Infinity Blade II vs Mount & Blade
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!
Mount & Blade
Mount & Blade is the first game in a highly popular game franchise that boasts of being an RPG with one of the most sandbox-like gameplay ever. In this game, you can play as anyone you like be it a lone adventurer, a military commander or even the "mayor" of a small town in Calradia. The game also provides a rich and open world, allowing you to travel anywhere you like and discover all manner of points of interest ranging from farm villages to massive castles. You even have the freedom to interact with hundreds of characters, some of which will likely be hostile towards you. Due to this, the game provides you with an intuitive combat system that includes both sword-fighting and fighting on horseback that you can use to dispose of the hostile.Mount & Blade is an old game, and as such, its graphics may be a bit dated and its controls feel rather clunky. Thus, the game by itself might not be worth the money, but if you can get it along with Mount & Blade Warband or Mount & Blade With Fire and Sword - the two other and much better games in the series, then it'll be worth getting it.
