• Archimedes World

  This month, AW published a small review of Inferno. Their opinion was.. "Was it worth the wait? Most Definately! All in all Inferno is an excellent game with good gameplay and good graphics to boot! The game will keep you engrossed for hours, and is worth buying at the bargain price of £9.99."

• RXN Internet Magazine

  RXN featured two articles in recent issues about Paradise, and Inferno.
  The first article mentioned details about our new game in development - Overload, and that we are currently working on at least two other titles.
  The second article was a review of Inferno (sadly taken only from the demo version). The overall opinion was that "it is a very playable game.... If you are a shoot-em-up fan, then this game will certainly appeal to you, and for a mere ten pounds, it really is good value......I look forward to the next release from Paradise."
