours [/list] Overall, I give it a 7/10 and I had a lot of fun.

Utter disappointment. The game concept is pretty easy to get a grasp of. Automatically run down a corridor dodging obstacles by hitting buttons at the right time. Left and Right to dodge left and right, click to jump, right click to slide, look left or right to turn down a corridor. Sounds simple enough in theory, right? You'll quickly begin to notice problems when the environment starts falling apart on you. While the asthetics are cool to look at, the different chatoic elements often leave you with no way to reasonably discern what button to hit until it's too late. It turns the game from a fun, adrenaline fueled thrill ride into a frusturating chore of trial and error. The particular bit that sticks out in my mind was where you ripline past two droids that are firing at you. The second droid gets in your way, and you have to drop off the ripline and slide under it. However, you can't slide until you've hit the ground, and it's really hard to tell when you've hit the ground in this game because of your extreme forward momentum and the first person perspective. It took several tries to figure out what percise moment to hit the button, again through trial and error. This combines with controls that just aren't responsive enough. I have a pretty good gaming PC, and I turned my quality way down, and it still felt like their was a slight delay on every button press. It wouldn't be so bad if you wern't going so fast. Another person might be able to look past these flaws and get immersed in the experience. For me, the above issues consistently ruined my immersion. If you want a good runner game, check out TEC 3001. Aside form the simpler graphics, it does everything this game does 10x better.

This game was advertised as a parkour werewolf in space game. I was sold no matter how bad it would be. Never have I been more mislead. It's just another crappy temple run game. Parkour shouldn't even been allowed in the description. Steam should have allowed refunds on how misleading this game was

Oh boy...This game.. Well, its a game where you automatically run down corridors occasionally turning left or right and dodging everything possible. you go through "Sections" which take about 3 minutes or so to complete at a time. Took me 90 minutes to complete this game which amazed me. The game is VERY short. but it was pretty fun time I must say Though...The Final Part of the game is CHEAP. There is no Combat in this game it is all QTE's (Quick Time Events) and the final area is only that. and this game is very picky. so if you hit one wrong key BOOM..Restart. and you try again, but of course losing all your lives will force a restart on the entire final stage again just to retry that frustrating final encounter. So overall I liked the game, but that final area really got to me after retrying the level a few times to actually pass it. for the sale price I got it for ($2.99) its really not bad.

It's not an fps. It's a running game on rails, which is fine but it's not very good. It's not very hard. It relies on quicktime events for combat. The werewolf aspect is just a silly gimmick. (It does nothing to enhance the game. and makes combat just silly cutscenes you're forced to watch.) I think this game was meant for kids, because everybody bleeds green blood. The music sucks. The story is really bad. (The whole story is you trying to escape a spaceship while a telepathic woman, who is helping you escape keeps telling you she will explain everything - eventually. She never does. You escape the ship, she tells you she will eplain everything... to be continued! Yep you get that kind of ending. But it is obvious that this game is never going to be continued.) Finally, the game just makes no sense. It really is a type of game where the gameplay is hurt by having the story and world that it does. You run, run, run, and for some reason you can't slow down because... urgency? and you're in such a hurry that if you're not careful you run into walls and die because you didn't turn the corner fast enough. And the spaceship, apparently, is just one very long hallway that you have to run, run, run through. Occasionally you turn into a werewolf to run, run, run through it some more.

While normally not anything like the usual type of game that I would play, the idea of werewolves in space was just too fun a concept for me to pass up. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was fun to play. Its kinda entertaining to just go through in Arcade mode and see how long it takes me to faceplant into a wall by failing to make a turn in time (or, more embarassingly, turning the wrong way), while trying to keep myself from accidentally jumping face-first into the obstacles I'm supposed to be sliding under. The Quick Time Events, which normally annoy the hell out of me, didn't do that in this game, well, except for that one fight at the end. Though, really, I think the game would have been better with more werewolf in it.

Canabalt if you added a thrid dimension crossed with Mirror's Edge but on rails (and with combat that doesn't utterly kill your momentum). It's pretty fun, and addictive enough that I completed the story mode in one go and then played through the hard and arcade modes until some real-life errands dragged me away. Normally for a game this short I'd say the price is a bit high, but it's a game based around being fast, so. It also has to be commended for having a silly premise but making it work by playing it straight; way too many games start with a wacky idea and then constantly push it with zany humour until you're sick of the entire thing. The flaws obviously weren't enough to stop me playing, but they're worth noting: I don't think a game like this really needs a lives system, it would probably be enough just to dock your score when you die. There were a few rare instances where I failed to dodge an obstacle and kind of just clipped through it instead, which was helpful but probably something that might need fixing. The biggest flaw for me was that the voice actor (there's really only one with a speaking role) runs through her lines faster than a werewolf through a spaceship. Better voice direction would really have helped there, towards the end I was beginning to suspect they'd shot the cutscenes before they recorded the dialogue and panicked when they realised they weren't long enough to get out what little plot the game has.
