An amazing game, story and experience

I first played Baldur’s Gate on 6 disc CD years ago so I am so happy to be able to carry this epic with me everywhere - the enhanced edition adds kits, containers, quests, items and companions and is (mostly apart from nerfing critical success pickpocketing) a grand improvement in a number of ways. Whether you want to play a mage or a rogue or subscribe more to the “swords for everyone” philosophy of combat, there is a marvellous story full of adventure, emotion and betrayal to carry you there.

Note: if you are re-downloading and have lost your purchases there is no “restore purchases”button *but* just click to purchase again, approve to buy and you’ll get an iOS pop-up asking if you want to download it again for free since you already own it which is a relief!

Bring on BG II !!

Still my favourite RPG of all time. I thought the game played much better on the ipad than PC, as the ability to click more quickly on multiple points on the screen is superior to using a mouse. Plus ipad is so much more portable than PC, so I found you play through the game a bit faster.

Note to developers: everyone is waiting for an ipad version of Dragonspear!

User interface!

Great gameplay, runs smoothly, extensive adventure. But seriously it's only ported from the pc version. There's no change to make it optimised for mobile device especially for phones. For example the spell books, inventory, the way you cast spells , everything is the same as PC! This makes it so difficult to use, there should be a new way to open inventory like making that page full screen or different format to fit screen better.
More importantly the spells page is a pain, I cannot identify them by the symbol and the method of holding them one by one to look what spells do is a hassle. It's better if its a list format if it's on a hand held device.
All in all, good gameplay only hindered by the ui.
