Infinity Blade II slays the competition
The first instalment of Infinity Blade really was a hit. Winner of the 2011 Apple Design Award and victorious in over 20 “Top App” and “Game of the Year” awards, Infinity Blade wowed the press and attracted a legion of fans. On its December 1st release date, Infinity Blade II slayed its way to the number one spot of Apple’s app store chart with ease. Will fans be disappointed or does this game deliver on its promise to push limits of mobile gaming?
Visually Stunning
You know Infinity Blade II is going to be special when the title is name dropped at the keynote speech for the iPhone 4S release. Playing on the latest iPhone and iPad, allows you to optimise the power of the A5 chip and Unreal Technology, which enhances the lighting and shading effects to new levels. This means sharper shadows, stronger lighting, greater textures and layers upon characters and the surrounding environment as you seek for the next battle.
**Expansive Game **
The God King has been defeated and now is the time to uncover the truth behind the secrets of the Infinity Blade. With 40 new locations to explore and a whole host of new weapons and spells, there are enough new features to confirm this as a true sequel to the original. Character customisation has evolved giving you freedom to create and forge even more powerful weapons along your quest.
Better Combat Experience
Combat within each battle has become even more unique. With heavier weapons you’ll gain power but sacrifice your speed – make sure every strike counts! The ability to battle with two swords, opens up an array of combinations to defeat your enemies. If you’re the type of gamer who survives by dancing around your enemies with constant dodging, beware – this approach will drain your endurance bar and you’ll be punished with damages.
With additional features to take advantage of iCloud support and HDMI output, the latest release from ChAIR entertainment appears far from a shameful sequel with limited new features. Infinity Blade II has taken grasp of all the latest technology; iOS 5, the A5 processor, iCloud support, to create a game that pushes the realm of mobile gaming on a par with that of leading consoles.
