Horribly designed from story to technical aspects!

This is my first review of any app so take that into consideration while you read. I’m a HUGE fan of NWN and BG and couldn’t wait to delve into this new game. Once it start I realized this was worse than original Atari Asteroids. First it’s difficult to navigate, as an example trying to hold an item for a description is like beating your against a brick wall. Takes maybe 5-15 tries to work per item. The game is riddles with bugs, extremely hard to work through varies quests, can’t get certain dialogs options to start, and many many places where you’ll miss opportunities and/or items because the game doesn’t allow for all paths to be used. In other words, if you don’t follow their specific path, you’ll not have the chance to save people, talk to others, thereby missing out. Finally, the story is so horrible it’s like a child from the 3rd grade wrote it. Most of the normal character you can’t get right away and most of the other you can have join your party are drow, goblin, and a half orc which all give you a negative reputation. Seriously, why...??? The very end of the game happens leaving a significant character not saved along with a significant villain not even fought. Not a SINGLE REASON to have either in the game yet there and yet every cut scene is with the “Hooded Man” which you don’t even get to fight. Absolute horrible and I’ll sum it all up I’m one word...JUNK!!!
Ignore the previous review

Apparently that above reviewer never actually played Baldur’s Gate. This is an amazing and lovingly restored and reconstructed chapter between BG1 and Shadows of Amn, the story is full of a lot of foreshadowing for the next game, without any spoilers, the item management and navigation is well executed for touch displays and much better than the original or even the computer enhanced edition with the one exception of item description which is a long press, something that can take a second to master, but not that long. Like any real rpg the game is what you decide it will be. So no, you don’t have to fight the big bad villain, yes you might not save a particular character, and the characters you interact with, or not, are up to you. That being said, he new and returning character were perfectly rendered with what sounds like original voices! The banter and jokes are perfect and the new characters, especially Glint, are some of the best of the entire series. This is an extension to BG1 (the chapter numbers even continue), this is an interlude before the BG2, this is not an expansive involved epic. Right there in the description it says 25 hours, I sunk at least 100 into BG2. However siege of Dragonspear is EXCELLENT. Any Bioware fan will love it, and any BG fan must play it!
I wish it worked on the same iOS as the rest

The other infinity games from beamdog work on iOS 8 or later. Whereas SoD requires 11 or later. So I'm stuck using my iPhone instead of iPad since my iPad maxes at iOS 10.3. Which is a killer.
NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REFUND

I didn’t mean to purchase this one I thought I had cancelled it and it still went through. I uninstalled it because I’ve never played these games and it gives no tutorial. I tried to get a refund once I got my receipt and it says it’s not eligible. I’m on an XS Max and it shrinks the screen about a half inch from each side making it way too small. It would be fine size wise if it wasn’t shrunk. $10 and can’t even get a refund.
SOOO good!

I absolutely loved playing this game. As a novice rpg player this game, as well as the others available in the Infinity Collection, have turned me on to rpg and I haven’t looked back. The characters, story line and side quests are all so entertaining and interesting. I LOVE that there are different levels of difficulty to chose from; I like to focus on the storyline a bit more than combat and this allows me to do that perfectly. My only issue is that I’ve played all of the Overhaul games available on iOs and I’m “patiently” looking forward to more from this developer! They definitely have a loyal fan in me.
Love the game but...

I was very much enjoying the game, having been a fan of the originals. However the flaw I found was that there is no apparent way to transfer a save file from one device to another. The game needs a cloud save type of feature so that it can be played across devices. As it stands I am currently unable to play as much as I would like to since the device I have the game originally installed on is not the device I get to use on a daily basis.

DO NOT RECOMMEND TO BUY. The author just adjusts price as update content last year! It’s better to go to play cracks, at least there is a language package inside.
Looks like crap on iphone 11

I bought this on an 8 plus and it looked great. When i upgraded to iphone 11 the game interface did not fill up my screen. There was no way to adjust it and the text is barely readable. Looks like trash now and i lost any motivation to play it
Crashes constantly

I’m a huge fan of this franchise but the game crashes every time I try to open the app. Ten bucks wasted, very disappointed. Update: submitted the problem to baldur’s gate support weeks ago. Haven’t heard a thing

Can’t read text or see left and right control side bars. Way too small. Started out normal size but shrank. Just want to add that Baldur’s Gate has same problem on my iPad Pro.
