Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires vs Infinity Blade
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is another Empires spin-off from the main Dynasty Warriors franchise. It combines the repetitive hack and slash that the series is so famous for with a more strategic, Risk-like gameplay where you'll not only need to get your hands dirty in actual combat, but also make important military decisions based on your role as a leader of an army.However, many players have said that this game is definitely a step down from the 7th installment. Not to mention, like Dynasty Warriors 8, this PC port is plagued with the same control issues if you use the mouse and keyboard combo, but the problems go away once you switched over to using a controller. So, if you plan on buying this game, make sure you have a controller ready.
That being said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is definitely the sort of game that caters to fans of the game series and may also appeal to some fans of strategy games, but as mentioned, despite being the newest, it's certainly not the best game in the spin-off series - it is merely a somewhat decent one.
Infinity Blade
Infinity Blade is an epic RPG for iOS that was developed on an engine that many triple-A standalone games are built on. Based on the novel series of the same name by Brandon Sanderson, the game has a somewhat cliché yet inspirational storyline where you play as the hero of the people who embarks on a journey to dethrone the ruthless God King and vanquish his legion of Titans in hopes of finally ending the legacy of darkness he has created.The gameplay in Infinity Blade is both intuitive and easy to learn. With a mere swipe of the finger, for example, you can attack, dodge, block and cast spells to slay your enemy. The character customization in this game is astonishingly in-depth as well, featuring a seriously wide range of equipment to acquire, skills to master and a hero to level up.
Infinity Blade proves to other game developers and gamers alike of what is possible even on the seemingly “casual” mobile platform. If you own an iOS device and enjoys a good RPG, this game might just be the game you need!
