Infinity Blade vs Shop Heroes
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!
Shop Heroes
Shop Heroes is an incredibly fun and addictive, medieval/fantasy shop simulation that has some RPG elements. In this game, you play as a shopkeeper with a newly established shop that provides various types of RPG adventurers with their weapons, armor, and accessories. As opposed to only selling them, you will also need to hire crafters to craft the said items, and each crafter has their own sets of skills while each item will require certain sets of skills to craft. Thankfully, you can hire more than one crafter (eventually) and hence, you will be able to produce more than a few selected categories of items later down the road.These items can then be sold to the RPG adventurers who approach you at your shop. Selling to them, however, usually means that you'll be selling at market price, though you are given the option to lower your prices to earn Hearts or use Hearts to inflate your prices. Since most adventurers would want a very specific item to buy, which you may not have available, you can also use Hearts to change their minds. Naturally, trying to suggest a closer alternative to buy would cost you fewer Hearts.
The game also has RPG elements where you can recruit and send adventurers into various dungeons to earn special crafting materials that these dungeons only provide. There's PvP as well, where you can assemble a team of 5 to battle a randomly selected player's team of your bracket. Not to mention, you can even group up with other shopkeepers via guilds and work together on weekly challenges to win freebies, in addition to cooperatively building up the guild facilities so as to obtain a better guild-wide buff.
Shop Heroes is a game that is one of its kind because it not only managed to flawlessly merge both shop simulation and RPG into a fun and exciting package, but also to provide its game completely free. You can advance, albeit at a slower pace, in this game without spending a single cent if you like, but of course, if you enjoyed playing the game, you might want to spend some cash just to show your support.
