It's basically a slightly different take on IB. If you liked IB you'll like this. I don't know whether I'm ready to play another IB as I got bored after a while but I'm willing to give this a go because these guys make the best of games.
I have to say, despite its lovely visuals, Storm Blades in itself is actually a pretty hollow experience, devoid of any fun. Playing the game, I neither have any idea who I am, not what I'm doing there. As far as I can tell, my character likes to run around a lot, swing a sword, and jab it into rocks. I don't know who I'm fighting or why I should. It's as if all story and depth has been stripped from Infinity Blade and was then replaced by a string of joyless battles where all you need to do is block a few times then swing the sword like crazy. There's a lot of wasted potential here that has long since been sucked down the drain. Still...I'm sure many of you will point out, it was free. There is no real commitment either way, so by all means, play the game and feel guiltless.
Thanks for the video, @redribbon and @touchy85. BTW, the game is released in US Store now, and it requires iOS 8.0. So I'm upgrading my device now...
This game rocks!!! It really is a fresh take on Infinity Blade. Instead of guessing what move counters what, there is a definitive way to counter and dodge and attack. I'm really digging this. Plus more blades to collect and upgrade (each with different attributes). Wow devs.....just wow EDIT: Uh oh, I closed the game and opened it back up. I was on level 12 I believe, and was using the 2nd sword with lvl 2 upgrade. When I opened the app, I'm back to level 4 and don't have the 2nd sword. Playing on 5S 8.1.2 if that helps any....I'll update if I find anything else
Ok yeah, there is a definite save issue. I played again up a few more levels and maxed out the 2nd sword. Force closes app and brought it back up....back to the last level opened as lvl 4 and the 2nd sword again not in my possession. I'm logged in through Facebook, so I assumed that would ensure the save file was solid.....well, I don't know what to do. I think my save file is stuck where I was at on lvl 4.....

Hmm no tnx,my device is now very slow,updating ios 8 it will be fail,and old good IB is mother for all this alike games.
Great video. Made me like it more. I'll be keeping this for a while. I wonder about replayability as I've played Subway Surfers almost everyday for years. How about this? I'd love it more if they'd make it like SS to be played for years.
You actually bring up a valid point, but it was actually pretty fun for me. IB titles have usually been on the strategic, more reactive side of things, and Kiloo IMO did a great job of tweaking the formula into a more fast-paced, arcade-like experience rather than the usual IB titles trying to be massive action-rpgs and somehow not fitting the description. Because of the increase in pacing and the more arcade-like structure of Stormblades, it turned out i was having a blast playing it.
Are there any ads in the game? Also, I was hoping there would be an Essence Doubler so I could throw a few bucks at Kiloo, but it looks like all IAP is consumable.
Until now, Spoiler I play to level 5 , I don't see any ads. And I hope that it will continue doing it. BTW, which apps you used to record the video, dude?
I'm very interested to know what depth this game has. So far I don't see any other weapons or characters. Or even a story. Is there an end goal?
