Infinity Blade 3

Hello peoples. Today I'm blogging about another videogame, this time for iOS. Here it goes.

So after I finished Infinity Blade two I was loving the Infinity Blade series. As soon as I finished I started researching when the next game would come out. I found the Infinity Blade Dungeons trailer and was impressed. Unfortunately the due date for the release of the game kept being pushed back farther and farther. Anyway eventually I lost track of the game.

At least a year later I was browsing the app store and I saw an add pop up... For Infinity Blade three. I instantly freaked out and tapped the add. It had a release date in around a week. After more research I found out Infinity Blade Dungeons had been cancelled for a while now but this new game looked even better the graphics were amazing even for the already great Infinity Blade games. It offered multiple settings that were even more dark and mysterious and I practically peed myself when I saw the end of the trailer... A dragon hurtling towards the main character, Siris. Siris has fought people that were five times bigger than him before but they obeyed the aegis forms which is like an honorable dueling tradition. He's even fought monsters that didn't obey this but this thing had wings and there didn't seem like a lot he could do about that.

So one thing this series has done is put out a book between each game explaining what goes on between games. I've read the first one between IB one and two called Infinity Blade: Awakening. It was ok and was a must if you wanted to understand what Siris is doing in IB two but it was very mysterious and weird and throughout progression in these games there are more and more of what looks like advanced technology even in this medieval type world. This was in the ending of IB one and put me off a bit and it was implemented even more in that book. The book, called Infinity Blade: Redemption between IB two and three, has all the answers. It tells all about how this technology is here completely catches the reader off guard and wraps it all in a nice little bow. I highly recommend reading these books if your gonna play this game series.

Now down to the actual game itself: I've already beaten it and I loved it. The storyline is amazing and unexpected and if you do beat it then watch till the end of the credits and if you've read all the books what you see is shocking. The game seems to be lacking in weapons, armor, and items compared to the other games but with the ability to play as Isa and utilize her own unique weapons it more than makes up for it. The game also adds an interesting new mechanic. Instead of just doing things as you go along like the other games, in this you actually have a base you visit between missions with useful people like the gem cutter, potion maker, blacksmith, and the merchant. (you can still buy things without the merchant but whenever she visits she comes with a select few discounted items.) I do have a few bugs about the game though. The story is a bit short and there is not as many things to do in it after you've beaten the game, however these things may come out in additional content packs in the future like the previous games. Also the final boss is much to easy. I had more trouble with his predecessors and they either should have made him much faster and more damage dealing or given him more than just one sword. Other than that the game is amazing, definitely worth it's 6.99, and you should pick it up soon.

Bye.
