INTRODUCTION

Infinity Runner centres on a prisoner desperately trying to escape the decaying ship and the clutches of the terror within. It’s a sci-fi action running game for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux that features 14 action packed levels, Oculus Rift support and multiplayer.

In Infinity Runner, the player controls the protagonist, the prisoner, from a first-person perspective as he is challenged to escape from the gargantuan spaceship. This is accomplished by use of techniques and movements inspired by the disciplines of parkour and mixed martial arts, the game-play conveys the players strain and physical contact with the environment whilst dealing with the constantly changing and expansive surroundings. As well as these evasive elements there’s also combat sections in the game where a dynamic targeting system is used which calls for fast reflex combinations. The game supports the latest virtual reality technology as well as having multi-player mode which enables up to 32 people to play head to head.

"Infinity Runner looks good, with decent graphics and a strong sci-fi visual style....the running itself is shockingly enjoyable...and surprises in how fun it can be". 7/10 - Jim Sterling, Escapist magazine.

"Infinity Runner does a great job in maintaining its momentum as the game progresses, feeding you new hazards regularly to keep you on your toes when you least expect them." 8/10 - The Indie Mine

"Wales Interactive have made a great game and I am looking forward to playing more of the games they produce in the near future" 7.4/10 - Xbox One UK

"Infinity Runner provides for a refreshing take on the endless runner genre, and has ultimately succeeded in what it tries to accomplish." 71/100 - Entertainment Buddha

"My adrenaline would be pumping, I’d ninja though some cool set pieces, and I’d feel awesome when completing a section. The first person perspective and cinematic hazards really make you “feel there,” and the music keeps everything driving forward." 6.5/10 - Hooked Gamers

Even though it’s a slick action game the story is very important part of your journey, as well as being your call to action it will reveal revelations along your action packed ride. Some of the story is told at high pace but there are some slower paced transition sections at the end of each level where we develop the narrative for the player. Without giving too much away you have someone guiding you through the game who talks to you telepathically. Their role is not only to orientate you but to help unfold the story for the player as you find out who you are and why you’re on the ship.

The Oculus Rift mode literally transports you inside the Infinity spaceship to be totally immersed in the thick of the action. The gameplay is designed to complement the VR mode so you get the best experience possible and it enhances the game by adding another dimension to the playing experience.

There is also another feature that transforms the game into a unique experience, the multi-player mode. This allows up to a 32 players to battle it out head to head to find out who’s the ultimate Infinity Runner (PC, Mac, Linux).

Infinity Runner packs a lot into one super slick sci-fi action game bundle and with it re-invents the running genre!
