- Star Challenge: Now open! Score pool balls, collect stars, and upgrade to new cues! Flexible and interesting gameplay is waiting for you!
- Kingdom Challenge: Global leaderboard launched for a limited time, with more rewards and exclusive prizes on offer.
Infinity 8 Ball Pool King is a visually impressive entry into the mobile billiards space. What immediately stands out is the high-fidelity 3D engine; the felt of the table and the reflections on the balls look remarkably realistic for a mobile title. The physics engine feels weighty and predictable, allowing for complex bank shots and spin control that feel earned rather than automated.
The game offers a nice variety of modes beyond standard 8-ball, including trick shot challenges and global 1v1 tournaments. The progression system—unlocking new cues with unique stats and visual effects—provides a solid reason to keep playing. While the monetization can be aggressive with cue upgrades and recharge times, the core gameplay is polished enough that it remains a top-tier choice for pool enthusiasts looking for a competitive online fix.

Players that stay are fairly good, so it makes the game interesting, challenging, fun and a bit cerebral. A variety of things to do, challenges, things you can play solo just to slow the pace down. Short timers sometimes rush your shot a bit. Tech support is fairly responsive but not always entirely fair. Their decision making, at times, can be a bit one sided, advantage to the game owners and you can't argue with "right". All in all not different than any other game, variety and brain pan usage give you that non-boredom experiential time usage, good einsteinian transubstantiation experience (think about the meaning of that one......lensing, gravitational bending of physical properties that border on the experience of things not well understood, you determan which neurons are firing in a spirit you can't necessarily prove but can believe, similar to the Higgs, boson condensate theorem that can't be proven or disproven, catching on? Just like that fact the Jesus is your creator, and can be proven only by faith, believing with no doubt, yet still unseen unless you are born again, in that vein. (Or is it vane, or is it vayne?........ Yeah, I'm a believer in the finished work of the cross..... so can you be by faith alone + nothing to be one of His, as a believer you will know His voice, not the fakery of the fallen one which temps you and corrupts that which is perfect.....IF, you let it happen, as a scientist, you find it hard to believe in truth, but easily in theory. theories, theorums. Who do you think created the physics you lean on as gospel "truth"? Hmmmm,
I really like to shoot pool but this game cheats so much that just isn’t fun anymore. It keeps buffering until your turn runs out of time. It takes balls that have already been sunk and puts them back on the table to shoot again or with no time left on your shoot you loose your turn. I have gone many games in a row before I can break, also I seem to get pared up with the better players then who I should be playing against. Especially in star game it seems like that no matter how I shoot the cue ball is almost always scratches. A lot of my games freeze up and by the time I log off and log back on I have lost my turn. Like I said I like to shoot pool and this game could be a great game if you could fix some of the problems. There are many other things that are wrong with your game but it’s getting late. Good night Davitch1951 I am only giving it a 3star. When I go for the extra rewards more times then not it takes between 13 and 15 times of no video available at this time so you get only 4 minutes to watch 3 videos which is plenty of time when you get the video in a timely manner. That happens a lot in stars. Also In stars when you get to one of the last steps it goes from a video to where you have to use all of your gems. Some of the rules aren’t explained very clearly or not explained at all. Like the unique cue stick for the Super Bowl. There are no rules that tell me when and how to get the cue. The other special cues I only found out by accident that you can recharge the other cues.
Very good game, no forced ads. Watch ads if you want to but you can play as long as you want and not see any if you choose. There are offers that cost money but, again play as much as you want and don’t spend any money at all unless you want what is offered. The game play is good. You usually play against other players so the game play is challenging and isn’t static. If I sound like a fan, I really am. The initial screen isn’t obvious as far as play options go but it doesn’t take much time to figure out. Then it’s pure joy playing opponent after opponent. The other players seem friendly. Sometimes it’s apparent you’re playing against the computer, though. Game play is similar although the computer seems to miss a few more shots than a skilled opponent would, but it generally plays very well. Later… it seems to have trouble maintaining a connection to the server. It is frustrating to be lining up the final shot for a win then getting the attempted reconnection arrow. Time ticks down then it’s the opponents turn. He wins. It happens a lot. Opponents also have trouble maintaining the connection. It’s a good game, a favorite. If you want to contact support, you must do it through Facebook. If you don’t use Facebook, you’re on your own.
I love this game. I have missed playing pool. This has given that back to me. The game in general is good. The way it is set up you have opportunity to play with others and against yourself with many different challenges. It helps you get better. The only thing I don't like is so much is pay to play. I can't afford that so I am held back. My game often freezes up and when that happens your opponent often wins automatically. The slide of how hard to hit the ball gets in the way often so its almost like having the challenge of a wall in your way on the right side. It would make the game much better if you were able to move that for certain shots. Also I often time out when trying to select the right angle. Another 5 seconds would be greatly appreciated. I do understand why its timed though. I just typically finally get the right spot and it times me out before I can actually shoot so a couple more seconds and I would get the shot in. It just creates more of a challenge which can be good just irritating for now. Still good game. Love it. Addicted to it. I was actually sad and glad I got locked out for a week. I needed a break.
Pro’s: The game developers aren’t pushy about wanting your money and they give the players a chance to earn jewels, coins and other items through game play. It’s really nice. Game play is fairly smooth. There is always someone to play, which brings me to the cons. Cons: the bots, omg the bots. You’ll be playing bots most of the time, and you know it’s a bot because it will spin the pool cue all the way around the table only to come back to the same exact ball it selected to begin with, there’s a feature that allows you to touch the ball you want to hit and the guide line pops to it, then it will miss the most obvious shot, I mean glaringly obvious. Then turn right around and make next to impossible shots from the opposite end of the table. On the last two balls left it will suddenly become a pool shark start using cue ball English in weird ways, like it just doesn’t make sense why it would choose that, again missing the blatantly obvious shot. You will never break two times the same even if you break the exact same way every time, I tested that theory in several games. Sadly in the real world if you have the same exact circumstances each time you get the same exact results each time but not in infinity pool. The AI is mentally handicapped in a serious way. Lastly it will throttle you, as in you’ll suddenly start missing everything, the bots will be at the same rank but play at a much higher level almost like skill based matchmaking but crappier. This game definitely has some dev bugs that need to be addressed but overall it’s entertaining enough to pass the time. Games usually run about 5 to 10 minutes.
I like the game overall. It’s fun to play and offers many additional challenges like polygonal tables, so you can practice your skills and earn additional “currency” if you do well. I especially like the Daily Challenge and the Journey that lets you earn journey coins to exchange for wildcards to then exchange for items needed to upgrade your cues. However, what I don’t like is that the game is designed to give a significant advantage to players that purchase a weekly gold pass or other offers. There are tiers that you can climb, but they don’t reflect the skill of the player. They reflect how much you spent in the game. I was able to advance to the Master division without buying the gold pass, but it’s getting nearly impossible to get further without the gold pass. The new Kingdom mode is even worse. It’s designed to require you to purchase to progress to the next level. So, my suggestion to Playorca is to design the game that allows skilled players to get promoted. It’s ok to give some advantage to people who are willing to pay, but if you can’t get to the top without paying then good skilled players will abandon your game and go elsewhere. Your leaderboards are not reflecting skill at all. They are only reflecting how much someone paid you.
Like other reviews, the accumulation of cards and pieces makes no sense. If the game asks me to use a wildcard, I just do it as I have no idea how it works. The coin / gem system is lame. Everything costs something. For example in challenges I win one of three games and in order to claim the prize I need to pay 100 gems. That's not a prize but a purchase. Why would I purchase 2000 coins for 100 gems. It takes ages to accumulate gems. Currently there is an award for obtaining 300 gems. That will take quite some time to complete. Im only getting a wild card. The wheel spin is another farce. You can eventually get the 200 gems if you spend 12,000 or more coins to spin. Don't tell me sink 20 more balls for a spin but then that spin costs more coins. The reward playing this game is almost non existent. If my reward is to tap my way to early arthritis then this game does that. Pop ups to purchase are annoying and the are you sure prompt (another click) is equally as annoying. If I clicked No or close, that's what I meant. I'm not changing my mind. I may just find another pool game that keeps it simple. Like I said, it's ok but it could be A LOT better. Hope you guys take these comments and make changes that make you want to play the game. I could go on but I'm annoyed now just writing this.
At first the game is fun, the play is nice and pretty much unlimited, the music is repetitive but calming, and graphics and sensory vibrations are well done. although there's too many side quests and mini games... but after a couple weeks it gets frustrating. You start getting less and less starting breaks (instead of 50/50, you get about 1/10), and a lot of players break and run, so it's a huge disadvantage. The bots are obnoxious and slow down the game a lot. You can recognize them by a very deliberate step motion around the table until they find a ball, almost like the hand of a clock. You'll also start getting many more misses and scratches that are hard to explain. if you're trying to figure out why, the reason is the directional arrows become skewed or misrepresented. I was getting a little irritated, so I tested this theory with a straight edge of a business card. I would line up the shot perfectly, but the ball would go slightly left or right of the intended direction unpredictably. I'm assuming this happens if you don't spend money on the game, but it's definitely shady. It's not just the target ball, the cue ball will carry a different direction than the line shows as well, and then roll way longer than it should, right into a pocket in a way that makes zero sense. Rigging the game isn't going to make me spend money on it, I'll just delete it off my phone.
