Baldur's Gate vs Infinity Blade II
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
Infinity Blade II
Infinity Blade II continues the storyline from the previous game by letting you reprise your role as the hero-savior, Siris. Being curiosity-driven, you’ll need to travel across the realm of the Deathless Saydhi to find clues as to unlock the mystery behind the Infinity Blade you now wield. Of course, being Infinity Blade, there will always be tyrants and Titans for you to slay via the game’s excellent action-based combat (now in three new styles) as well as a plethora of weapons to slay them with.The game has also improved on the game’s hallmark character customization, providing you with the option to now forge even more powerful items and infuse them with elemental powers and capabilities. Interestingly, the game has an optional ClashMob app where players can recruit friends to their respective mobs and participate in fun and massively social global challenges to reap amazing rewards.
Infinity Blade II definitely builds on the success of its predecessor and it has managed to do so successfully. A worthy sequel to add to your game library, I’d say!
