I played my first two games of Infinity today with a friend who is really into the game. The game is fun but the lore seems to be dogshit. Like worse than 40k in some aspects. Given I only heard about if from my friend but from their explanation the factions seem to be weird.
Apparently one of the factions consists of a bunch of Cryptobros and Ancaps in space and has a subfraction named Bakunin. The China inspired faction is presented as the rival to the main power in the universe because they believe they should be the rulers of everything instead. I guess Haqqislam is pretty cool though so there is that at least.
Edit: Also just learned that Haqqislam has a unit called “Hakims” … and they are doctors.
What are your thoughts on the game?
I’m still waiting to find some western game or whatever with not dogshit lore. If you think 40k is bad, try Battletech. Specifically the stuff on before the Star League, their version of Cold War end, etc.
