Infinity Blade is an action role-playing game.
In the primary portion of Infinity Blade, the player character travels a mostly linear path through a ruined castle and fights one-on-one battles with oversized enemies.
With Infinity Blade, in addition to combat, there is also a mild role-playing component. An experience points system levels up the player character and their equipment (weapons, armor, shields, helms, and magic rings).
Infinity Blade follows a cyclical narrative structure in which the protagonist and his descendants individually explore a castle in a quest to battle the primary antagonist, the immortal God King.
