Unfortunately, I’ve changed my mind – Ultima IV: C64 Review

I was SO excited to find this game! I’ve been wanting to play it again for years. It’s amazing they are able to “port” it, it is literally the original game in all it’s vintage glory. I was so happy . . . but now after a couple weeks of playing, I’ve run into the same problem I see many here have: the farther you get, the more impossible it becomes to play. The mis-clicks are making it nearly pointless to continue; I’m up to FIVE mis-clicks per step now, about 40% of the time. I just made 23 moves in order to get on top of a treasure chest. I have blundered into poisoned soil 10 times in the last day. I can’t fight, no one will stop moving. I end up fighting with one person and skipping the rest, because I can’t reposition anyone. I am hugely disappointed, can this be fixed? It’s not a small issue. Does this have to do with my iOS version? Is anyone NOT having this problem? Thank you for putting this game out, but alas I don’t think I’ll bother as it’s already incredibly frustrating and I’ve only got six in the party. I haven’t even been in a dungeon, and I can barely fight trolls. There’s a long way to go.
