changedWhat is the main objective of Inferni?You are thrown into a PvP arena in teams of two. You play cards by dragging them onto other players, spells or the environment itself. The objective is to damage and kill players and become the last team standing.

changedIs Inferni turn-based?No, Inferni is real-time. You draw cards on a timer, spells take time to cast and travel to their targets.

addedAre there any plans for downloadable content (DLC) or expansions?Yes, we have planned several seasons that will introduce new storylines, characters, and gameplay features.

removedIs the artwork AI?Some of our artwork is placeholder AI. We have decided to use AI art to allow us to quickly test cards and features that are rapidly changing. We consider AI art as a development tool and not as a substitute for talented artists. We respect the concerns the community has about the use of AI artwork and plan to remove all AI art from the game as cards and features become locked. This means AI art will be removed iteratively during Early Access, with Village Studio committed to it being completely removed by full launch.
