Evaluation
Inferno - Beyond the 7th Circle launched on April 30, 2021 and received consistent post-launch updates throughout its first year. The developer shipped a series of feature patches between May and October 2021, adding new difficulty modes, a Mac port, a Linux port, and various balance improvements. The most substantial post-launch content — a new optional boss (Beelzebub), new enemy types, and new items — was added in version 1.0.16 on April 26, 2022, roughly one year after launch.
Notably, in June 2021 the developer had floated the idea of a free post-game campaign, but by April 2022 they explicitly stated they were not fully satisfied with that campaign and folded the new content into the main game instead. This resolves that earlier promise — the planned content was delivered in a different form.
Since April 2022, the developer's focus appears to have shifted entirely to a new game, Ludus Mortis, which was announced in October 2022 and bundled with Inferno in October 2023. There have been no news posts indicating further content updates or patches for Inferno after April 2022. The only DLC listed is the soundtrack, which released in May 2021. With no unreleased DLC, no outstanding developer commitments, and no post-April 2022 communications about Inferno, the game appears to have reached its completed state with the April 2022 update.

About this game
The world is dominated by demons: few humans survived and now they are just a minority on the planet. You are one of the survivors, struggling to find food and resources while demons and abominations rule over the Earth.
Inferno - Beyond The 7th Circle is an old-school Dungeon Crawler with survival elements. It's made for hardcore gamers and fans of 80s and 90s cRPG.
It's the spiritual successor of The 7th Circle. Unlike its predecessor, Inferno - Beyond The 7th Circle has a more "classic" approach to the Dungeon Crawler genre: you can now save and load the game when you want and if you die you can just reload your last saved game. Also, there are plenty of new contents: more items, more skills, more spells, more tasks, quests and lot of resources to find.
