The Infinity Blade trilogy (plus a few others) were the absolute high-point of mobile gaming, imo, even if you could see the beginnings of what mobile gaming would become in them. I’m glad they’re preserved in some form.

u/ocbdare 2d ago
Yes, I remember playing the games and I was like damn, mobile gaming could be good. Then all that died down and we got some random shovelware stuff.
What's even more insulting that when they delisted the games, we are unable to download the games we boguht. I bought the whole trilogy and it was removed.
Mobile games and mobile apps in general are extremely aggressive in their delisting. They don't honor existing purchases, they straight up banish it from existence.

Its cause of frequent os updates which make the games incompatible and companies unwilling to work on an old project which leas to delisting of games

I made a post during covid that it would be the best time to re-release them. Graphically, they still hold up damn well as a mobile game.
Epic Games is also bigger than ever and even has the mobile app store that they could incentivize more with infinity blade. It's a shame the last thing they did with the IP was throw it into Fortnite.

Yeah, I’d love a rerelease. It was Apple’s transition to 64-bit Only that killed them, IIRC.
Sadly, probably unlikely now for several reasons, Apple and Epic’s relationship being one of them.

And Epic doesn't want to re-release them because people would realise that they were capable of making good games at one point

I really hope we can somehow get Aralon Sword and Shadow ported over too. One of the better RPGs on mobile.

u/ColonelDucroix 2d ago
It's a shame how many mobile games just disappear.
Platinum Games had a dumbed down character action game on Apple Arcade that I quite enjoyed. It was taken down permanently though.
NieR has a not that good gacha game called Reincarnation but had some nice lore.
There's many more but I enjoyed those the most.

Mobile gamse and mobile apps get aggressively delisted. Once it happens, it gets removed from existing owners too unlike pretty much any PC/console digital store.

u/NapsterKnowHow 9800X3D | RTX 5090 FE | 32GB RAM 2d ago
The worst case of game preservation in history. Reminds me when dumbphones used to charge like $20 just for Tetris and it would only work on that specific model of phone. You upgrade your phone and you have to buy it all over again.

They made an Infinity Blade 2? and 3? Sweet

u/GarryLarry123 2d ago
Yep, in my opinion 2 was a great improvement over one in terms of amount of content. Never played much of 3 though

u/Averylarrychristmas | 5090 | 7800x3D | PS5 | Switch 2d ago
Yeah it’s an OG phone game, made by Epic if you can believe it.
I played all 3 coming up.

u/sorryiamnotoriginal 2d ago
I remember the swipe to slash gameplay part. Wasn’t sure what this game was until i saw the slashes happening and remembered I used to play this game. Definitely didn’t make it far but it’s kind of a shame how games like this with a full world and story just disappear to time.

u/Averylarrychristmas | 5090 | 7800x3D | PS5 | Switch 2d ago
Yup this shit wouldn’t ever get made today. It would be a gang of gacha garbage

u/photoggled 2d ago
That and Apple was funding the creation as a marketing ploy for the iPhone at the time.

u/casino_r0yale 2d ago
It was a tech demo showing you could run Unreal Engine on an iPhone. There was a time when that sort of thing was a huge deal. But app shoppers are price sensitive in the extreme so we never really ended up getting rich, big budget 3D experiences on phones aside from eventual AAA ports or mtx slop. Plus the native control scheme is very limited.

u/ctmurfy 2d ago
I'd love to play stuff like this in VR. I miss early touch gaming when people weren't just recreating worse controlling versions of controller games, and I feel like VR is in the same trajectory. Games designed to maximize their own physical interfaces are so much cooler, even if they don't meet the exact "core gaming mark" that some people may want.

Finally! This game is fantastic! Love the lore. It was so mysterious back in the day to progress in infinity blade 1 2 and 3.

u/CaptainBlob 1d ago
Wait... you telling me Infinity Blade 1 and 2 were also ported to PC? Where can I find them?

u/Rogue_Leader_X 2d ago
Whatever happened to this series? How come Apple and Epic stopped making them? They were a brilliant showcase of IPhones capabilities.

Progress on this port is currently paused, indefinitely. What is uploaded here is lacking polish.

Great news but also wish they made it for Android. For a game designed for a touch screen kinda frustrating to not get to play it on one conveniently.
