### 1/5 — при запуске вылетает.

*2026-05-28*

при запуске вылетает. ipad pro 10.5

### 5/5 — Need Banner Scrolls 3!

*2025-11-11, version 1.0.7*

Amazing game. No ads or pay to play. Great story, with consequences, strategy, and characters to enjoy.

Please release Banner Scrolls 3 for iOS!

### 3/5 — hyped

*2025-11-03, version 1.0.7*

very well made, but still hyped and limited.....my idea of RPG is something like Neverwinter Nights or Baldur s Gate. Got bored with this pytty quickly

### 3/5 — Not working any more

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.7*

I’ve been planning to get around to playing this - loved the first game - and finally opened it only to find that it just dumps me back onto my homepage. Must need an iOS update

### 5/5 — Will BS3 ever come to iPad?

*2025-06-19, version 1.0.7*

Banner Saga is one of the few games that I’ve replayed several times and own on several platforms. My favorite platform for this series is iPad! For several reasons, it just feels right. Controllers and PC/Mac are awkward in ways that make the iPad with the touch screen just ideal. But here we are in 2025 and BS3 on iOS is still nowhere to be seen. Any chance we might see it someday?

### 5/5 — This seems like a good game.

*2025-05-28, version 1.0.7*

But why isn’t it full screen. Is there a way to adjust this, I’m on an iPhone 13

### 5/5 — Игра супер!

*2025-04-30*

Где 3 часть на айпаде? Очень удобный формат прохождения на нем именно.

### 5/5 — DEPOIS DO IOS 18.4 O JOGO TÁ FUNCIONANDO!

*2025-04-02*

ESSE É O MELHOR JOGO DE CELULAR QUE JOGUEI, ATUALIZEM POR FAVOR, ESTÁ FUNCIONANDO MAS SERIA ÓTIMO UMA ATUALIZAÇÃO PRA PREENCHER A TELA CHEIA NO iPHONE 13.

### 1/5 — no good game

*2025-02-25, version 1.0.7*

I bought the survival mode and the game won't let me enter, it's a scam.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-01-24, version 1.0.7*

An amazing game with a gripping story and well-developed characters. I especially loved the decision-making aspect, as it added depth and made the journey feel personal. Highly recommend it!
