Infinity Blade II vs Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X
Infinity Blade II
Infinity Blade II continues the storyline from the previous game by letting you reprise your role as the hero-savior, Siris. Being curiosity-driven, you’ll need to travel across the realm of the Deathless Saydhi to find clues as to unlock the mystery behind the Infinity Blade you now wield. Of course, being Infinity Blade, there will always be tyrants and Titans for you to slay via the game’s excellent action-based combat (now in three new styles) as well as a plethora of weapons to slay them with.The game has also improved on the game’s hallmark character customization, providing you with the option to now forge even more powerful items and infuse them with elemental powers and capabilities. Interestingly, the game has an optional ClashMob app where players can recruit friends to their respective mobs and participate in fun and massively social global challenges to reap amazing rewards.
Infinity Blade II definitely builds on the success of its predecessor and it has managed to do so successfully. A worthy sequel to add to your game library, I’d say!
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X offers a nice yet rather unlikely mix between two of the most celebrated animated masterpieces, Disney and Final Fantasy, that's set in the “Era of Lost Masters” within the timeline of the Kingdom Hearts lore. If you find this hard to wrap your head around... well, just imagine a Kingdom Hearts world that had just been Disney-fied. Indeed, this 2D game contains numerous references to popular Disney animated shows, characters and even locations like Agrabah from Aladdin.Aside from the Disney influence, fighting the Heartless in this game is something that's pretty easy to pick up since you'll mostly be tapping and swiping to swing that big and iconic keyblade of yours. Interestingly though, the game allows you to use a variety of abilities, ranging from healing effects to experience boosts, depending on the medal you use.
That said, Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X does pale in comparison to any of the games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and well, that's not exactly surprising considering that this game is free-to-play. However, if you love Disney and/or Kingdom Hearts, you'll definitely want to check this game out.
