Infinity Blade III is an action role-playing game for iOS, developed by Chair Entertainment and Epic Games. It is the third game in the Infinity Blade series of video games. It was released on the App Store on September 18, 2013. The main characters of the game are Siris and Isa, and it is intended to be the final game of the Infinity Blade trilogy.

Plot

The game begins by playing a short video, Infinity Blade Origins. It explains the history of the Infinity Blade, how the Worker forged it, and his true identity as the "Father of the Deathless" and "Creator and Destroyer of All."

Starting where Infinity Blade: Redemption ended, the God King Raidriar, armed with the Infinity Blade, tracks down the Worker of Secrets to his stronghold. Raidriar defeats two of the worker's minions, one of whom wields a new Infinity Blade. Raidriar fights the Worker, but is swiftly defeated. The Worker makes clear his plan to 'cleanse' the planet in order to destroy all the Deathless and offers Raidriar a chance to join him. Raidriar refuses, and teleports the Worker's datapad away to a place where Siris can find it. The Worker then uses the new Infinity Blade to kill Raidriar.

Back at a secret hideout, Isa wakes up after having been turned into a Deathless and dying for the first time. Together, she and Siris set out to stop the Worker of Secrets' plans.

In Act 1, the Anomaly, Siris travels to Larioth to find the God King. After meeting a merchant and killing several Daerils, he finally arrives at Raidriar's study to find that another fake God King is posing as Raidriar. Siris defeats the fake God King easily, but he teleports away before Siris can get any information. Siris takes the Infinity Cleaver and the datapod that Raidriar sent him, and teleports back to their stronghold.

In Act 2, Buried in the Past, Isa, who has recovered, is looking for other Infinity Weapons in an excavation in the Seccian Desert. She finds a vault filled with slots of various The Infinity Weapons, but Terrovax stops her. After defeating Terrovax, she gains information from him about clues leading to the other weapons.

In Act 3, the Right Weapon, Isa goes to rescue Jenson, the Blacksmith, who has been captured by Raidriar. After fighting in the Broken tower, she finally finds a prison that Jenson is held in. However, a QIP abomination of Thane intercepts her, and she has to fight it. After slaying the beast, Isa frees Jenson and the two return to the Hideout. In Siris's Act 3, Siris heads towards the Pit, seeking The Killer of Dreams. Inside the Pit, Siris battles a Titan and a Monstrosity before fighting Therin. Siris kills Therin and takes away his spear.

In Act 4, Revelations, Siris goes back to his castle in Saranthia in search of the Redeemer. He succeeds, and tells Eves to modify the QIP of the datapod, while telling Jenson to reconfigure the Redeemer, preparing to erase the memory of Galath. In Isa's Act, she travels to the House of Kor to battle Lelindre, Mistress of the End. While Lelindre defeats Isa, she spares her and tells her the location of the secret lair of the Worker. She also gives her the Infinity Daggers.

In the last acts, Siris and Isa both head out to the Ark to stop the Worker from destroying the world. After battling Titans, Monstrosities, and the Dragon herself, they arrive outside the Worker's "throne". The worker tells the fake Raidriar to defeat Siris and join him on the Ark, but Isa tells Siris to go after Galath while she stays to fight the God King. This time, the Soulless is almost as strong as the real Raidriar, but Isa manages to defeat him, even though she is badly wounded. Siris stops Galath from getting in the Ark, challenging him to a fight. After an intense battle, Siris's Cleaver is parried away from him and drops down the ledge of the walkway. Galath holds Siris by the neck, telling him that he will "unmake the world as he please, just like he will unmake him." However, Siris twists around and sends the infinity Blade into Galath's chest instead. Galath mocks him, saying that the blade he created will not kill him, but Siris inserts the Redeemer inside the blade, erasing Galath's memory. Isa saves Siris by teleporting him back to the Hideout, and the world is saved.

In the post-credits scene, a child is seen building a sand castle that resembles the Worker's tower in which the Ark is held. This child is presumed to be the Worker, reborn as a child with his memories erased.

Reception

Justin Davis of IGN gave the game a rating of a 9.1 "Amazing", calling it a fitting end to the franchise. Davis stated that although not all of its ideas work, it is genuinely larger and more epic in score than its predecessors, lauding its "incredible" voice acting, "gorgeous" visuals, and "intense, rewarding combat".^[1]
