A Real Step Back – Infinity Blade III Review

I loved infinity blade 1 and 2, they're definitely one of my favorite games on the App Store to this day. However infinity blade 3 took these great games and proceeded to ruin them. The first thing that strikes me is the combat. What was once a fast paced battle in which your fight was based purely on skill has devolved into a grind/pay to win fight. The second thing that was made into a shadow of its former self was the speed of enemies and your own attacks. In previous installments the rhythm of attacks whas "hithithithithit" or if you combo attacked "hithit, hit, hit, hit" now basic attacks are similar to "hit. hit. hit. hit." Increasing the time to battle to several minutes each.
