    i spend countless hours playing infinity blade 2. it felt like a game made by geniuses. sadly infinity blade 3 has become a convoluted mess by introducing apparently good ideas that should have never been implemented. a second currency that is extremely hard to come by made the game a tiresome free to play experience. useless potions. infuriating deathless mode. just to name a few.i spend countless hours playing infinity blade 2. it felt like a game made by geniuses. sadly infinity blade 3 has become a convoluted mess by introducing apparently good ideas that should have never been implemented. a second currency that is extremely hard to come by made the game a tiresome free to play experience. useless potions. infuriating deathless mode. just to name a few. something went wrong.… Expand

    We have to expect more from mobile gaming in the modern age. 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 premiumWe have to expect more from mobile gaming in the modern age. 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!… Expand

    I haven't played any of the other Infinity Blade games, and the only impression that I'd ever had of them is that they are beautiful sword-fighting games that require lots of swiping. When I finally got to play this one for myself, I was at first intrigued by the various combat options that the game presented, but then surprised by a couple of facts:

When I finally got to play this one for myself, I was at first intrigued by the various combat options that the game presented, but then surprised by a couple of facts:

    1. This game has a storyline- I didn't realize there were characters in this game. That's not a bad thing, except for the fact that I feel like this game doesn't allow for a newcomer to come in and understand what's going on. I don't know who these characters are or what they're doing.

    2. All enemies are functionally identical - large, armored brutes that telegraph the same attacks over and over again, which you then counter in the same methods as well.

    3. You can dodge, block, and parry attacks - however, as far as I can tell, you can only block so many times, you can only dodge so many times, but you can parry as many times as you want. Parrying is also much easier than dodging because it requires no guesswork. Why wouldn't you just parry every time (granted, sometimes the enemies attack you with brute force, which I don't believe you can parry, but this is rare)? It removes strategy from the game when one option is consistently easier and better than others.

    4. There are in-app purchases that allow you to get better gear - I'm fine with IAPs as long as we can also buy stuff with money from the game. However, there are certain resources that I have no idea how to recover, as well as a multitude of items that I have recovered that I don't know what to do with. The game simply has no means of a tutorial explaining how to do anything outside of combat.

    I got the game for free, and I've put 3-4 hours into it, but the repetitive combat means that I won't be turning the app back on anytime soon.    … Expand

    Playable, yes, but nothing new. [Issue#141, p.110]

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