Infernal received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2]

Most of the reviews state that the game lacked polish and called it last generation compared to current third-person shooters of the time such as Gears of War and Resident Evil 4. On the other hand, some reviews said it had good graphics and called it "mindless fun".[citation needed]

By April 2008 the PC release had sold over 100,000 units.[15]
