A magnificent game Infinity Blade II from the studio Chair Entertainment Group, you could also see it during the presentation of the iPhone 4S. I decided to bring it up to you in this review.
At the very beginning of the game, you will watch a short video that follows the previous part of the game - Infinity Blade I, and you will get to know the basic controls of the game in the form of an interactive tutorial, you will always be shown information and instructions about what can be done in the game, and then you will gradually try it out in practice . The controls are relatively simple - you swing your sword with your finger, use the shield at the bottom of the screen to cover yourself, use the left and right arrows to jump, and you can also use a "megapower attack" or a spell. However, if you think you're going to be slashing the enemy head on with your sword and sending spells at them, you're wrong. Infinity Blade II is well thought out, and enemies come at you with their weapons from different angles and use different types of attacks, so if you want to deflect your opponent's weapon, you have to think quickly which way to swing your finger in order not to get a fatal hit. Plus, your enemies aren't stupid either, and can jump or parry your lunges at them. Also, casting spells isn't just about tapping a symbol in the corner of the display. If you want to use magic, you choose which spell you want to send to the enemy and you have to use your finger to copy its simple shape on the display (for example, a wheel, "elko", lightning, etc.). You have to do this before the opponent hits you with their weapon, otherwise you have to cast the spell again.
Once you learn how to fight, you can finally fully immerse yourself in the Infinity Blade II vortex and begin your story. A story whose only goal is to free the character "The Secret Worker", who is very important because he forged the Infinity Blade itself and also researched how to defeat the three Undead Kings. Unfortunately for you, you will encounter these three kings on your way to this mysterious person, but they will not be alone, in addition to them you will have to withstand a never-ending barrage of enemies of all shapes and sizes.
Once you kill the opponent who stood in your way, you will of course get experience points as well as various amounts of money. Sometimes it happens that you also get a piece of equipment or a key to a chest. You can also find gold coins, equipment, life replenishing potions or gems in the chests. I haven't mentioned gems yet, but they are more than important. Almost every part of your equipment can be upgraded with different types of gems, which improve the characteristics of the selected item (for example, increase attack, health, etc.). However, if you don't want to wait to find better armor or potions, you can buy them. Don't expect to have to go to shops though, just go to your inventory and switch to the tab Store and you can buy everything except keys and gems with money.
Defeat enough enemies and gain experience to advance to the next level. This means you get some special points and can upgrade your hit points, attack, shield or spells. It is also important to mention that not only your character, but also the things you wear and use gain experience and their properties automatically improve. However, if you don't want to wait for your sword to level up, for example, you can speed up its development for a certain amount of money.
Now to the gameplay itself. It is basically very limited. You don't have a lot of choice in where you go, you always have to go to a designated place, you rarely have a choice. You can look around and find various items scattered around, but that's about it. But the change comes when you are defeated and killed by your opponent. You don't have to worry about the game ending, it won't, you'll just respawn and have more paths available to you knowing which one not to take. In addition, every time you die, all items and experience remain with you, so you have a better chance to defeat enemies each time.
A complete novelty in Infinity Blade is the so-called Clasmob. This is a feature that is only available online after you sign in with your Facebook account. Here you will find various tasks, after the completion of which you will receive such rewards that you have no chance of encountering in a normal game. However, I must point out that none of the quests you'll come across here are at all easy, and each quest with a reward is only there for a certain amount of time, then it's replaced by a completely different one.
One thing cannot be overlooked during the game and that is the graphics. Like the previous installment of Infinity Blade, this sequel also has excellent graphics and is quite possibly the game with the best graphics ever in the App Store. Some details may be a bit lower, but the overall impression is more than great. I was particularly impressed by the excellent processing of the sun's rays, which look really real. The sound side of the game is just as good as the graphics. And if you wear headphones while playing, I can guarantee that you will spend at least a few hours with Infinity Blade.
As the achievements reaped and Leaderboards.
If you are interested in the game and you own an iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3rd generation or iPad 1 and later, don't hesitate. A new update should be coming soon so you can have even more fun with Infinity Blade.

One of the many great exclusives for iOS where Android users with their weak shunts can only fall down the sled :D
I think number one has a better and clearer menu for selecting/buying weapons, etc. I can't tell the difference between the two. I also have two questions, is it better to wait and improve the weapons gradually or what should I do? I was shopping for something in the unit and I got to a stage where there was nothing to buy for and there was no way to get or buy new equipment (extremely expensive). Does the duo finally have any sign of an end? :D or does it go on and on endlessly just as I improve my skills? over time you will get bored...
well, the plot ends when you free the worker, but of course you can continue playing, a new game slot opens, and when you start playing it, you lose everything, only experience and skills remain, but it's quite challenging... and before you reach the level , when he will destroy enemies in clashmob (like lv 1000), so it will take a long time :-D I recommend saving up for the infinity blade itself and then exchange it for a villa, which you get by destroying the two enemies down under the bridge from the beginning...
yes, so something like in the first one, when you kill the boss - the boy on the throne, a glowing alien blue ball appears, then the end credits, and you start attacking the opponent again, starting at a higher level. and so on...
That's not true at all with the number one. The kind and more explanatory ending is after opening the door in the cellar. And it's the same with the two. Although you complete it by finding the Worker, as you go around, other side corridors and quests open up for you thanks to items and scrolls. I've finished it several times and I still don't think it's over, there's still one place that opens an item I haven't picked up yet.
That's bullshit...
just like any other game. :)
One of the dumbest and most boring games I've ever played on iOS. In fact, most of the time, you just have to swipe your finger around the display... It's like Avatar in the cinematography... It looks nice, but it's completely useless ;-)
What about the weapon upgrade? I always sold them when they were mastered, because they didn't jump out at me with experience. From the article, however, it appears to me that having a mastered weapon is actually a chore. So how is it really?
