Infinity Blade II (iOS)

Postby Julio III » December 2nd, 2011, 6:51 am

Recently got an iPhone4S and I see this was just released. Like the previous game (which I haven't played) its meant as a graphical showcase for iOS. The actual game is kindof like an action RPG. You don't move freely, but move in a way reminiscent of text/graphic adventures, and in the cutscenes when you move, you click about in the environment for hidden items/gold. The game is then basically one big chain of one-on-one battles. Here you block/parry/dodge/attack with touchscreen swipes etc. You have magic as well, where you cast patterns onto the screen. It plays a bit like Punch-Out apparanltly. You then gain XP, level up, get items, upgrade your equipment, buy new things etc. Its very addicting, because the game repeats in cycles, hence the Infinity in the title. You take different routes through the castle before reaching a big boss, win or lose and you wake up 6 months or a few years later to repeat the cycle. Very grindy.
