Better than sliced bread

Updated for 1.3.1: with the new update, we can easily migrate saves across devices!

I loved BG2 when I played it on my PC over a decade ago.

To be able to play these games on my iDevices has been like a dream come true.

The interface is as good as can be expected given the required complexity of this game, the story, depth, wonder and giddy excitement is here.

This is a game for hardcore games who want many, many tens of hours of entertainment.

Believe.

The nostalgia is strong with this title, and I'm blown away by how well a conversion Overhaul's managed. The game is smooth, and has a lot of "just works" to it.

Things are are really good are how the controls have been adapted for touch - by and large, you won't notice you're not playing with a mouse and keyboard. The ability to pan and scan with swipes is game changing, and the world of Baldur's Gate really comes alive with you being able to view it this way.

I'm not sure I entirely like the … precision? Sensitivity? …of the attack controls, as sometimes it's a bit fiddly to click on the dude you want to destroy. However, clicking in stores or in dialogue doesn't feature any of this fiddlyness, and I haven't mis-clicked yet.

It's not without a few minor glitches, but by and large it just works. The addition of some new portraits and character classes through in-game purchases is a nice touch, but not essential to the game experience.

There's something truly awesome about your iPad making all the sounds and effects you remember from days of old, losing weeks to BG when it hit back in the day. I suspect this game is going to make me miss my bus stop :)

Thanks Overhaul - you've done God's work here, and it shows.

I’ve heard it’s a good game

Just waiting for the current gen update to drop other than that no complaints

Hello! We're working on the next (2.6) patch for these games and one aspect we plan to address is the games' compatibility with newer mobile OS and devices. You can track the patch's progress here: https://forums.beamdog.com/categories/the-road-to-2-6
