Oh wow!
I gave up hope on this ever coming to Android/PC and went as far as to get an iPhone 7 (The last phone it apparently worked well enough on) just to play this.
Awesome to see, hopefully same thing is done for 2/3.
It is sad to think I consider these games among the top mobile games I've played, and it was really early in the smartphone life, now we just have to be happy with gachas apparently.

It actually looks quite nice still, even on a big ultrawide.

The touch controls while working well and the same is a different thing, having to click to the far reaches of the screen for dodging isn't as fast.

Yeah I was just thinking it probably wouldn't feel the same with a mouse.
Guessing it may be better on tablet, I'll give it a try on ROG Ally, maybe Deck if it works with proton.

This is that famous "look how good games can look on mobile" thing from years and years ago, right? Might give it a shot!

And this has lore written by Brandon Sanderson, right?

He's friends with them because of this and that's why one of his Mistborn characters ended up in Fortnite. The only Fortnite collaboration of a character that only exists in novels.

I played this a ton back in the day! I played IB2 a little less and I don't think I ever even touched IB3.

Will try to give this a shot for nostalgia's sake.

I was saying this in the Xbox thread a couple days ago, but if they are bringing back old cell phone games, they need to bring back the doom and Wolfenstein RPGs!

Not just lore, two books (that were good!) that are not optional reading to understand the quite well-imagined story of this franchise. There are some really excellent reveals if you play through. I'm sure they're mostly common knowledge by now but at the time it was like.... whaaaaaaat

Of fucking course Brandon Sanderson wrote two entire novels. He probably could write an entire trilogy based on a commercial for Pop Tarts he wrote.

That said, I did really want to play these games for his story in addition to how insane they were as a graphical powerhouse/showcase at the time, but I just did not have a phone that could run them. I might actually download it on my phone just a mess around when I'm offline.

To be fair they were both like 80 pages each, novella length. They slotted in between games, one between 1 and 2 and one between 2 and 3.

I've been wondering if Epic might fix these up a bit and re release them to fill out their iOS Europe app store at launch.

I never jumped out of my bed so fast to get this running. Looks fine on Steam Deck as well.

I have an old iPad 4 with IB1-3 games on it. I'm making sure it never dies.

I actually do miss some (older) mobile games, Infinity Blade would be one of them. Too bad most of them can't be downloaded/played anymore (bought lots of them on iPod touch and iPhone/iOS but switched to Android over the years). Cool that that modders brought this to PC now. Game was fun, looked awesome and played well enough on the touch screen.

I'd love to see the iOS Dead Space game get a rerelease. Hell, bring that Mass Effect cover shooter too.

There was a brief moment where iOS and Android seemed to start getting "real" games, and I was all excited. And then the reality set in and I went right back to consoles. Lol

Apple had Epic on stage whenever there was a new iPhone or iPad released to show off the graphics prowess on par with the then current consoles (PS3, Xbox 360) on the new devices. I'm kind of annoyed that we didn't get Shadow Complex 2 because of the crazy success these games had.

Then the mobile audience didn't want to pay for games and it all went away.

I did too. I also bought the Mirror's Edge 2D platformer for iPad that was pretty good. I have quite a few iOS games that have basically just evaporated because Apple killed 32-bit apps on iOS. There is some early work being done to get these games playable on PC but so far I only know of it working with Super Monkey Ball.

I've had the Doom RPG PC port on Steam Deck for a while now - enjoy!

Doom RPG Port Reverse Engineering Update (version 0.2.2) Source Code Release

As we promised, the Doom RPG port for PC is finally here. created using SDL2 and BREW version doomrpg.mod original file reverse engineering. This is my first port made for PC and I hope this works for you too. Special thanks goes to @Anarkavre as thanks to him we got the original Brew game files....

The original "holy shit" mobile game. Seeing that on phones / early tablets was mind blowing.

Just got this running on steamdeck and it works great. I'm swiping the touchscreen for attacks and using the dpad to dodge and block. Would love an official rerelease of the trilogy to modern systems, but this works in the meantime.

That's cool! I had all 3 games at one point on my iPad but lost them after the take down and I needed room before hand. I had 1 backed up, but it was an old non-64 bit version...

Since last year though I've actually been playing the Infinity Blade series by sideloading them on my M1 MBA. The built in trackpad controls along with Better Touch Tool to click and swipe specific areas mapped to keyboard works pretty nicely.

With all the extras this has this is probably the best way along with a touch screen enable device. Got an itch to try it out on the Surface later. Maybe on the Steam Deck too.

This and Chaos Rings are one of the first "(portable) console quality games on your phone" games I remember.

Fortunately Chaos Rings has official vita port (although only the third game is on the cartridge), and it's great to see Infinity Blade be preserved even though it's unofficial.

Wait how did they do this?

The art part I get though, all the assets for Infinity Blade were eventually released for free on the Epic Games Store. I think I might have used a bunch of their rocks or something

haha yeah, and they looked amazing at the time, especially Chaos Rings 2. But I was heavy into Square's mobile games. I remember loving Drakerider too which wasn't a great game but something about it always stuck with me. Think it was the battle system and music
