Chair's swipe-to-slice blockbuster Infinity Blade II is currently available at the knockdown price of $4.99 (it usually retails for $6.99).

Building on the superb foundation laid by Infinity Blade, this sequel boasts an additional three combat styles, a massively expanded world, and a global network of slashers with whom you can team up to defeat titanic enemies.

And while Infinity Blade's innovative combat system remains intact in this sequel, it's been refined and tweaked to near perfection.

The character levelling and customisation has also been lovingly buffed to a high sheen, and now offers significantly more depth than its predecessor.

If you remain unconvinced by that feature list, then allow us to whip out some value judgements.

Infinity Blade II is a fantastically accomplished game, boasting the kind of production values that many console games can only dream of. That, and its excellent gameplay, is why we gave Infinity Blade II a great big 5/5 in our AppSpy review.

This marks the first time the game's price has taken a tumble since its November 2011 release, so those who've been holding out for some bargain battling would be well advised to strike now.

Infinity Blade II is available from the App Store for $4.99. It will revert to its usual price of $6.99 after "a limited time".
