  • Updated!

    "This app may slow down your device. Please contact the developer to update the app."

    Update #3: They finally updated the App (and I updated my rating back to where it belongs for this gem, 5 stars)! Thank you, Overhaul Games, for making this game better than what I remembered from the good old days of the PC! Stellar Job! (BTW, where is the BG: EE update???????)

    Update #2: Still nothing, yet I added one more star to my rating because, according to the website (as of the 5th of July 2017), an update is "on the way" for BG:EE and BGII: EE (they added in ID:EE as an afterthought, so hopefully there as well), but no ETA. I'll update my rating IF this app gets updated.

    This game, with the first and Icewind Dale, are a HUGE disappointment. I paid $10 for all of them so that I can play on my huge screen (Plus sized), only to see this on the description. I've left reviews on all three games with 1 star, and it will remain until the devs update their apps! Oh, they released a new game, also $10, but I'm not spending a dime on it because it won't even be worth it. They will never update it anyway. Totally disrespectful to people who pay money to play a game that isn't even updated to work on any device made on or after 2015. DO NOT BUY THEIR NEWEST APP! They will never update it anyway.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the message! As you mentioned, we're currently working on the update. Hope to have more news soon. :)
  • Superb

    This is an excellent update which not only polishes up the previous version, but updates the entire BG II experience. I love that I can instantly see whether an armor or weapon improves my character’s stats, for example. Easily one of the greatest role playing games of all time, and this port is superb. Thank you!

  • iOS compatibility

    UPDATE: Now is 64 bit game!
    Great game but would not buy going forward as this app is marked as not being compatible with future iOS version coming out in fall of 2017
  • The best RPG experience without Pen & Paper

    The new update is awesome. Great graphical improvements. Large amounts of side quests and great dungeons. One of the best RPGs ever. I'm a Dungeon Master for D&D 5th edition, and I have to say this is as close as you can get to the pen & paper experience (which is always the best). Get it if you have an iPad and want to know what D&D is like.

  • Cmon guys you now need a magnifier to see the toolbars

    And I play on the iPad Pro, the big one. The size of the buttons is so tiny it makes the game unplayable, even on this largest of iPads. Too small to see, too small to be able to tap without hitting the neighbour, just poor poor design, with so much screen space that could have seen these bars larger and extended this is just a crazy bad design flaw. I have managed to increase text size but this has no effect on any of the buttons Can't play anymore, very disappointed, let's have this corrected in another update guys.

  • New update is awesome!!!

    First time as shaman, and it looks like it's going to be a ton of fun! The first few hours were a blast!

    Great QoL fixes like ammo stacks in containers

    10/10 update, I couldn't be happier.

    But the biggest part of the update that I had no idea was coming, the one thing that blew my mind and completely caught me off guard... the ability to customize my characters color sets to any of them including the unique ones. Seriously, this was the most personally requested feature and I can't believe it happened! Thanks!!

  • Love the game, but needs to be upgraded/patched

    Love this game from way back. Played BG1EE to be able to port over a character, which worked fine. BG1EE is great. But the difficulty slider on BG2EE doesn't work, and you are perpetually stuck at "normal", which isn't all that normal (max hp per level, enemies do 75% of normal damage). Don't want to bother playing an easy version of the game. Fix and I'll increase my rating!

    So they patched the game, but STILL the difficulty slider does not work. It appears to work, but no matter what setting it says, leveling up always grants max hit points. SERIOUSLY!?! You guys can't fix this? Why?!?

  • No support at all and poor customer service when issues arise

    No support at all, don't buy this game waaayyy too many game breaking bugs they refuse to fix
    Just go to their forums at beam dog and see for yourself
    Was basically told go away and uninstall and delete everything and start the game over after a game breaking bug where you can't advance out of there under dark
    Told very rudely I might add
    Would not recommend buying the game at all and I will be asking for a full refund
    Team that Brough this game to iPad are kidding themselves
    No testing at all to bring the game out

  • Caught by a known bug!

    5 stars because the game is awesome, but dropped back to 2 because it is now impossible to finish it, caught by a known bug on pirate island where Saemon Havarian does not appear at the docks. Only auto-save and quick-save to go back to but both are past the critical point.
    Disappointed.
  • Absolute classic!

    Although this is an aging PC game which was brilliant for it's time, it has been ported incredibly well to the tablet and is much better than most of the humdrum FtP games out there. Well worth the few dollars.
