Description.
"Inferno" is a miniatures-based game for 2-5 players that is set in Dante Alighieri's Inferno. Each player chooses an Archfiend and arms it with spells and weapons, and also chooses and arms several lieutenants. After each player has created their group of demons, they battle each other for control of the Abyss. Once a group has been defeated, that player is eliminated from the game. The last player to survive is the winner.

Publication history.
Canadian games company Global Games had previously published the board game "Legions of Steel" (1992), for which they also marketed associated lines of 25 mm miniatures. In similar fashion, Global published "Inferno" in 1996, a board game designed by Marco Pecota that also came with cardboard counters, but for which Global produced extensive lines of metal miniatures. A German-language version of the game was marketed in Germany by FanPro. Although the first issue of "H.A.V.O.C. Magazine" was included with the game, no further issues were ever published.
The following year, Global Games released an associated role-playing game, "Abyss", that could also use the same lines of metal miniatures. 
After Global Games went out of business, the European rights to Global's lines of miniatures were acquired by British miniatures manufacturer Amazon Miniatures. 
Reception.
In the October 1997 edition of "Dragon" (#240), Rick Swan thought the game was "elaborate", the components were "attractive", and concluded "The game itself is as involving — and demanding — as a military simulation."
