Infinity Blade uses the iOS version of Epic’s ubiquitous Unreal engine to create a gaming space that at first seems an unlikely fit on a phone. #WinterRoyale by Chair Entertainment and published by Epic Games for the iPhone and iPad, Infinity Blade is so beautiful, so effortlessly engaging, and so much damn fun that you will wonder what kind of hoodoo magic is going on in your phone or pad to make such an experience possible. There's like 9 planes all fake shooting each other looking like reavers from firefly. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen in a competitive game. It's pretty amusing, but does not great esports viewing make. It turns out that bumming around in the air is a rather good tactic for staying alive, with players only pretending to shoot at each other to maintain a temporary truce while waiting for a smaller circle. The problems with the new updates don't end there, however, as esports players have discovered a rather (air)crafty of using Fortnite's new planes to their advantage. If your team is given the side of Polar Peak - where the sword appears - one player can rack up a huge amount of kills before the other team can wrestle it back. Its presence in LTMs such as Team Rumble, for instance, gives one team a huge advantage depending on which side of the map they spawn on. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.ĭiscontent with the Infinity Blade also goes beyond the world of esports, as the oversized paper knife hasn't been popular with regular Fortnite players either. Players now want the Infinity Blade to be given its own LTM like the Infinity Gauntlet. I'm still upset it wasn't a 50 v 50 LTM, though. Those who wanted to transform into the giant purple megalomaniac could choose to do so separately from the regular battle royale mode, which also meant it didn't infiltrate the competitive tournaments. Alongside having practically the same name, Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet had similarly ridiculous powers: the difference was this item was confined to its own limited time mode (LTM). Those who know their Fortnite history will remember Epic added a similar item to the game earlier this year.

The Infinity Blade's ability to bulldoze structures makes it an incredibly powerful late-game item: just take a look at this clip of Psalm quite literally demolishing the opposition in one of the North American matches. It gives the bearer an extraordinary advantage: 200 health, 200 shield, the ability to leap great distances and to deal 75 damage with each swing.Īs a brief glance at the Winter Royale hashtag will tell you, the sword has managed to completely unbalance the game - and its inclusion in Fortnite's seasonal tournament is causing chaos in a competition with a prize pool of $1m. The Infinity Blade, added in yesterday's patch, is a one-off item that can now be picked up in Fortnite's main game mode. It's been about 24 hours since Epic introduced the latest change to the ever-evolving Fortnite - and in that short amount of time, it has managed to pretty much unite the game's community, although perhaps not in the way you'd think.
