2023-12-27 | Used to love this game many years ago on PC so I decided to get the phone version. But, it's a poor imitation of the real Baldur's gate. All controls and graphics look just shrunk from what they used to be on pc. No adaptation to mobile at all. It's awkward, it's hard to see *anything*, stuff looks tiny and gameplay is fiddly and cumbersome. And that's on a Pixel 6 Pro, a premium phone with a large screen! Also, the app developers provide zero support so don't spend your money on this. | ||
2023-11-15 | Best game I've ever played on mobile. Unfortunately, I encountered a bug late in the game where I died while a dialogue was triggered. This rendered the game entirely unplayable even starting new save files. A permanent dialogue box was open, preventing me from doing anything other than moving. The box was even open on the main menu. I had to delete the app and reinstall it, losing all of my saves. It's a bit frustrating but the game is worth it. | ||
2023-01-20 | Played this as a kid, but wasn't mature enough to appreciate it. This game is great, and SO big. Playing on a hard difficulty for my skill makes progress slow which I like. The ability to customize the character was low, but the ability to customize the overall game experience is high, more than maybe any game I've ever played. Pathfinding is the only gripe I have, but that's a small problem I got used to. Idk why people complain about the size of text ..I love the port! | ||
2022-12-27 | Great port of a classic game, but it sucks that I don't have the option to move this nearly 4GB game to external storage. My device only has 32GB internal, but I have 512GB external, so it would be really helpful if I could move it out of internal storage. The Beamdog games are consistently the biggest games I have on my phone, and I can only keep one installed at a time because of this limitation. Otherwise, thanks very much for a solid port. | ||
2022-03-05 | Great game, as any fan would know!!! Easy to use UI smooth game play fast loading really nice when you will find yourself having to reload quick saves. (for noobs YOU WILL) don't be discouraged; it's normal 😉. There are a few bugs I noticed, but nothing that has stopped me from enjoying. Thanks for the work you guys did so I can enjoy one of my favorite childhood games on the go! | ||
2021-12-21 | It's obvious it was a PC game - a great one at that. It just isn't good on mobile. Things like picking up gold and items off the dead bodies you kill is incredibly difficult. Especially if you want a specific party member to do it. It's too cumbersome. Battle controls are equally difficult as it just doesn't control easily on the phone. | ||
2021-12-02 | I recommend playing this game on a tablet, but phone is fine for on-the-go game play. BG2 was my favorite childhood game and I'm excited to see it ported to mobile. Using external apps to put it on Android in the past was horrible, so I'm very happy for this. The game runs smoothly and doesn't hiccup with touchscreen. Even better, the expansions are included. So worth the money, and not just for the nostalgia. | ||
2021-02-01 | Very impressed with the game. This was my favorite game in the old days and now on mobile it's amazing. I was skeptical at first after seing many complaints about having the game on phone was too small visually. The font has the option to increase size so that is no problem. The game has zoom so you can use 2 fingers to zoom in and out on the fly specially during combat. There is no lag or load times which is awesome. I play on a galaxy s8 and the game plays and feels amazing. Must try for sure | ||
2020-07-31 | The best way to play this game is on a Samsung flagship phone, connected to a TV, with a mouse and keyboard in "Dex Mode". It is really a good port, and playing it on a large screen (im using a 40-inch TV paired with a 2.1 soundbar) is undoubtedly an immersive experience. I have no issues playing this game in Dex Mode via Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S10e. | ||
2020-05-25 | Great game, however there are a few points ingame where the player can get stuck, unable to move forward with the story. For an "enhanced"edition it would seem the devs would have corrected these issues. Aside from that, love it. Just be sure to save frequently and have several backup saves available spread out along the game. |
