  • Absolute blast of nostalgia, playing on iPhone 10

    The smaller screen on IOS takes some getting used to but being able to zoom with your fingers really helps

    I HIGHLY recommend cranking your phone brightness to max and then the game is as beautiful and easy to see as a game of this generation can be on a phone

    So far my custom party of 3 has just made their way into Beregost town. Loving the game so far, played the original and its DLC’s and sequels on pc
  • Great game, hard game

    Great game, MAKE SURE you get baulders gate 1 and not the 2 or 3rd as its a continuation of the story scaled to higher lvs, not a better version. in the starting area before you leave theres a shopkeeper in the north of the villige. and for making your character only certain races can use specific classes, try a different race if you want to be something else ( human can be most any class.) reroll stats a few times to get some good stats for your first playthrough. You will die alot, this is an old pc game, and as such its a steep learning curve. And a biggy is to remember that all the xp you get is split between your party so dont just recruit everyone you find, as youll have trouble leveling your main characters. (Get a healer) ~And above all ——REST to recover health/ spells often——
  • This is a port from an old PC game I had.

    I loved these games so much... and never got to finish them when I was younger. Now I have them on my phone... and all I can say is thank you very much. I finally get to play this game out in all good and evil directions. Never had the chance... til now. <3
    Thank you... thank you so much.
  • Great game, but please help!!

    I love BG, have played through it many times (great offline game when I’m unable to be on WiFi for extended periods of time). However, when I go to play the Black Pits, it ALWAYS crashes when I kill Llyrk. DEVELOPERS, please address this. I haven’t had this happen in the regular BG ever, but it’s happened at least 5 times, with imported characters and the stock group. I would love to see this fixed and be able to enjoy the full content of this incredible game.
    -Thank you in advance.
  • 3.8 stars? Give me a break

    BG is a legendary game, and anyone who isn’t a complete chimp can figure it out. This port is great, and perfect for iPad (I wouldn’t do it on a phone). I don’t know where these low reviews are coming from (probably competitors) but for an old school RPG experience with great writing and storyline, along with excellent tactical D&D rules-based combat, it’s hard to beat. The idea that’s it’s rated 3.8 while I’ve seen complete garbage rated 4.5+ is mind numbing.
  • No idea how to load a saved game

    I’ve played through some of the tutorial and saved my progress. Going back into the app to continue playing, there’s no option to load that saved game and only to start from the beginning by creating yet another character from scratch. Rather frustrating and turns me off from actually wanting to play this game.
  • Truly enhanced version of a classic game

    A must-play RPG for any fan of D&D. Great updates to the UI, bug fixes, graphical improvements, multiplayer (which works much more reliably now in 2.5) and re-adding missing content and adding expansion content and their own. Can be a bit difficult at times, especially if you stumble upon expansion content too early - just come back later.

    Only one quibble: When building a character, it says refer to the manuals. But there are no links to download the manuals anywhere I can see on their website. Where are they?

    Developer Response

    Hello! Check out this link for the manual: https://cdn.baldursgate.com/files/AdventurersGuide.pdf We're working on the next (2.6) patch for these games. We’re nearly over with testing on PC. Mobile is next. You can track the patch's progress here: https://forums.beamdog.com/categories/the-road-to-2-6
  • Key Character Personalities Destroyed

    Great game. Some significant changes were made to several characters to cater to a very small minority that might play this game, and the personalities were stripped from a couple characters, fairly important ones. This is how you ruin a game. Luckily it’s still playable but I’m really disappointed about Jaheira and Safana. It’s just not the same game. Would get 5 stars from me but guess I will just go back to PC. Not cool. With all the other crap that is happening in this world like humans being sold and bought and 10 million people dying from smoking related causes and governments working with cartels to traffic drugs somehow this is offensive and unacceptable? These changes are so out of touch and need to be an option called |_| POLITICALLY CORRECT
  • Love the game

    Love Baldur’s Gate. Love the EE and especially the new characters. Dorn is a beast!

    I bought the game several years ago with my new iPad before BG II EE came out. iPad has since gone to the kids and come back to me with the game deleted. When I redownloaded from the App Store the in game purchases I bought didn’t come with them even though it’s the same account. Any idea how to get them back? Now that there’s the new bundle I’d like to get it and play it all through.
  • Love it. Best true D&D

    What a treat to play a game I loved way back when. Back in those days, I had to assemble binders with printed walkthroughs and item locations. It required a huge time investment/obsession. Now, if I get stuck, I can just google very specific info, and the gameplay controls/importing characters are easy. I’m going through the game effortlessly, which makes it more enjoyable. I splurged on this set at the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown and finally beat Throne of Bhaal. I just purchased Neverwinter Nights and was disappointed that I can’t import my characters, but I’m glad to see yet another Forgotten Realms game on iOS. These games on iPad were my dream come true.
