Doesn’t work with cross play

Sirlickzalot

This games a joke. They advertise crossplay but it absolutely doesn’t work as nothing runs the same version. PC, android and iOS can’t see the same games in multiplayer. Tried to connect any and all 3 and nothing works. Don’t waste your money until they put out a product that does what they say it will.

Nope

This game has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy way way way way WAY too many things to remember

This update and ipad 12.9 not get along

Side bars and texts in them are too small and cannot be adjusted.

Tutorial is massively buggy and useless

Wymarc

This game is complex enough to require a tutorial. Gameplay is impossible without the walk through, but after four tries I can’t get past the introduction of the thief. Buggy, irritating and unhelpful. Save your money.

Buggy and almost unplayable on an iPhone X

Furui

The experience is probably great on iPad, but the app shouldn’t have even been offered on iPhone. Tapping squares with millimeter precision is just a horrible experience (those of you with phone screens smaller than the iPhone X will fare even worse). Parts of the UI for character sheet creation would appear after the game begins making a large portion of the game surface invisible. The app would also crash when clicking the Continue button loading a saved game. Unless you have an iPad, do yourself a favor and play this on PC.

Cheat mode!??

I love this game on my computer because I was able to have cheat code active!! Why can’t I do that on the iOS version?? Make it happen already!

So buggy I cannot even finish the Tutorial

JAR521

First attempt, couldn’t select the chest to unlock. Second attempt, couldn’t dismiss a Window showing a spell’s description and couldn’t continue with the tutorial. So far, this is unplayable.

Love having this game around

So there’s some bugs (still) but that doesn’t bother me. This really is a game for people that broke their swords on the original. I’m just happy to have it, pick up whenever I want. I know the game might be cumbersome for newer players. The documentation and help could be better. I guess it’s a steep learning curve if you’re used to recent FPS. This is an original RPG. If you know DND it might take a little while to work with the interface. But the rules are the same, the combat is the same, the spells, the quests, and the great NPCs. Anyway, I hope the negative reviewers give it a little more time. It really is an awesome game. I like to play it through every few years with a totally different character to get different results. Also the transition from mouse point and click to touch is astounding. Good job team :)

Why do I need to turn off zoomed view mode??

HarborFan

Using an iPad Pro 12.9 - I have it in zoomed view mode because in standard mode the icons are too far apart on the home screen and text is tiny. Please fix Baldur’s Gate so it doesn’t require that, or refund me and remove the purchase. EDIT: Yes, those options do not do anything to the issue. The app still displays as a small box in the center of the IPad Pro’s screen.

Should be rated higher

This is as much a review as a love letter to Beamdog. Thanks for porting those games. I’ve rolled five characters and played through these games repeatedly. I’ve racked up countless hours in gameplay and many times that much in thinking about ways to explore the game mechanics. I’m sad to see so many bad reviews because it’s “too small for the phone”. I’ve played it on my iPad but honestly prefer playing it on my phone for some reason. I’m glad Beamdog didn’t restrict it to only iPads for fear of getting the occasional bad review from people with sausage fingers. I rarely hit the wrong buttons and don’t know why so many people seem to have a problem with that... Beamdog did a great job correcting issues I had with this port in the past (e.g. collapsing side bars, save importing, etc). My only hope now is that they find a way to port some of the Neverwinter Nights titles someday. Trent said it would be a challenge and presume that means even more than the formidable challenges they faced in getting BG titles out the door, so I’m not holding my breath. Thanks for the memories either way.
