Infinity Blade vs Jade Empire
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!
Jade Empire
Jade Empire is a martial arts-themed action RPG where you get the freedom to choose to become either a noble hero or a treacherous villain. The game also provides you with a vast open world to explore and a host of interesting characters to interact with. As you play an aspiring martial arts master, you'll have access to a wide range of nicely-animated fighting moves and styles that you can mix and match. While you increase in your proficiency of the martial arts, your enemies' difficulty level will scale up accoridngly as well, so every battle you engage in will be as challenging as the next despite having better gear and skills.However, being a rather old game, the combat sequences may feel a bit choppy and awkward today. The graphics looks weathered as well. And if you want to play this game for its story, you might want to reconsider. Jade Empire is famous for mainly its cool moves and well-made combat system back then, and having a completely original and immersive plot isn't one of the selling points.
That said, there isn't a lot of oriental-themed RPGs out there and Jade Empire happens to be one of the best ones. If you love martial art games, you might want to try this game out.
