What tablet players say

  • The resolution is too small on a phone. On an iPad it is ok.

  • No tutorial or manual for iPad version… very poor development!!!

  • Wow, I remember getting the original bauldurs gate on pc with 8 cd roms to run(bg1 seems so small now!) Now the thing fits on my iPad. Admittedly the touchscreen is a compromise, but once I got the hang of it, I was off. There is a tremendous wiki for the games and still boasts an active community at the time of this writing. I really wanted planescape to be a better game (how do you wind up with a linear adventure on the great ring?) but that’s no fault of the folks who ported this stuff. I’ve had immense enjoyment from this entire bundle, with a replay I’m doing for the third time now. Taking characters from the core 3 games is very easy and extremely satisfying to the power player who understands the game mechanics. Thanks for the blast from the past from the superior in every way, ADnD 2e. (Sorry you 5e wimps, this is challenging on even core rules, and spoon feeds nothing to you. Also there are no half dragon/tiefling/goliath bard-paladin-sorcerer-artificer-there’s play tested balance for a reason.)

  • I played the ordinals on PC many years ago and the enhanced editions are great except for the aspect ratio not going full screen on iPad mini.

  • I play on a iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, this as been an amazing experience. I’m almost finished with this and then onto part 2.
