Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.
One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.
Remastered version includes
- Repainted, hi-res character textures
- New, dynamic lighting
- Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra
- Over 2 hours of exclusive developer commentary
- Concept art browser

The free version of fitting a kitchen utensil into an electric socket saves money and headache
Tim, stop drinking
And also $2.99 plus taxes, countless hours of your life. 4 stars for concept 5 stars for pulling it off 3 stars for a primer to game design and development, 1990s-present -10 stars for the never-ending nightmare of this experience and desecration of what you hoped it would be; the nostalgia you sought; the brilliance you hoped would finally shine; the...&$!? whatever you came here for TLDR: A hot, handheld mess that makes Full Throttle-for-mobile seem almost enjoyable. Use disposable income on Broken Age. Pray Double Fine folk regroup and blow gourds again. Drop them a line—you’ve got the number :)
Amazing 5 star game & a very lazy remaster

So this game is supposed to be a “remaster” of the legacy game. To Double Fine - who always get a lot of dev money for their work due to the “VIP status” of a certain individual - it means sitting back and doing the bare minimum. This leads to very mediocre lazy remasters, such as this one or Full Throttle. On the better end of the spectrum, their Monkey Island remasters (where is MI3??) The moment I boot this game, I see my phone’s top bar (where the time and icons like WiFi are displayed) isn’t properly hidden. The intro boots in 4:3 format, not 16:9, since they’ve not bothered to remaster backgrounds & cut-scenes (“just add borders or stretch horizontally!”). The sound instantly goes out of sync with the video and subtitles, and the video is cut off early. The controls at least are better from the original one, but still, 3D adventure games from Lucasarts like MI4 or Grim were always a bit poorly done UX wise, so why not take the effort of modernizing/remastering it? Why doesn’t the game look better from its original? Sorry, but remastering isn’t just replacing original textures with higher quality ones! You probably had the original, higher quality ones ready, so that’s just a matter of replacing assets. Further, what’s with the QA? A bunch of crashes so far - totally unacceptable! Such a shame as this title deserves proper care.
Timeless Masterpiece

Grim Fandango is a game that I first played more than 20 years ago and was enthralled by its amazing storyline and immersive gameplay. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to replay it on iPad now and to be able to experience the beautiful and exciting story once again. Thank you!
I want my money back!

No AppleTV support

I don’t like the borders. No full screen support and I couldn’t find option to sync my PS4 controller. Also, no AppleTV support! Just AirPlay. I’ve requested a refund for these reasons. Otherwise, the original PC version was a very entertaining game.
Amazing game with Serious problem

I tried so hard to like it. I began anew at least a half dozen times. What ultimately made me delete it in a moment if self-awareness? Here are 3 examples: - puzzles where you have to click exactly the right pixel at exactly the right time, or restart from a checkpoint far, far away - solutions that are irrational by anyone’s measure. I can’t believe ANYONE completed this without consulting a walkthrough. - walking and walking and walking And perhaps if I’d been engaged by the scintillating storyline, empathetic characters, or mind blowing graphics, I could have overlooked the tedium of gameplay. I wasn’t. Unless you LOVED this game in its original format and don’t mind a clunky port, you may want to save your money.
PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH!!!

This was one of my favorite games growing up, so I was so excited to get to play it again on a touch screen. But there’s a fatal glitch from the get-go: Once I access Manny’s inventory, I’m stuck cycling through his things! I’ve installed/reinstalled and also have tried on two different phones. Please address this!
I like this game ???? I played this game on apple iP
