What tablet players say

  • Designed for 4:3 monitors and mouse-driven precision, characteristics that align perfectly with the iPad's aspect ratio and the precision of a stylus.

  • Playing with an S-Pen transforms the game from a 'fiddly' experience into something infinitely better.

  • this runs great on my old ipad . on new hardware the ui is hilariously tiny. please atleast update this gem to scale with new devices . also add purchase baring support across family thanks . get a version to work for ipad pros with the trackpad keyboard that would be sick . you could probably re-port it . i know bg3 players will start taking interest in this game .

  • I played BG3 and thought this would be a fun game on my iPad. Unfortunately the combat is chaotic and you have to pause the game, then select actions on each character but you can’t move the characters to be able to select enemies. I wish they would’ve stated that on the game and am unable to get a refund per Apple even after purchasing this less than 24 hours ago. Not happy with Apple or this game, so 1 star!

  • Buggy and best to play on iPad

  • If you had told me 8 years ago when I first played through the EE editions of this game on PC that I’d enjoy them more on an iPad I would have called you crazy and laughed. I am surprised how much more I enjoy these on the iPad compared with my PC. As text heavy games doing the reading on the iPad is very comfortable. I also felt more connected to my party and NPCs compared to using a traditional mouse and keyboard. I’ve played the entirety of the main game Shadows of Amn and haven’t quite finished Throne of Bhaal on the iPad, yet. The long press can be annoying at times but usually works. Sometimes in combat it can be difficult to know for sure if you have the intended enemy selected, you have to learn to tap the “feet” of anyone you want to talk with or attack. These are minor gripes and in no way inhibiting from the enjoyment of playing this classic on iPad. I had one bug I don’t remember on PC, for the Skinner Murder’s in the Bridge District, I tried speaking with the tanner before I took the evidence to the chief guard. Afterwards I went to the chief guard and gave him the evidence and he ran off, however when I go back to the tanner shop the tanner is there and I am unable to initiate conversation or do anything else. I can attack but he is unkillable and never turns red. Only bug and broken quest I experienced and not in any way breaking. And I did a lot of the companion side quests etc. If you’re new to these types of games I would recommend starting with the Baldur’s Gate EE and also finding a guide online to help build your character.

  • Great games. Fantastic to see this in a port for iPad. However there are so many bugs still. I am completely frustrated with my game freezing up all the time or the Settings not working correctly targeting messed up etc. etc. if it was free I would not complain but I paid money for this. It should be finished. iPad 8th Gen. 🙁
