Griefhelm vs Infinity Blade III
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
Infinity Blade III
Infinity Blade III is the latest installment of the popular Infinity Blade series where you’ll join Siris, and his companions, Isa and the God-King Raidriar as they face the Worker of Secrets and his army of Deathless titans. Instead of playing as Siris, which you still can by the way, the game allows you to play as the stealthy female warrior-thief, Isa, as well. Each character will have access to uniquely different weapons and items, providing players with a replayability that’s not present in any of the previous games.The gameplay is still as amazing as usual, though the game world has seen a huge update, giving players a more stunning and immersive land to explore. You’ll also be able to set up a base of operations, called the Hideout, where you can recruit allies who happened to be skilled artisans who help you improve your combat capabilities and unlock new skills. The global ClashMob challenges are still present in this game, but like Infinity Blade II, these challenges are entirely optional.
Infinity Blade III is an impressive addition to the Infinity Blade series and is well-worth the money especially if you already got the first two games.
