Looks interesting. Review to come soon. J Milburn (talk) 13:26, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to mention in the opening lines that the game is set in a fantasy universe.
"God King" or "God-King"?
"The game follows a repetitive narrative structure in which the player ascends a castle in a quest to battle the primary antagonist, the immortal God King. In the introduction for the game, the player's character will be slain by the God King." I don't follow. Is the game deliberately non-chronological?
Presumably the character has a depleting health bar?
What happens if the character is killed? Drop back to an earlier save point?
Can the enemies continue becoming stronger indefinitely?
"the titular Infinity Blade has the ability to prevent immortals like the God King from resurrecting after death" Is there a way to acquire the blade?

This is a great little article- very well written, referenced and researched. I'll be more than happy to promote when you've fixed the small issues above. Note that I've also done some very light copyediting. J Milburn (talk) 13:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All done, except if the enemies get stronger indefinitely- I can't find a source on this, since of course reviewers only played the game for a few hours. The enemies scale roughly with your level, which since the first update is unlimited, but my only evidence is anecdotal (from me playing the game), so that may not be true. --Pres N 18:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great, solid improvements, I have no further issues. This is a great little article- very well written and referenced. I actually think, despite its short length, that it would have a chance at FAC; here's what I would recommend:

Make sure that what is written is backed up by the references. Spotchecks at FAC rightfully check that no original research has slipped in. I admit my spotchecks here were minimal, but they're more in-depth at the next level.
Improve the rationales on the non-free images; consider whether they are strictly necessary, and/or whether more information could be gleaned from different images.
As this is short, expansion can't hurt. A few more details in the "Legacy" section may be possible.
Perhaps a little more on the soundtrack? I know a lot of video game articles include it with a collapsed infobox and tracklisting. (Don't add an album cover, though.)

Anyway, that's only if you're interested in FAC. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help, but, right now, I'm happy to promote. Great job! J Milburn (talk) 00:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
