About Infinity

An ancient, nameless evil stirs beneath the earth, twisting the land and its people alike with its corrupting force. Two rival nations careen toward war, as a shadowy figure arms them both with unholy weapons of immense power. A disgraced knight is called upon to overcome the centuries-old pain that divides these peoples, his own grief, and the malevolent forces fanning the flames of hate.

This epic tale frames a roleplaying game with a unique tactical battle system, a detailed world with over 50 explorable areas and more than 100 items, and beautiful 8-bit graphics — all to immerse you into the world of Infinity!

  • A unique strategic battle system where positioning is as important as choosing the right attack
  • The option to alternate at any time between “Wait” (Enemies don’t move when you have a turn in battle) and “Action” battle modes (Enemies move whenever they are ready,  much like a chess game where no one is waiting for their turn to move), with 4 different speeds
  • A rich and complex plot that goes above and beyond what you would expect from an 8-bit portable RPG
  • Over 50 explorable areas
  • Around 20 hours of gameplay
  • 6 playable characters, each with their own specialties
  • More than 100 items to aid you in your quest
  • An elaborate script with more than 3,000 lines of dialogue and 20,000 words. That’s longer than Final Fantasy II, and comparable to Dragon Warrior III!
  • Advanced graphical techniques that make the most of the humble Game Boy Color hardware
  • Ultra-customizable text window color gradient!
