There is more voice acting this time around as well, and the music has a subtler hue – we actually fought one sequence with hardly a drum roll in it.

There is a wealth of detail here, be it the blossoms falling gently off a cherry tree, sunshine reflecting off a rapier, or the intricate designs on armour and weapons. If your jaw does not drop on seeing the graphics of the game, then we suggest a visit to the optician. The core idea, however, is the same – take on some sensationally sizeable enemies with exotic weapons one after the other, even while improving your character’s skills and looking around for goodies like treasure and the like.Īnother thing that remains the same is the presentation. You are Siris, a knight who had to avenge his father’s death and find someone known as the Worker of Secrets. Yes, the storyline is a bit deeper (well, any would be) than the first episode. And the developers have decided not to fix what ain’t broke, while adding a few embellishments to the game. Well, the game has spawned its first sequel, Infinity Blade 2, a few days ago. What, however, really marked the game out as special was its presentation – the graphics were console-level sensational and if the plot was paper-thin, no one really cared simply because the game looked so darned good! Gameplay was simple too – you moved your fingers across the screen to hack and slash and used onscreen icons to dodge and block blows. The plot was simple – you were a medieval warrior of sorts and had to wade through level after level of villains to finally knock over the boss and claim the sword known as the Infinity Blade. When the iPad was launched in 2010 (seems longer ago, doesn’t it?), one of the games used to showcase its prowess was Infinity Blade, a simple hack and slash affair with some RPG elements thrown in. Yes, we are THAT impressed by Infinity Blade 2.

Believe it or not – iOS’ killer gaming app just got a whole lot better.
