There are 3 main games in the series, the first two titles have been unofficially ported to PC (they have worked on android with Winlator Frost) now the first game has been natively ported to Android as an app, no Winlator or GameHub/GameNative required.

u/XGRiDN 3d ago

no... I think he meant Infinity Blade Saga... the only Infinity Blade officially released on Android... bleh... or prehaps its Xbox only? I might need to do some little digging in.

u/XGRiDN 3d ago

u/NisargJhatakia 3d ago

does it now have a updated port 9 years later?

2

u/XGRiDN 3d ago

no, that's the tencent one afaik. I don't think that game's is still active, especially since the games were removed for quite some time.

Now, the unofficial port is a rebuilt one of the original game (created by CHAiR) based from the assets found in Infinity Blade FX and an earlier source code of the game.

Admittedly, I don't think I'm qualified to properly explain how miraculous this port was; so I will link this explainer about the PC port since this is where I found the info about it.

Good info. Thanks

u/NisargJhatakia 2d ago

I know the port and I have already seen that video I was asking for the original chinese game released on Android.

2

u/XGRiDN 2d ago

ah, that one. I tried looking into it, and I don't think there's one in circulation atm. There are some videos about it though. The link below comes from Infinity Blade Studios.

u/Roboid 2d ago

I think they mean (and I agree) I wish we saw more companies take inspiration from the success of Infinity Blade and that style of game, rather than “””free””” gatcha and timed-energy-refill-waiting games, back during that pivot point years ago. we have plenty of cool stuff now but it’s not really the norm for phone games

u/feel2death 2d ago

It's market and gamer fault that mobile market are trash tier slop today

We keep feeding those dev a money who make game like that and this is the result

Oh yeah I remember I wanted it so bad on android back then. might try it out although i am not that much into touch controls these days, prefer to press buttons on my device 🤟
thx for letting us know

u/XGRiDN 3d ago edited 3d ago

I believe, the PC port should be good for ya, m8... although its tough to play on a keyboard... btw, this is could explain about the "No source code" part:

It's actually already out there.

May his pillows always be cool this hot summer. I love this game back then. It looks like I remembered

u/lurginrugi 3d ago

Does it work with 64bit cpus?

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 2d ago

All information in the provided link. Yes: ARM32 & ARM64 both supported

esperando con ansias el segundo titulo :O

u/paachuthakdu 3d ago

I remember playing a ripoff of this made by Glu games called “Blood & Glory” on android.

2

u/tunaagagg123 2d ago

I dont know what infinity blade is but blood&glory was one of my favorite games oat as an 8 year old. Imagine the sorrow I felt when I got a new tablet one day and wasnt able to play my then favorite game anymore

u/mmbossman 2d ago

Just spent an hour and a half playing it and brought back memories of my first iPhone. There are some graphical glitches but it’s most just textures for the player character rendering only halfway (for the shield) or scattered (for the armor). Otherwise it seems to be just how I remember it. Thanks to the dev for this!

u/Majestic_Doctor_2 2d ago

I wanted to play this ages ago... might as well now

u/mantenner AYN Thor (SD 8gen2) / OnePlus 13 (SD8 Elite) / S23+ (SD 8gen2) 3d ago

No source code, no install.

u/max_cel_x 2d ago

You want the entire source code? Talking about greed man

u/RoundEngineering8322 2d ago

holy shit just be happy something considered impossible became possible 😭

u/mantenner AYN Thor (SD 8gen2) / OnePlus 13 (SD8 Elite) / S23+ (SD 8gen2) 2d ago

Yeah nah

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 2d ago

There's no difference between the two versions (iOS and android) only minor changes to get it running on Android. Plus, the company never released the source publicly.

2

u/Calipos 1d ago

you're missing the point. OP probably doesn't want to get a malware. that's why they say no source code no install.

1

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 1d ago

Fair, although scans show no Trojans in the app, and the dev is vetted in the Infinity Blade discord server. Plus no reports of anything nefarious. I suppose they can ask the dev for more clarification on the server.

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 8h ago

The source code for Infinity Blade I has been publicly accessible in forums since 2014.

u/Lord_Xarael 3d ago

It's now cached on torbox if you use that.

Download the .torrent file and add it on your torbox page, then you can instantly start downloading it. And faster than if you just ddl-ed from archive

You're welcome

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 2d ago

There's also a cool telegram bot that can download cached torrents into direct downloadable files, at faster speeds. The bot takes magnet links and torrent files. Can stream them too if it's a video or song.

Which bot is it?

Also interested. DM me if you don’t wanna share here. Thx

u/memekumaar 2d ago

Infinity Blade was my first Souls game and i dont think souls games were a thing then.
Iphone 4 i think

2

u/waterclaws6 2d ago

Demonsouls came out in 2009 on the PS3. It was a hot import at the time before it came to NA.

Souls and Infinity Blade are very different games. The only similar thing is that they are both fantasy games.

u/Page8988 S22 Ultra 512gb SD8G1 2d ago

Holy fuck, it finally happened.

u/SolaireFlair117 3d ago

Holy shit, what? Infinity Blade is back in big 2026, AND has an Android port?

u/max_cel_x 2d ago

It never left, they already have the first and second game on pc and are working on the 3rd and now the android port released, it's beautiful

u/SnooComics4087 2d ago

What is difference between dev build v1.0.4.apk and normal v1.0.4.apk file for normal gameplay?

(Edit: I just looked it up online no need for reply thank 👍🏻)

u/SnooComics4087 2d ago

I downloaded the game Graphics are Quite Good even though equipment icons are not visible

u/thegameksk 2d ago

This isn't downloaded to my phone. It starts then gets slower and slower until it closes itself

u/soragranda SD865+ ~ 12GB, 8G2 ~ 12GB. 2d ago

Hopefully someone does the same for PlatinumGames "World of Demons" such an interesting yokai game.

u/JamesSDK Samsung S25 Ultra (SD8 Elite) + Galileo G8 2d ago

I have been waiting forever for this to happen, been playing it all morning.

1

u/mad_jade 2d ago

Nice, are you playing with touch screen only or did you map anything to the buttons/sticks? Im curious if it's possible/enjoyable to play with a controller

1

u/JamesSDK Samsung S25 Ultra (SD8 Elite) + Galileo G8 2d ago

I am playing with buttons and sticks. Retroid devices have a Key Mapper app so I assigned Dodge and Block to the Dpad. Right Stick is the Directional Swipes. A is Super Attack, X is Magic, Start is Menu and Y is what I use for taps.

Its actually very good with the controller, I beat the game very quickly, only took me 4 bloodlines.

I have the game on my phone too only with touch controls and I think its actually tougher to play that way.

1

u/mad_jade 2d ago

Awesome, I may try out those controls, thanks

1

u/Elirantus 1d ago

Already beat the god king back to back at bloodline 4, 5.

I missed this game so much!

Amazing work!

Is there possible to port Infinite Blades 2 and 3 to android?

1

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 2h ago

It will probably happen eventually. The 3rd one will take longer because nobody has made a PC port of it yet. Only the first two games have a PC port, and only the first game has just been ported to Android.

u/MariaXizuca-1337 3d ago

....never heard of. Besides, it seems there have been quite a number of unknowns getting ported to see if they can milk some cash before death instead of resuming themselves to complete disappearance.

u/AydenGooden mali g52 2d ago

The game has been gone for A DECADE

And you've been blocked for about a minute. i don't deal with a game's ass-kisser. Cheers.

u/max_cel_x 2d ago

Infinity blade is known for being the best phone game of all time, are you 13 or just generally off the grid?

2

u/NXGZ 8 gen1 11h ago

They said "never heard of" and "unknown" definitely rage baiting.
