We love BioWare for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and their other epic role-playing games, but this particular gem from their back catalog shines like a glorious green dragon. Infused with Chinese myth and populated by unforgettable characters, Jade Empire: Special Edition is a beautiful update of the classic action-RPG. The intuitive touch controls make it that much easier for us to get lost in its massive, martial-arts world of intrigue, adventure—and even a bit of romance.
Good but what's with the forced repeated cut scenes?

I'm playing this on iPad pro and while I agree that the expert controls are extremely buggy - (can't heal in expert mode? Just wont work for me?) the analogue controls work good with the larger tablet screen. Only annoying thing about this game for me is the fact that I have no way to skip a cut-scene that I've already watched? Especially before difficult battles where it might take a few attempts of trying to defeat the enemies, if I die, why am I forced to sit through the whole cut scene again? Some of these are 3 minutes? I'm thinking it might be a loading distraction but even so I'd rather watch a loading screen with a bar than the same annoying dialogue and dodgy 3d model acting.. Skip button please!
Amazing port

I can't believe this game, which I used to play as a kid, now fits in my pocket. What an absolute marvel - it's amazing fun (I'm already on another play through). Beautiful settings, inspired story, and great voice acting. I can't believe it's available on iOS - it's an amazing port considering its former life of XBox/PC. The only thing I really disliked is the targeting system in the game, which is bizarre and counter intuitive at times. A 'cycle to next target' button is seriously lacking, as the action is fast paced and there is no pause button. It really affects the playability. Other than that hiccup, it's absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend more highly. Hopefully this renews interest into this painfully under-explored series.
This game is brilliant

This game is by far, one of the best games out there, I completed the game in about 30 hours plus I still had loads of quests to do, so that's basically another 10+ hours, if you liked KOTOR then you'll love this, it's basically Kung fu real time KOTOR that's in the past, with magic. But with out a doubt this game is better then most, I would say it goes par with KOTOR, also to the developers, keep on pushing out games like this because these, even thoe a decade late, are the best games on iOS and I'm sure it'll stay like that for a long time. To clarify, 1- buy this game, it's worth it,2- thanks to the people who put this on iOS, 3- one of the best games on the AppStore by far.
Minor bug fixes.
