Despite this, the player may choose to explore different paths through the castle that serves as the central environment of the game, leading to various ends such as Thane's tower, the chamber containing the MX-Goliath, and the cavern of the Stone Demon.

Progression through the castle is halted every time the character enters a new room or encounters a new foe, giving the player a chance to search for loot (bags of gold are hidden throughout many scenes), equip or buy/sell weapons, gather information on upcoming enemies, and choose the next point in the path.

By contrast, when fighting with heavy weapons, dodging is unavailable, and the player instead must counterattack by blocking in the correct direction.

Successfully dodging, blocking, or parrying enough times in a row stuns the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to counterattack for a short period.

Mastering a piece of equipment increases its sale value but prevents the player from receiving any further experience points from using that weapon.

New to Infinity Blade II is a system of equipment modification through gems, which can imbue weapons with attributes.

Infinity Blade also features a NewGame+ mode which can be entered after the player beats the God King for the first time.

Isa appeals to Siris not to go further, but when he persists, she reluctantly explains that Saydhi will answer one question if he can fight his way to her by defeating her champions.

Suddenly, Raidriar (voiced by Alastair Duncan), The God King, appears behind Siris clutching the Infinity Blade.

However, before he can deal the fatal blow, Isa appears on a rooftop and shoots Siris in the head with a crossbow, killing him abruptly.

Siris awakes on a cot in an industrial-looking chamber, naked save for a loin cloth, realizing that he too is a Deathless.

He must now defeat three 'Blood Sentinels': the Archivist (voiced by Jim Cummings), in the library; the Stone Demon, beneath the arena; and a mortal (Exo-Pilot) who guards the seals with an MX-Goliath, a large robotic warrior suit.

When Siris defeats Thane, he unlocks the final seal in the floor, opening the way to the Vault of Tears where Galath, the Worker of Secrets (voiced by Simon Templeman) is imprisoned.

Siris journeys back to Saydhi's estate and rings a gigantic bell while calling out a challenge to the God King.

Finally, Siris knocks him out with a swift blow to the head and brings him back to the Worker of Secrets's eternal prison.

There, Siris dumps his still unconscious body and prepares to leave the cell with the Worker by stabbing the Infinity Blade into the seal.

Weak and disoriented, Siris watches as the Worker escapes with The Infinity Blade, leaving him locked up in the Vault with Raidriar, yelling in anger and regret.

In an expansion set, Siris seeks to discover his unknown past as Ausar the Vile, an evil and powerful Deathless who were feared by his friends and foes.

After obtaining all the Vile equipments, Siris journeyed back into the tower and entered a sacred underground tomb with TEL, his robotic canine-like servant.

Another expansion also featured a new roster of characters, the Petrified Noc, the Iron Hunter, and Xyloto who were locked in the Skycages on top of the Tower.

In a post-credits scene, Isa is shown walking toward the castle, presumably to rescue Siris from the Vault of Tears.

Infinity Blade II was created by Chair Entertainment, a subsidiary company of Epic Games.

[6] A Clashmob is a "massively social global challenge"[6] - that is, a collection of players all working individually to complete a single goal.

[11] The 1.3 Update "Skycages" was later released on August 2, 2012, which further expanded the types of enemies, introduced new weapons including the "Solar Transport Energy Blades", items, gems, and a new location featuring 3 boss battles.

It received a perfect score of 10/10 from IGN's Justin Davis (making it the first iOS game to do so), who stated that it is a "must own.
