Hyper Light Drifter vs Infinity Blade III
Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter is an action-adventure RPG with a very unique pixel-based art style and a fun gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The storyline in this game is pretty bleak since you play as a drifter who happens to have an odd but vicious disease that keeps haunting your thoughts and dodging your every move. By traveling to the dark and savage lands of Buried Time, you hope to find a way to finally be free of this illness.Being ill, you aren't exactly in your fighting prime and so, instead of relying on your frailing strength, combat in this game mainly involves dashing away to avoid blows and trying to strike the enemy in between dashes. In some way, it may feel like being the less burly underdog in a WWE match. There are plenty of weapons to help you though, along with a variety of incredible skills which you can master.
The world you play in is also quite vast, with plenty of hidden nooks and crannies - usually with a bonus reward in them - for you to find. In addition to the story mode, there is a horde mode (endless) as well where you can truly put your combat skills to the test. However, one of the best things about this game is the soundtrack which somehow seems to complement the game's graphics and its overall atmosphere perfectly.
With the unique pixel art and the old-school feel, Hyper Light Drifter may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you do enjoy such games, you'll find that this game is truly a hidden indie gem.
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.
