Leave a Review Neverwinter Nights
Great game, good port, UX issues, slow updates
First: the game is great, if dated. I won’t review the game itself here as there is plenty out there about it. Short version: it’s great.
The port to iOS is mostly good. The major feature of NWN, custom modules and content, is supported just the same as the PC version, though you will have to jump through a few hoops with iTunes file sharing for all but the simplest modules.
The bad is the interface, which is woefully unacceptable on my iPad at least. The hot bar is drawn to the very edge of the screen and often fails to register taps. You must either choose between the chat/combat log OR the menu buttons. You can’t have both. The original is HEAVILY designed for a two-button mouse, which of course is impossible on the iPad, so right-click is emulated with a long tap. And you need to right click. All. The. Time. A “smart click” that right-clicked on single tap for certain interactions would have been lovely.
The iOS version is also quite far behind the PC in version number. Which is to be expected to some extent, but with no updates published in over two months, I’m beginning to wonder.Show lessboho_hono

Hello! We're currently beta-testing the next version of the game. Stay tuned! For more information, check out https://twitter.com/BeamdogInc/status/1324466770518843392Great but In-app purchase and character mobility problems
Edit: Marking down to 1 star because the in-app purchase problem still has not bee corrected or addressed.
Maybe now I’ll finally be able to finish this! It was always a pain getting expansions to run. I’m looking forward to multiplaying this with my sons.
But why is there no “restore purchases” button? I was going to go ahead and buy everything on both my iPhone and iPad, but today everything is more expensive x the number of devices you want the expansions. Even worse, if I delete and reinstall the app I’ll have to purchase these things again. Minus one star for a lack of basic app etiquette.
Also, it looks like the same problems with moving characters and games from one device to another that exist in the Baldur’s Gate series continue here. Minus one star for not addressing this in the app and relyin on iFunbox or some other such program to fix it for you.
I hope to raise this up to five stars, because it’s great to see this on iOS.Show lessStephen Holland
A great classic!
This is one of my all time favorite games, and the first dnd game I ever played. This Enhanced edition for iOS works great and looks beautiful. If you enjoy this type of game, I would highly recommend.Tanz44
Good fun but crashes a lot
Great game even on the Phone
Unfortunately it seems to Crash every time I try to save both quick save and regular save crash the game have to rely on auto saves to progress the game.
If this was fixed it would definitely be a must buy for any D&D fanMorley171

Hello! Try switching your "Display Zoom" setting under your device's Settings app in the "Display & Brightness" section before running the game. If that doesn't help, try disabling iCloud backup before running the game.Great port...get updated like PC?
Really enjoying title on ipad, but feel jealous that PC version seems to be getting all the love. Hopefully, enhanced graphics, UI improvements, etc. are forthcoming on iOS version as well.Tfvyfvygy
Amazing
This is an amazing port of an iconic and massive RPG. Piece of advice for players - you can turn off the text bubbles above npcs in the options. They take up a ton of space and make it hard to target at times if left on.Hitman 500
Glitches

Hello! Please elaborate on when you experience these crashes.Constant Crash on Save
Great port, controls are fine, massive amount of content for the price, however it crashes easily 3/4 times I try to save and deletes whichever file I save in. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Old file overwrite, crash, new save name, crash, quick save, crash, stay in area or enter new area, crash. Literally makes the game unplayable knowing I stand a 75% chance of losing everything I did.
This is on 13.7.Show lessRy926LH
