While Infinity Blade II was a refinement of the original, Infinity Blade III takes the familiar Infinity Blade formula and tweaks it to the point of perfection. There's far more content, even more customization, additional systems to delve in to, and best of all, huge dragons.
With the addition of a playable female protagonist, a greatly expanded game world, collectible ingredients for enhancement potions, and a richer storyline, Infinity Blade III retains all of the fantastic elements of the first two offerings while managing to improve in fun new ways. We’ll be quite disappointed if this truly is Infinity Blade’s swan song, as each iteration has been decidedly better than its predecessor.
This game, and this trilogy as a whole deserves so much more recognition than it gets. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay can feel repetitive at times but is still very addicting, but what really takes this series to the next level is the story. Once you fully understand the story (which requires 100% completion of every game and reading the two book tie-ins), you will realize just how emotional, epic, deep, and incredible this series is, and this is helped by very likable characters that you really get to know and care about over the course of the series. Infinity Blade III is a more than satisfying conclusion to, in my opinion, the best mobile series ever made and serves as a shining example of what happens when a developer commits and puts time and effort into what they're making.
The Dark Souls of mobile games. It's not too courteous to casuals and it takes a lot of time to beat. It's not one of those "I'll spend 5 minutes playing while I take a break", it's "Holy crap, it's been an hour!" Better than the first, since Infinity blade one told you to buy the titular sword and God King's armor with real money. It's a bit complex but ultimately worth it.
With its gorgeous graphics and huge amount of content, Infinity Blade III sure is a great deal for its price: however, not all of the new features work accordingly, making this final chapter somewhat less enjoyable than expected.
Infinity Blade III is a should buy for one deluxe iOS experience that can be repetitive at times, but still is an overall enjoyable, engaging, and entertaining experience.
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 3, strong because of outstanding sales, remains perched on his positions: the result is a game that does not arouse any particular enthusiasm.
Great ending for the trilogy but it still lefts with some doubts since this is the trilogy finale,also some of the new additions didnt felt so great,like the great transittion between infinity blade 1 and infinity blade 2.
Maybe you should have added more new elements rather than using the formula “ain'tbroke,dont fix it”GRAPHICS ARE STUNNING,AWESOME ON IPHONE 5S!
I'm only giving this a 7 because of the great graphics for a mobile game. The in app purchase crap added with the rogue like game play is atrocious. The developers should have spent a little more time on the sound and less on the graphics. The actual touch gameplay is good but the story is terrible.
Nice graphics, but that's about it. The gameplay is very shallow and boring, repetitive. Easy to pick up, but also easy to forget. A nice app to show to your friends on your new iPad Air, but nothing more.
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:
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.
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 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!
SummaryInfinity Blade III is the final game in the Infinity Blade trilogy. Siris and Isa have joined with the God-King Raidriar in a desperate attempt to destroy the Worker of Secrets and his army of Titans.
