Every "boss" you meet has like two sentences of dialog before they say something about spilling your blood.

The story never gets you invested in the characters, their motivations, or your main characters quest. The beginning plot device is "I have this sweet infinity blade, I'm gonna free the worker" Free the worker only to be betrayed? Why? "Because you're the one who put me here" Oh my, the plot thickens to the point that I can't see behind the lame attempt at something beyond "The princess is in another castle"

This year we had over a dozen games that came out that define gaming, rise it to levels never before attained. These triple A titles don't deserved to be grouped with Infinity Blade.

Btw dude, while I agree with your point that the plot is pretty thin, you still just totally blew the ending for everyone who hasn't beaten the game yet. Might wanna put that badboy in some spoiler text.

How about a f****** spoiler alert while you argue? Which is obviously not what this thread is for. I'm glad I know everything that happens in this game now thanks to you.

If this game were on any other platform it would be thrashed. This isn't the only game that gets high marks due to its platform, i.e. Mage Gauntlet. Why do iOS games get a free ride from honest review and criticism?

Mage Gauntlet was awesome. Even if it just a simple throwback to the days of hack n' slash yore with light RPG elements and somewhat strategic hacking and slashing, I absolutely loved those games. Great sense of humour too. The game effin' ruled.

What I like about both Infinity Blades is that the plot is not totally clear. Everything is not spelled out and you make your own theories on why things happen the way they do.

1-Anyone defeat any boss fights using a light weapon? 2- anyone else not getting alot of loot? I'm getting such little loot, that I'm thinking about buying the $4.99 gold iap, the little loot I've had I had to spend on better equipment.

Someone please put this jonisx dude on time out.

I apologize, I fixed it. But honestly, you kinda knew it was going to happen from the start.

What can I say?! I am in one of those moods I guess. Not often that I converse with whining/complaining [redacted]s on this forum. I mean I could, but I choose not to (once again, MOST of the time ) but his last post was actually worth a damn! Read on if you dare...

Child?! hahaha. Well this post is actually worth a f*ck. You actually explained why in a intellectual manner why you felt the plot didn't have an substance. That's how I want to converse. To each his own though! I felt the story was entertaining enough, and like I said, I read the book, which brought light to a lot of elements in the story that would seem mundane to the average person who didn't read it. My apologies. You didn't enjoy it, that's fine. Don't see the point though why you would so casually give a s*it to post on a forum dedicated to the game itself, just... complaining the whole time and arguing back and forth about your complaints. *shrugs*

I will agree with you, though, that there are a few other games that have come out on the appstore that have a far superior storytelling style, or story alone. I just particularly like this one is all. ^.^

Runs much better man, let's just say it's actually playable without having to do ridiculous steps just to play it. I would caution you though, play from like the second save slot or third (any slot other than the first). I had this bug where it started my character over from on the first slot when I restarted the app. Seems to have no effect on the other save slots though.

Thanks for explaining yourself better. I came here just to see what people liked about the game, to see if it was just novelty that makes everyone seem to enjoy it.

OK, even after the patch the game is barely playable in some fights due to the low framerate.

The first time the game REALLY slows down is when first entering the tower and fighting against the very first enemy in it. It gets so slow that one cannot swipe with any precision. The game turns into a slideshow.

I play on a iPod touch 3G.
