5+. It is first game that I played with keyboard and mouse on iPad. Surprisingly it is played with same experience as years ago on real PC. Furthermore I can switch to the controller or touch anytime.
I hope we will see more such gorgeous ports.

Ailen isolation hello this billiej this game is magnificent well done

This game is the bomb it reminds me of a movie ailen for real it doesn’t need a thing changed I can’t stop playing it it’s worth every dime please don’t take it away from me there is no other out there like this one keep up the good work this games deserves an academy award

Spectacular!

Feral Interactive are gods amount men. Everything they touch is of the highest quality. The Total War games series, Company of Heroes, Xcom 2, Tropico, Grid and now Alien Isolation. Just beautifully done. The graphics are awesome and it runs very smoothly. The sound is fantastic and very atmospheric with music from the Alien movie plus great sound effects. It might be a port but it is of the highest quality. I’m playing on an iPad Pro (2017) with 512gb and everything installed. Even though I have an iPad controller to use I decided to try the touch controls. It just works great and I don’t know if I’ll even need my controller. I’ve bought this game on the PS4, PC, The Switch and now iOS. This just might be my favorite. Bravo Feral Interactive. Alien Isolation is fantastic and an absolute bargain too. 10/10

Feral Knows Their Stuff!

I wasn’t really interested when I first saw the price point and almost clicked away when I noticed right before this was Feral at the Helm! After seeing what they did with Grid for mobile, I have become a huge fan of their work! So after seeing their name on this I went to Steam to check out reviews for the game and saw that the reviews were “Overwhelming Positive” so I decided to click that buy button!

Well after about an hour or so I’ve jumped in here to say… WOW! What an incredible experience this is… especially on mobile with a good pair of headphones! I’m blown away this is on my iP 20se!

This is one of the most amazing and terrifying gaming experiences I have ever had! The graphics are tasty to the eyes, the sounds fill your ears with all the ambience of a well produced movie, and the gameplay/story really immerses you into its world where you forget yours!

What an INCREDIBLE piece of Digital Artwork this is! Feral…Keep porting and I’ll keep buying!

P.S. Also love the fact you can rearrange the hud, resize buttons, and reduce their visibility to see more of the game! That’s some great forward thinking right there! Thank you! 5 Stars!

Great game and port with some niggling issues

Firstly, thank you Feral for your many years of work porting games to Apple, your releases are always top quality.

A couple of small things: I’d like to be able to skip the intro movies that show all the publisher and developer logos, it’s annoying that I have to wait for them to play. This might be my misunderstanding of the auto-save feature: I’d been playing the game for a couple of hours and got up to where you call the transport. I wasn’t quick enough in embarking so got killed. I was expecting to have to replay maybe 10 or 15 minutes of game, however I was taken back to when I first arrived on the station. I stopped playing as that was over an hour or so worth of playtime. Should I have been able to reply on the game auto save, or is it necessary to save manually throughout? Given this is on iOS and it’s a platform that’s given to easily switching between apps, auto save and resume I’d argue are expected.

Response from developer

Thanks for your purchase of Alien: Isolation. The game requires a manual save when playing, which is the same as the original version of the game. This is a design feature to increase the tension in the game, but we will pass this on as feedback for consideration. If you have any other questions or feedback, please contact us directly via support@feralinteractive.com

Near perfect port with fatal flaw on iPad

This game seriously looks amazing. The graphics are better than the PS4 version which I have played many times. That’s incredible! An iPad is outperforming a console!

The only flaw is that when using the Magic Keyboard on iPad Pro, it controls just like a regular PC game and has the ESC key set to take you out of the menu, but the magic keyboard doesn’t HAVE an ESC key. It doesn’t have a right and left mouse click either but I worked around that by remapping keys.

Masterfully done port

Same exact game as on console, but made completely playable on the go. Includes all the DLC too, would highly recommend.

Plays Great But Needs a Few Things…

Feral has done a phenomenal job porting this game to iPad- the whole experience is here and it runs GREAT.

Please add Magic Keyboard support- this game requires an escape key, and the command-period shortcut doesn’t work- I’d love to see that added in a future release.

Wow! Just Wow!

They say you get what you pay for. This game is worth it. A must play with headphones. The graphics are off the hook perfect. The attention is in the details. Scuff marks, grease stains, graffiti etc…really makes this game stand out. Someone loved making this as much as I will love playing it. Only been playing for a few hours, and haven’t even seen an Alien yet, but I cannot wait.
Great game right here people, especially if you are a fan of the original 1979 classic. Well done., and thank you!

A miracle

This is an astonishing port of one of the best games of the last decade. Not only has this masterpiece been ported, but it has been ported well. This is no GTA remaster phone port. This is the full experience, in incredible fidelity with great controls. I hope this game stands as an example to other developers out there of what is possible. I am only shocked we did not get Skyrim before this.

Congratulations to devs behind this. I can’t wait to replay this gem
