Marathon Infinity is a first-person shooter video game that appeared in the first instance for Mac computers. Still, now we can also install it on our computers with the Windows operating system Windows, and over time has managed to become a famous installment as the culmination of the trilogy that previously began Marathon and Marathon 2 Durandal.

Marathon Infinity was released in October 1996, incorporating elements that earned it the public's recognition, such as its three-dimensional graphics, the 25 levels for the single-player campaign, and the possibility of accessing dozens of maps when we want to enjoy multiplayer entertainment. In any case, the important thing is that you can face both the computer and your colleagues or friends.

An interesting detail of this game that differentiates it from many others is that we can create or develop our levels. To do so, it will be necessary first to have some knowledge of specific tools such as Forge or Anvil. Beyond that, it is attractive to know that we can customize a game to generate our levels to have even more fun.

Otherwise, we must say that explaining the plot of Marathon Infinity is somewhat complicated, considering that some of the events that occur here are the direct result of others that happened in the previous installments of the titles. It is assumed that this game would have been entirely different if everything had happened differently in the second installment of the saga especially.

As for the proposal of the title, we have to say that this is a first-person game in which we have to commission a security officer Durandal sent to a distant galaxy aboard the ship Pfhor. Once we get to the first level, we will see that difficulties of all kinds begin, and the most curious thing is that certain characters who are our allies in certain levels then become enemies in others.

In terms of graphics, you will find that it is a three-dimensional aspect, very similar to what we saw in many other titles that came out, especially at the end of the 90s. If we were to compare the aesthetic aspect of this title with another well-known title, we could say that it has some similarities with the famous Doom. Of course, you'll also find specific differences.

Suppose you have tried the previous installments of the saga. In that case, you will notice that unlike what happened in them, in Marathon Infinity, we cannot enjoy a ship that can be commanded to move more easily through the levels. Beyond that, you will also notice that the enemies, such as aliens and robots, are much more varied, and therefore you will have to learn to know them and discover their weak points.

Another detail that you have to take into account, again if you are used to the first part of this saga, is that in Marathon Infinity, you can only cause damage with the shots of your weapons or by punching the enemies. It happens that, unfortunately, in this installment, we can not use our guns to give a butt, for example, since that possibility has been eliminated. Therefore we have to risk more in our attack movements.

Some aliens succumb to the first blows, while you will notice that others hardly show signs of damage even when you have already attacked them several times, so you should take cover before returning to the attack. As in any confrontation game, it is crucial to measure the moments in which we attack and those in which it is convenient to retreat to cause more damage later.

The interminable weapons section that we can enjoy in Marathon Infinity requires a separate mention, considering that there is a rich catalog of options of all kinds, some of which are underwater. It would be best if you always thought about the characteristics of the weapons you will equip. If you find yourself underwater without access to an underwater gun, you could be an easy victim of your enemies.

To mention some of the most exciting weapons we can find in this game, we have to refer to the Submarine KKV, the Battle Rifle MA-75B, the Class Fusion Pistol - Zeus, or the Missile Launcher SPNKR-XP. As you advance levels, you will learn how they work, how controllable they are, and the damage they can cause, so you will know which one to select at any given moment.

In our entertainment experience with Marathon Infinity, we have found a fun title that fulfills the interest to spend a fun time in a first-person shooter with a series of varied missions. Indeed the variety of weapons and the duality of intentions of the other characters that are part of this third installment of the saga are the most exciting aspects.
