They could either make combat engaging without potions and ridiculously easy with potions, or they could make combat impossible without potions and doable with potions (or any point along that scale). Previous Infinity Blade games balanced combat around the character’s level and equipment, but IB3‘s combat has to be balanced around potions as well. However, they’re only temporary, so they’re more like a one-time burst of strength that you’ll want to save for a boss battle or other tough fight. Some of them will give you additional elemental damage, some of them will heal you every time you successfully block, and so on and so forth. These potions have a variety of effects, usually boosting your combat ability in the next battle.
IB3 introduced a new element to the series: potions. But when I say “mana system paradox,” I mean “mana” as in consumable resources in general.
That’s cool, and I have no problems with it. To cast magic, you have to draw a little shape on the screen: a zig-zag will shock your enemy with lightning, or a wave pattern will invoke water magic. In 2013, a sequel, titled Infinity Blade: Redemption, was released.It’s strange for me to say “mana system paradox” because honestly, I’ve always liked Infinity Blade‘s magic system.
#ISA INFINITY BLADE FREE#
Siris and Isa part ways after this realization, with Siris heading out to free the Worker of Secrets and find a way to defeat all of the Deathless permanently. The warriors that had gone to fight the God King were revealed to be just countless resurrections of Ausar and the Ancestor, whose name is Archarin, was the son of one of the resurrections. Siris then wakes up in a healing tank similar to the one beneath the God King's castle, and learns he is a Deathless originally named Ausar. Isa kills Siris with a crossbow bolt so the God King cannot kill Siris permanently with the Infinity Blade. He kills her, but is captured by the resurrected God King, and the Infinity Blade is retaken by the God King. Isa remains behind as Siris takes on the champions of Saydhi one by one.Īfterward, Saydhi tells Siris where to go, but then attacks him. They travel to the lands of Saydhi, another Deathless, to learn from her where the Worker of Secrets, the creator of the Infinity Blade, is imprisoned so they can return the Infinity Blade to him. (In the game Siris completely activated the Infinity Blade after defeating the Ancestor.) They learn that the God King has been resurrected and that the Infinity Blade can only permanently kill a Deathless once it has been completely activated. While there Siris gains a partner of sorts in Isa, an assassin who is part freedom fighter and part self-serving mercenary. Siris returns to Lantimor, where he had defeated the God King. The elders of Drem's Maw force Siris to leave because they fear the other Deathless will attack Drem's Maw to reclaim the Infinity Blade. Siris, the final player character in Infinity Blade, returns to his hometown of Drem's Maw after killing the Deathless God King with his own sword, the Infinity Blade.
The story picks up from the main ending of Infinity Blade.
