Inferno sequel brings bigger, better and badder color explosions

When you hear the word Inferno, what first comes to mind? Does it involve exploding balls of color that meet their end from bad-ass bullets fired from your smartphone? No? Well, that's basically what Inferno is all about and the sequel is more of the same. The twin-stick action-RPG is an award-winning and popular game that is now back with "bigger, better, badder" features and customization options than its predecessor. Welcome to Inferno 2.

The game now has more than 80 levels of neon mazes for you to play through, all with three varying levels of difficulty, which you can change whenever you want. Its Game+ mode adds to the replayability of its gameplay. The touch controls for this sequel is much more responsive and customizable, and offers support for more gamepad controls, in case you're tired of just swiping and pressing with your fingers.

As with any self-respecting game sequel, Inferno 2 has more weapons, upgrades, powers, and consequently, more enemies to fight against. The explosions of your foes are even bigger and more colorful, and dare we say it, even prettier than before. You will not find any backstory here or an effort to understand why your enemies are evil. The mission is simple: shoot them down and make them explode in a ball of color. There are also supposedly "more secrets to discover" so maybe let us know when you've figured them out.

Inferno 2 can be played either in a smartphone or a tablet. Either way, you should get your money's worth. It is available for download from the Google Play Store for only $2.99.
