The Best Mobile Game You Can't Play

tl;dr: fortnite is not funky fresh, funny 2010 mobile game is

Corrections: Not all Titans are Deathless. The reason you can fight multiple of the same Titan in a walkthrough is because there are more of their species. Also, every time the characters "teleport," it's them disintegrating, "self-immolating to free their QIP up for rebirth" (courtesy of the Archivist, thank you big guy).

Infinity Blade, Infinity Blade 2, and Infinity Blade 3 are incredible games that've been lost in obscurity. Now, the Infinity Blade is only found in Fortnite, which means that Infinity Blade gameplay and Infinity Blade lore are getting less and less popular. It's a tragedy. This is essentially the Infinity Blade movie. And finally, it's one of the best mobile games of all time, if not the best mobile you can't play.

The paragraph above is cringe, but it has to be done lol

If you have any questions about the music or visuals, or just directed at me personally, feel free to ask away!

I played all 3 infinity Blade games for hundreds of hours each as a kid. Game was legendary.

[semibreve]

This game series honestly introduced me to gaming as a child. I struggled to comprehend how a phone game could have this level of worldbuilding, and was hooked instantly

"Her Nostrils, both of them, were perpetually unclogged"
The main reason why everyone there wants to be a deathless

Imagine playing at a game with unbelievable graphics, story, animations, secrets, with no ads, and a good gameplay,
Yes, that was the peak of mobile games, and it doesn’t exists anymore…

To this day the Infinity Blade series are the only games I’ve actually paid money for on my mobile. Criminally underrated and a travesty more people never got to play them. Epic really dropped the ball not making a console version of all 3 stories into one game and releasing it on console/pc.
Great video covering the games/books and bringing this absolute gem back into light.

[cadethedoggo]

The mechanic of time actually passing was mind blowing to me as a kid, seeing that one tree grow larger every life, its a shame I never got around to beating it

[Akirabone]

Imagine a remake of this now. I would love to play this game again.

[turtels]

not me suddenly remembering these games at 11:00pm in march 2024, and then suddenly being really depressed that i can't play this anymore

[waspoptic]

I played the hell out of Infinity Blade and its sequels. It's story telling, from the perspective of a little kid, was the most intriguing thing ever. My jaw dropped in the second game when the Worker betrayed us and I got all teary when Raidriar in the third game died permanently. This was truly the best Mobile Game ever made.

On a side note; Mobile games back then use to have a lot more depth and originality compared to now, with arguably better graphics too

[TheArchivistIB]

Really great video! I love seeing people give an outside-looking-in perspective on the franchise for the uninitiated. The Infinity Blade community is still kicking and we won't let this franchise be forgotten.

[lamelukas]

Man I miss Infinity Blade, I probably put in hundreds of hours in all three games when I was younger so I felt really burned to see it reduced to nothing more than an OP weapon in fortnite that was removed in such a short time because they couldn't balance it out.

[paugirones]

Seeing a mech in a medieval fantasy setting was the biggest plot twist my 13-year-old self had ever witnessed so far.

[alascala]

The fact that they got Brandon Sanderson to write books for the games is legitimately insane. He is widely considered to be the current king of fantasy. Any fantasy forum you go to will note him as their favorite author. Whether that is r/fantasy or otherwise.

[JamesOfEarth]

A sad fact of most game creations; they’re bound to the hardware platforms in the era of their creation and then lost. Music, film, literature can all survive the ages, but most games become largely unavailable within a matter of years. Especially sad when you consider the insane amount of work put into most.

Man, this game series was lost in time. I remember playing all 3 games for so many hours and enjoying it thoroughly; especially the really hard levels that were really satisfying to progress through. I think this inspired a lotta people to play the original souls series

This game series had so many mysteries.

its made very clear Sirus/Ausar, Galath and Ryth (a special side boss in the games) where deathless prior to galath giving immortality to various people in his company (thane was likely the first of these). How did they gain their immortality?

One of the major plot points is Raidriar defeating Ausar at the plains of koroth then stabbing him with the redeemer which turned him into Siris, the problem is Ausar is consistently shown to be miles ahead of Raidriar in terms of skill, Sirus is literally just a worse Ausar skill-wise (until the end of IB3 where its implied he fully regained his memories) and repeatedly beat raidriar, this heavily implies Ausar may have deliberately lost.


What is heaven? the place the worker was leaving earth for, it appears to be a lunar colony but is it really that simple? and what shattered the moon?

one of the most goofy but important bits of lore is that the deathless all use conventional swords, shields, maces, etc as they've all agreed to a standard form of ritual combat. guns exist, nukes exist, a huge amount of futuristic weaponry exists, but they all keep to swords and shields for some reason (some melee weapons like the solar trans are futuristic though). its not like dune where melee weapons are explained with futuristic shields that only allow low-velocity objects in or whatever, sirus could have canonically just cheated by pulling out a gun on the worker and I genuinely question why he didn't.

I was determined to 100% the first game before moving onto the second, even though I purchased all three. I remember being infuriated realizing it was shut down before I could keep going, and I'm so glad someone shed light on this. Subscribed

[mteoh]

infinity blade finally getting its well deserved attention. this game was ahead of its time

[SuperBigjohn]

Infinity blade 2 was the bomb. Beat it several times and found all the secrets. I remember spending so much time crafting these ultimate gems and even watching YouTube tutorials for entering the negative(?) bloodline. I have a faint but fond memory of this game. I tried to unlock everything.

[jamesmoore]

I remember 100% all 3 games. Literally spent hundreds of hours on these games finding every little secret. I hate that they don’t get the love they deserve anymore.
