Great oldie

I wouldn't necessarily call this remastered. It looks exactly like the original. This is a great adventure game that is challenging and has a cool story.
A great game experience for most nostalgic game players.

This game definitely beats modern slice and dice games. A true classic.
Such a great game

Great to see this classic on iPhone. Very easy controls, great classic style. Love it.
Pretty good adventure game

I'm probably one of the few people who never played the original 'back in the day,' so this game was a completely new experience for me, in every respect. The art is top-notch, but the voice actors could use a little more training. Also, it could just be my perception of the game, but it seemed a bit short to me. The controls are about as good as an adventure game's controls can be on a touchscreen and you get used to them in short order. The difficulty seems to be just about right for an adventure game. It seemed more difficult to me than a game should be, but that's probably just my advanced age talking. Regardless, the built-in hint system is great, offering up only the hints you need most of the time instead of always just hitting you over the head with the correct course of action. In all, a great adventure game that I would recommend to any fan of the genre!
A great time

The puzzles can sometimes be a little esoteric, but the built-in hint system keeps it accessible.

There is a point when having to talk to Danielle Piedmont where you cannot have a conversation with her. I hit the 'talk' button and he says "excuse me" but doesn't move to her and can't talk. So the game cannot continue.
Great game, but...

Don't get me wrong. I love this game. It's one of the best adventure games I've ever played. If you're even remotely interested in the genre, by all means get this game. It's well worth the $2.99 they're asking for. The puzzles are clever, the story is great, and the humor had me laughing really hard. The control is excellent, but it takes a while to get used to. It hits the perfect balance between King's Quest and Monkey Island. The former where it's so easy to lock yourself out and die, and the latter where you can do neither. In Steel Sky, you can die, but you will never reach a point where you can't complete it. Thank you! I really want to give it five stars, but there are a few problems that hold it back. On a few occasions, I have touched somewhere on the screen at the wrong time, and it has locked up my game. Basically, whenever you perform an action, the icons disappear momentarily. If you perform the wrong action at a specific time, the icons will stay gone. I fund myself waiting for my iPod to close the application, forcing me to *gasp!* do something productive. If the next version fixes this, I would be so happy. I hate productivity.
