Good game, broken now with last update
Response from developer
Try backuping then deleting settings and maybe saves too. I had this very very issue and it helped me.
Love this! One problem.
Response from developer
Hey, just checked, everything works just okay. What issues do you have with the screen keyboard?
Needs bug fixes. Constant crashing!
good game but have some bugs
Big love
One issue though… settings and options menu don’t seem to accept keyboard inputs (like key bindings menu or for when setting the volume for sound packs)
Response from developer
Update and its gone! Now it's single purchase, and for all who bought it while it was free+subscription it becomes totally free. Enjoy.
UI Disaster
Side note the subscription is advertised as ongoing update support and the game hasn’t been updated in over a year….and the UI desperately needs fixing.
Second I had to spend an hour and a half just resizing the sidebar so it didn’t eat half the screen the option to change the sidebars layout isn’t available in settings so good luck finding it. Also once you find it and select the best layout….its “compact” btw, you will still need to go into settings and change the values on the terminal width and height, doing both of those things from separate menus will let you have most of your screen, to see the actual games environment.
3rd the UI doesn’t work consistently and is clunky. The biggest offender was the quick hot keys and key bindings, they would change what they do or would become non-responsive (this was not a caps lock issue). Example, in combat the quick actions menu has the * key mapped to cycle targets…it worked once but after firing my gun, every other time the * key was pressed in either the quick actions menu or on the keyboard, it instead opened a construction menu from that point forward ….the same happened with the f key, it fired my weapon 1 time and then instead on all subsequent inputs opened an entirely different menu of actions only one of which was combat and when pressing the offered combat key in that menu…..it did nothing but close the menu.
4. Movement…if you ever see an enemy, you can no longer move without opening the combat menu and telling the game to ignore it, then you can move about 3 tiles and then you need to impute the command again….it is exceedingly tedious.
5. There is zero sound in this game, absolutely non. Music and sound effect packs exist for this game and non are included.
Response from developer
All the gameplay issues (2-5) you mentioned are related to the base game itself and had nothing to do with mobile port. The one-time purchase was there in past, and there is no way to delete it from the app store. There is no such option now: only subscription. And yes, I haven't updated the game for a year. Still it's the latest version available in the app store: the other ones are way older. Hopefully I'll updated it sooner or later.
Why a subscription?
Just a scam
Response from developer
Just go play on desktop: it's really way better on a bigger screen and with keyboard. Those who REALLY want to play it on iOS don't hesitate to pay a single buck a month for it.
Subscription based. AVOID. A
Not a fan of a yearly sub. one time buy maybe.
The UI is shifted compared to the other ports, and game pad on the bottom left is clipping with the phone making the diagonal bottom left very hard to tap.
UPDATE: The developer seems to not really care as the UI is still misaligned. I would avoid.
Response from developer
EDIT: I'm playing on iPhone 13 max and just double checked on iPhone 16 max — no difference, works as expected: cannot misclick. If there's something specific with iPhone 16, please, let me know the details. Thank you for your review. The gamepad is there to prevent misclicks. Earlier it was positioned not to clip, but that resulted in multitude of rages when I wanted to take a single step, but misclick led the character somewhere else that led to death. Hence this.

Menus have stopped working
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. Please add more details and a screen shot or better screen record at https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 Also have you tried restarting a coupe of times? Sometimes the menu just hang and restart fixes this.
Would buy with more guarantees
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. Since this app is aimed to provide the latest versions of both games, it is up to core developers to make decisions about balance and bug fixes. This app updates then to the latest stable version, whatever that means. While it would be possible to contain more than one version of each game inside this app, it would also bloat the size of the app and, I believe, positively influence only some very small amount of players. If it would be some config options in-game or config files that would help tune balance, for example, it would be nice, but please address core developers to implement it.

Menu stuck after saving
edit to respond to dev: Yes I have already submitted a support ticket on your website.
Response from developer
Please report more details to https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1, I'll try to help. Edit: yes, thank you, I see it and marked it as important, but ATM I have very little time. I hope to take a look at this week. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.
completely broken
Response from developer
Everything works, menus don't pile up, keyboard opens and closes as expected. What exact issues are you having? In which of 2 games? What's your device? OS version? Post a support request at https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1, attach screen shots or better video records. And I'll try to help.
Good good, BN still needs some attention

The port works quite well once you get used to it, but it could use more regular updates. Assuming the updates are continuing I see no issue with the subscription fee. Also, the page down and page up controls are not set by default so you need to change them to something that works such as 3 and 9. Finally, a sound pack would be nice I was disappointed there were no sound effects.
Thanks for bringing this to iOS!

to
see more of the information in menus and descriptions
The game is great, which is why I subscribed to have it on iPhone also, but this issue makes it hard to enjoy it properly. Hopefully this can be resolved.
Spent a lot of time making a custom micro keyboard configuration with xkeyboard to play this and then discovered this graphic options issue. Bummer
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. I'll take a look: I thought this issue was resolved long ago, but appears it’s not.
будут ли обновления?
Response from developer
Здравствуйте. Спасибо за отзыв. Обновления выходят, правда, стабильных версий давно не было, поэтому приложение давненько не обновлялось. Эта версия от другой отличается, в первую очередь, тем, что тут 2 игры в одной: и BN, и DDA, а в другой — только BN. Ну и моделью оплаты: тут подписка, там — фикс. PS. Видел ваше обращение в поддержку, но что-то у меня портал поддержки не грузится. Либо санкции, либо одно из двух. Отдельное спасибо, что продублировали в отзыв 😌
