A way to piss you off in 10 min or less – Infinity Blade III Review

If you like a game where its artificial difficulty run rampant, this is the game for you. I’ve played about a week and a half on this game and have gotten some of the highest tier gear in the game through lots of grinding. The first play through is fun and is identical to the way it was on the first game. However as you beat the game over a few times it gets to the point where your health and damage are so minuscule that as a level 42 on new game 3 I die in roughly 4 hits. The higher level titans also have gradual damage inflicting attacks that stack damage which WILL drain all your health in seconds with no way to actually defend against it. The attacks are so quick that if you’re hit even once, you will be stunlocked to death after you get hit 3 or more times in succession without a chance to dodge, block or parry the oncoming attacks. The only weapons capable of killing titans at a somewhat fair DPS are the 2 handed weapons which will leave you to only parry or block attacks. Blocking is absolutely useless unless you miraculously find that sweet spot for a perfect block in order to negate all damage through the shield which 99% of the titans will have, past new game 1. Not to mention the completely unparryable advanced attacks from the first game, using a weapon that strips your mobility and leaves you as a still standing punching bag with no chance of actually avoiding any damage taken. To add to the mix of broken designing, the attacks are near unreadable unless you memorize the attack patterns of each titan model. The game has potential but as of right now it’s a broken heap of disappointment and enraging fights.
