    Infinity Blade III is a visually stunning "more of the same" game. Its philosophy is becoming too old for a game that now is more than a simple castle to explore, and the combat mechanics are still based on the old “swipe & tap” scheme.

    Infinity Blade III's new additions fail to improve on the well-worn formula.

    The primal joys of a perfect parry followed by a killing blow against a hulking monster mean that Infinity Blade 3 was always going to be good fun where it counts. But between distracting feature creep and the inclusion of in-app purchases just because everyone else is using them, it feels like a game that exists more to serve a publishing agenda than an essential closing chapter in a coherent trilogy.

    A rather disappointing end to such a ground-breaking trilogy, where all the bold new ideas seem very much at odds with the core gameplay.

    With Infinity Blade 3, Chair turns the thrilling sword-fighting series into a huge adventure. The reliance on frequent deaths and forced grinding, however, is an infuriating relic from previous games.

    Infinity Blade 3, strong because of outstanding sales, remains perched on his positions: the result is a game that does not arouse any particular enthusiasm.

    Such bloat is indicative of a game that's constrained by the limitations of its original design where additional features intended to expand the experience simply don't gel with its combat.

    Infinity Blade 3 offers more of the same for fans, but the constant grinding is showing its age the third time around.

    Infinity Blade 3 has a dark side; a noticeable lack of variety and an inconsistent difficulty. It’s worth the price for genre and series fans, but tread carefully if you’re a newbie.

Infinity Blade is a tech demo from 2010 to all intents and purposes and it is simply lazy that the same restrictive gameplay is still present by the third installment. Many games on ios are using the same engine but putting into a full game! The use of iap on a paid app is borderline criminal, especially as you are paying premium price for the app. Non-stop grinding becomes dull and repetitive. Swipe, swipe, tap, tap repeat! Ironically for a game with such good visuals it is really showing its age now! 3 out of 10 as it looks pretty!… Full Review »

Infinity Blade is by far my favorite series on the iOS and it has very high standards. The quality of these games never ceases to amaze me. They took every aspect from the original two games and perfected it. The game is an absolutely MUST have. If you have $6.99 to spare, don't hesitate to buy, you will not regret it. I can't name a single bad thing about this game, it is the best iOS game to date. If you want amazing visuals, fast paced action with a wide variety of weapons, adventure, the most in depth story for a series on the AppStore and hours upon hours of fun, GET THIS GAME!!! 10/10 hands down.… Full Review »
