A surprisingly ambitious portable take on Dante's Inferno, with a dark, baroque look that fits the subject perfectly. The scythe, light spells and the absolve-or-punish choice deliver a stylish Italianate God of War.

Description
Dante descends through the nine circles of Hell armed with his scythe to redeem his soul and save Beatrice's. Published by EA Games, released in Korea in February 2010. Scythe as main weapon, holy light and shadow spells, choice to absolve or punish damned souls, monumental bosses, dark baroque aesthetic. Korean multilingual release.
The Korean version of Dante's Inferno, Electronic Arts' brawny action inspired by the Divine Comedy, brought to PSP. Localized for the Korean market alone, where the PSP was niche, this title is markedly rarer than its counterparts released elsewhere. Interest is limited to this regional scarcity, sought by collectors of the Korean PSP catalogue, with no demand beyond.
Is Dante's Inferno still worth playing in 2026?
An action game from Electronic Arts, Dante's Inferno transposes Dante's poem into an infernal beat them up where the hero crosses the nine circles of Hell, scythe in hand, to redeem his soul and save Beatrice's. The blend of snappy combat and platforming, the macabre imagery and the spectacular staging openly evoke God of War, with an impressive production for the PSP. Repetition lurks over the long haul. For a fan of muscular action or someone curious about the literary adaptation, the title keeps a raw intensity and a striking mood.
