I respect the effort but…
While I applaud CAPCOM for bringing this to the iPhone and iPads, there’s still a lot of issues. First, there is no full screen mode when using the iPad Pro extended desktop. Next, the controller only display’s information for X-Box controllers. This is really a no go if you’re using a PS5 or Nintendo controller. At times the game feels sluggish even with the settings turned down. The camera is hard to turn and aim due to choppy issues in frame rate.
Now issues for players who purchased this on the Mac App Store. Resident Evil Village is not a universal app. Meaning not only do you have to purchase it again, the save data from iOS and iPad OS will not work with the MacOS. And achievements in Game Center are tracked separately.

Amazing just need optimization
Played the game for a few hours, you need to buy a controller for the best possible experience.
Overall the game runs smooth with some stutter time to time. Some in game cinema have the audio a few seconds off, I had to pause the game for the audio to sync.
I rate the game a 4 stars at its current state, but once the game is optimized I will easily bump it up to 5 stars. It’s amazing to be able to play AAA game on an iPhone, I am excited to see more games.

Almost perfect!
Game runs extremely smooth and is beautiful on my 11 inch M2 iPad Pro with 8GB of RAM!! I can’t imagine how much better it looks on the 16GB of RAM that the larger iPads have. Love the customization options, love the fact that it doesn’t take me 2-3 days to download like it does on my PS5 and Xbox Series S (I have horrible internet). My only issue is the black bars on my iPad, I wish I could play it at full screen just like the iPhone and just like how genshin allows on the iPad. Much more satisfying and immersive experience. Again, LOVE the customization options! If apple keeps pumping out AAA games and release them day and date with the consoles/pc then I feel no need to run and grab a gaming pc!! Hopefully Dragons Dogma 2 comes & arrives on the release date!
Would love if apple started creating AAA story driven and multiplayer exclusives of their own👀 you know, to prove just how seriously they’re taking gaming now..wishful thinking

No problems here, pure awesomeness!!!
I adjusted the graphics to hit the sweet spot! I read a couple of reviews saying they don’t have the 120hz option on their phone? I have it so I don’t know what their issue is but I hope they get it resolved. My experience with the actual game is amazing!!! I had only a couple of fps drops but nothing crazy, I play with a backbone controller and it works splendidly! I’m so excited for the potential of more games coming to the mobile market. This is was something that was needed a long time coming to other options than the P2W games that have flooded the markets. One game, one price thank you! This game is absolutely worth it, especially if you have a controller.

Very impressive but needs work.
Pretty amazing that this works on the iPhone, but even on the lowest graphics settings possible you run into slow downs where the fps tanks. Hopefully a few updates should address this. Using an external cooler is recommended as after a short time the phone throttles and the fps dips. Also an external controller is highly recommended. Some strange bugs for me, mainly the audio going out of sync during cutscenes. I’m imagining with a controller, external cooler, and some updates, this will be close to perfect.

Love Touch Controls as Disabled Gamer
I have a C4 Spinal Cord Injury and can’t move my fingers. As a result I can’t use a controller even the mediocre Xbox adaptive controller. Don’t get rid of the touch controls. I say this because I see people putting 1 star for the touch controls but what they don’t seem to understand is that touch controls gives disabled people like me who loves resident evil the ability to play like everyone else. Overall great game. I’m loving it but you do need to fix the bugs because the dialogue doesn’t match the scene.

Great with an iPad Pro ‘M’ class & Dual Sense Controller via USB-C. Make an M1 iPad Mini!
Having played this on several platforms now. I can definitely say that iOS holds up well to the MacOS AND PC versions. It is responsive when using a Sony Dual Sense via USB-C and the upcoming ‘Gaming Lens’ mount. Sadly the ideal iPad for gaming that would compete well with small AMD gaming consoles like the Steam Deck, would be the iPad Mini, which was notably missing from any 2023 Apple events. With an ‘M’ class processor, 8GB memory & 256GB or 512GB storage, along with 5G connectivity, would make this both a cloud and local gaming “Elephant” to contend with. Otherwise, like the Goldilocks tale, running Resident Evil Village is either too big or too small on what it can be run on, with the iPad Mini being “just right” if it was available.
Also, even the M1 runs hot and you can see the battery drain right before your eyes. I’d say 1-2 hours will be max on a charge. Of course you can run it charging, but then you lose the low latency USB controller connection. You can use a powered USB hub, but than you are left with tangle of cables, and frankly this is suppose to be a “mobile” experience. I guess the good thing is the competition doesn’t fair very well either for battery powered use.
Overall, a smart direction for Apple. Oh and don’t forget ‘Alien Isolation’ also exist, and will run on the iPad Mini 6th generation too.

Amazing achievement by devs getting this on iOS
This game is awesome, and I was pleasantly surprised by the app size too, 16 ish gb is amazing for a game like this, the only issue being my iPad Air 5 M1 does tend to heat up a fair amount - it’s given this will happen with a game like this, although I wonder if there was any magic the developers could work to get this running at cooler temperatures without sacrificing too much graphics… awesome game none the less !

Fairly regular rashes iPhone 15 pro max
Find this crashes maybe once every 30 min, really annoying. If the issue is settings too high (maybe?) then why do you let users set settings that don’t work? Also all my choices were within the apparent abilities of my phone when I was adjusting the settings
Amazing! Finally a game to use my iPads M1 properly!
When I saw this game announced I thought it’ll look rubbish like other games, graphics will lack something, when I saw they offered a free trial I gave it a go and boy was I wrong! I have a 128GB iPad Pro 11” M1 with 8GB RAM, I didn’t change any default settings, connected an old PS4 controller and I am having a fantastic time! The graphics are simply stunning, truly are and finally my iPad can use its M1 power, amazing chip. I have since bought all the available purchases for the game and have played it every day now.
I played this game before on console, but the idea of having a current gen AAA game on my iPad that runs very smoothly and looks fantastic was too good an opportunity to pass. I am keen to see how the speakers add to that ‘baby’ section of the game… I also bought the game to support these types of premium priced games on iPad. The more the merrier.
