Just got done playing Dungeon Defenders game. It uses the same Unreal Engine that Infinity Blade does but looks completely different.
It's a tower defense type game but you have a hero and it's in 3D. It's awesome. I played the first 5 waves/level of the single player campaign and then jumped into some multiplayer which was fun as well.
Check out the video:

This game is highly polished. Tons of stats to track and work on besting. Excellent tutorial with great voice narration.
Dungeon Defenders
This game (same app) works on both iPhone and iPad. I played it on the iPad as there's a lot going on so like the bigger screen to see better.

* Distinct Character-Classes
Each Hero class has a unique balance and set of weapons, towers, and special abilities, for a different style of gameplay.
*Hordes of monsters and massive Bosses
Armies of enemies will attempt to tear through your defenses. Only by employing the most effective defensive strategies, teamwork, and strong heroes will you defeat such devilish foes! Many creature types, running the gamut from big Orcs swinging huge axes, to sly Dark Elf Archers striking from the shadows, to crazy Kobolds armed with explosive packs. Unique boss monsters provide set-piece battles and take relentless teamwork to defeat!
*Fight your way up through the castle!
Each level has a different setting, layout, enemy types, traps, and distinct scripted surprises. Four difficulty settings from novice to master, which also adjust the rate of experience and types of loot earned. Storybook cinematics tell the tale throughout the Campaign Mode. Survival Mode pits increasing waves of enemies against the players until they fall, with the goal being to defend long enough to achieve the highest Leaderboard score. Challenge Mode allows players to tackle any mission with uniquely altered rule sets and goals!

The game looks and plays great.
Took me a sec to get a handle on the inventory/equip process but once that was under control, everything went smoothly.
You have a build phase which, in single player, allows you as much time as you want to run around setting up your defenses. You have mana/build points with which you can use to plan your defense. These are bankable as well, I think allowing you to use on your other characters.
There's four classes and it ranks them from easiest to hardest. Tons of loot drops and the game makes it easy to see quickly if the item dropped would be better than your presently equipped armor/weapon.
I had a blast playing the first 5 waves (complete first level)
Jumped into a multiplayer game afterward. It's just as fun. You dont have unlimited time to set up your defense so you run around doing what you can and then the waves start in with players able to join before each wave. If you join during a wave you get to "ghost" watch the other players.
We made it though to the last wave but a big ass ogre boss mob popped with a shit ton of hps. I was working it down as it beat on our last defense before the defense crystal we were protecting but a goblin with dynamite strapped to his back bonzai'd me and took me out just as I was finishing off the boss. You respawn after ten seconds. We fended off most of the hordes but there were too many and the crystal fell. Fun!
This game is very well done. The screen caps may seem busy with a lot of controls but it's really not that bad and once you've completed the well done tutorial, you're all set.
You'll notice the microphone. You can talk in multiplayer which is cool.
Lots of stats. Even during the action you can click on your defenses to see how effective they've been, etc.
Highly recommend trying this game out if you like Diablo-ish/Leveling Up/Loot/Strategy Defense/Fun games
I like that in single player you have time to work on your defense and get the lay of the land before you click your crystal and the hordes start coming. The level map is also live (shows real time/damage, etc to defenses so you can respond) Also nice that a single app works on both iPhone/iPad. They didn't try to gouge the consumer twice as some games do.
Watch the video to get the best impression on how the game is.
