Infinity Blade half price, major update coming soon photo

If you have an iThing but you've not yet tried Chair's excellent battle 'em up Infinity Blade, then now is definitely the time to do so. It's half price for the time being, which is turbo-awesome because Epic Games said it would never lower it!

You can pick it up for $2.99 in the US and £1.79/€2.39 in the European territories.

As well as the price slash, Chair has stated (at a GDC panel that I wish I could've attended) that the game's next update is coming very, very soon. This should be the long-awaited major patch that includes an all-new dungeon area, enemy creatures that are more powerful than the God King, and competitive multiplayer. 

Infinity Blade is one of my favorite games of last year, and that's including console titles. Seriously, get it if you've not done so yet!

It's a great game. It reminded me so much of Demon's Souls aesthetically as well, which I loved (the God King above reminds me of Fluted Armor mixed with the Penetrator). GRIM DARK FANTASY equals instant win.

Yep, it's a pretty great game. It's the lovechild of Demon's Souls and Punch-Out!

I must be the only one who regretted buying it. It was fun for about an hour. Maybe an hour and a half. I just hated the repetition and the fact that pretty much every enemy could be beaten the exact same way.

I would get it, but I have a 3rd gen ipod touch 8gb (which really means it's a 2nd gen ipod touch) and I can't play it at all.

I sometimes chose to play this game over console games. I never thought that would happen.

Infinity Blade is an excellent game. The only thing that bugs me is what happens at the end; does the main character become the new God King or something? There seems to be some discontinuity between 'cycles' when the player actually succeeds.

Chair is just about the only thing keeping me interested in purchasing an i-what-have-you. Shadow Complex was golden, and I'm pretty sad I haven't gotten to play this yet. Good thing its tax season.

@sprldr:

Yes, when one of your characters kills the God King, he claims the Infinity Blade and replaces him, and then x number of years later, his son comes after him. "Win" or "Lose," It's a never ending cycle and that's the meaning of the game's name.

my first 2 playthroughs, I was unimpressed. 3rd playthrough, it got kinda challenging and I thought I had hope defeating the god king. 5th playthrough, I'm really mad I died last time.
