is the options menu, with pelo settings available for tweaking the graphics. The title has meager system requirements that only wants a dual-core CPU and a GPU with 2GB VRAM; it’s something you’ll be able to easily install and enjoy even on decade-old hardware.

In particular, to me Lucifer’s and Adam and Eve’s boss themes perfectly capture the overwhelming presence of these divine adversaries making you feel like just a poor, damned soul in looking to defy the impossible.

How much more difficult will the second world, Purgatorio, be compared with Inferno? How badass can I make my weapons? What’s it like to run around hell with a beagle by your side? These are all exciting questions I’m looking forward to answering once 33 Immortals
