What it needs most: 1) freeze action from the Mac version that lets you halt everything, look around, and select your enemies 2) camera control that lets you look around sometimes—like at the floating palace that you otherwise can’t even see above the capital 3) setting for manual-only enemy switching.4) some easier way to switch between all fighting styles than remapping the quick switcherPros:- it works on iPhone and iPad!- clever addition of Cloud Save to allow transfer between devices- I’m able to play fairly well with the touch controls, both regular and advancedCons:- it often gets into a choppy state after sleeping that can only be fixed by doing the “iOS force quit” and relaunching- all touch controls in advanced mode only work VERY LOW down. I wasn’t able to heal until I happened to do it near the bottom of the screen.- not having the things I previously listed as “needing most” make the gameplay less enjoyable and less in control- if the cloud saving could be automatic without too much trouble, that would keep us from getting stranded on a device that doesn’t have the latest save(s) on it

I have gotten more than 7 hours into the game and I'm extremely impressed. Those complaining about touch controls should just buy an Mfi controller, I use gamevice and it's flawless. Absolutely perfect for Mfi. Graphics are great, and I saw the review talking about the in game cut scenes being less quality. So silly, are you playing the game for the awesome fights, the music the graphics during the gameplay, the storyline? To complain about the cutscenes is a joke, they are the original cutscenes and it's just fine let alone minuscule to the overall game. There's another guy who can't download it, that's either you (your not waiting to fully download, your phone or your wifi) or apple. The developers have nothing to do with you downloading anything from the App Store, review apple poorly not the game you can't download for likely user issues. So far the pros are the storyline, gameplay with lots of fighting (like your own martial arts movie) and the music. The cons are probably touch controls but why play a game like this for the touch, too many buttons for a phone, maybe better on iPad. The graphics are a pro during the gameplay and the cutscenes are certainly not a con with graphics, but not a pro. Honestly it's nice to see the original game cutscenes with updated gameplay graphics. I give this a high 9.5, and I do so because it's a great game from a great developing team who has brought the best games to iOS. This game moves mobile gaming to the next tier and hopefully more teams will bring new huge titles to the mobile gaming platform. Tested on iPhone 6s Plus iOS 10.2

Hello the Jade empire: special edition, okay I owned this game for the Xbox way back when. Anyone who doubts this is the game STOP. This is it! I like the touch screen controls, at first I was concerned but ounce I began playing the controls are very much like the OG controls from the xbox. The graphics are somehow look better on the iPhone and the sound, combat, it’s all great. With that said, walking around I found was a little bit of a challenge. You walk straight just fine, but walking and turning can be a bit sticky. But that’s the only problem so far I found. All dialogue box’s are nice and big you can easily scroll through and choose the answer you want. The game isn’t super hard, but it isn’t easy ether. And the fact I haven’t seen one ad is super cool too. For $10 I mean may sound like a lot but but in the day they charged $50+ so you’re getting the whole game for $10. That’s a great deal. The Jade empire is a true masterpiece.
