Я честно говоря не представляю себе как можно играть в эти игры без клавиатуры и мышки. Оно прекрасно работало в оригинале, зачем было убирать поддержку устройств? Это база. Поэтому пока что ставлю 3 звезды и буду ожидать добавления опции “классического” управления в будующем. Пока что оформлять возврат не буду. ### 3/5 — No update for a long time and no keaboard support *2024-12-24* It is really sad that this game has no keyboard support and that developers didn‘t think about that support as this would be one of the most important things on ipad…. some small black borders wouldn‘t be a big deal if the aspect ratio is another one, but why is there no magic keyboard support? Numers for text passages and some inventory keys? **Developer response:** Hello! We've released a big update today. ### 3/5 — Severed hand *2024-12-10, version 2.5.17* Great game but when I click on severed hand nothing happenes. How do I get there ### 3/5 — At least make custom portrait possible *2024-02-26* At least make custom portrait possible please.. **Developer response:** Hi! It's now possible. https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/90724/2-7-baldurs-gate-icewind-dale-ees-update-new-languages-improved-cloud-support-mobile-modding#latest ### 4/5 — chinese *2023-10-29, version 2.5.17* Update Language Chinese ### 4/5 — Love this game but script problems made a character useless *2023-08-31, version 2.5.17* I love playing this game particularly on my iPad. However, about three chapters in, my thief stopped wanting to use his bow from a distance and standard charging mobs before he would fire an arrow, making him basically useless. I tried changing his script and that would fix it either. This is mentioned as a bug in the computer version but, since it is iPad, there’s no way to manually fix a character script. Please fix this melee bow bug. ### 3/5 — language *2023-05-08, version 2.5.17* Please add Chinese language. ### 4/5 — how to add new member? *2023-04-20* Hi, How to add a new member (character) to my group after I start a journey? during the jouney ### 2/5 — Разрешение в половину экрана на iPhone 12 Pro Max *2023-02-11* Поправьте разрешение экрана. У меня так же нет звука в игре ### 5/5 — Old School Dungeon Crawl at it's Best!!! *2022-09-02, version 2.5.17* It is literally my favorite game ever, at this point. The spacious atmosphere. The random items. The portraits and voice acting. Customizing parties to one's liking. On an iPad!!! Say what!!! For this gen-xer, this game is my Solitaire, my Mahjong, my Tetris, my go to when I want to chill. Thanks Beamdog!!! Rufff!! ### 3/5 — Connection Issues *2022-08-11, version 2.5.17* I would like to start off by saying yet another great emulation of a great game. This is going to be my first full play through and I’m trying to connect with my brother via online multiplayer however, I am unstable to connect or even find the game. I am on iOS he is on Mac. The description calls out “cross-platform” and both devices are listed as compatible. Not sure what the issue is but will stay 3/5 until the problem is resolved. If it is just my ignorance on connecting I will apologize. ### 3/5 — Screen resolution doesn’t fit iPhone 12 Pro *2022-08-02* Where is patch with fixes of resolution? ### 3/5 — Orrick *2022-07-20, version 2.5.17* When are we getting a patch to solve Orrick’s inventory issue? It’s getting old already… ### 2/5 — No way to rotate party formation *2022-07-11, version 2.5.17* I was really excited to get started, but my heart sank when I found out there’s no way to set the facing of your party formation when moving. In the original you could accomplish this using right click + hold to move. On iOS right click is long press, but a long press + hold pans the camera instead. Setting the facing of your party is extremely important for tactics and for navigating tight spaces. Without a way to do this quickly, the only way is to move each character individual—very cumbersome for a 6 man party. Because of this lack of just one feature I can’t give it more than 2 stars. It is that important. I’d rather lose the ability to zoom the camera than to lose the ability to easily set party facing ### 3/5 — A Few Issues Still *2022-05-16, version 2.5.17* The toggle for the highest difficulty mode, Heart of Fury, is still broken and has been as long as I’ve had this game. It does not matter how many times you put it on this difficulty level, it will reset to the next difficulty lower than this each time you reload the game. It also does not always take place immediately, you have to pass through a zone for the difficulty to change after you flip it back. This is a real pain in the rear. In addition, it sure would be nice to have the ability to add custom portraits on iOS like Baldurs Gate or Neverwinter nights. The number of portraits that come with the game is pretty limited. ### 2/5 — Atualização *2022-05-02* A versão de pc já está a mais de 1 ano em pt br, e a de ios não é atualizada faz 3 anos+, esse jogo está esquecido pela produtora ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-07-25, version 2.7.3* Do not buy game is HORRIBLE. Cannot get characters to behave properly or use their abilities. horrid on so many aspects, not worth my time ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing on iPad *2025-11-27, version 2.5.17* I refuse to create another party just to have the game crash before I can save it. I get it’s an older game, but its still frustrating ### 1/5 — crossplay doesnt work *2023-08-20* i cant join my friends on pc and cant see any lobbies **Developer response:** Hello! We've released a big update today, so the PC version should be compatible. ### 1/5 — Bugged trash *2022-10-29, version 2.5.17* World icons just vanished! Can’t leave my current destination! I can’t believe this sort of bug exists in 2022. ### 1/5 — Я не буду ныть про локализацию 😼 *2022-04-29* Но, вашуж мать, запилите разрешение под iPhone 6 plus!!!!! 🙈 И для 13 pro … Деньги на ветер ### 1/5 — Не загружается *2022-03-26* Купил приложение, скачиваю в который раз, но оно доходит до края загрузки и сбрасывается, не скачавшись ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-02-01, version 2.5.17* Redundant and poor combat ### 1/5 — Can’t play on IPhone *2021-03-07, version 2.5.17* The game looks great, and I’m sure it is fun on a computer. But it is not playable on the iPhone. I can’t get past the first combat, can’t command the characters to really do anything. There is not a manual to help either. I had to give up on this after 1 day of trying to make it work and except it is just not fun when you can’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Very bad, this my iPad 12.9 inch display, DO NOT BUY. YOU WILL BE VERY UPSET. *2020-12-17, version 2.5.17* Cannot get this game to size up to my screen ### 1/5 — !!! *2020-12-09* Сделайте нормальное разрешение экрана, на iPhone 11 играть не возможно, после 5 минут глаза адски устают **Developer response:** Hello! We're working on the next (2.6) patch for these games and one aspect we plan to address is the games' compatibility with newer mobile OS and devices. You can track the patch's progress here: https://forums.beamdog.com/categories/the-road-to-2-6 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent port *2026-06-10, version 2.5.17* A true classic in turn based story telling. Well worth the price based on hours and hours of gameplay with no tedious asks for more $ due to recurring blocks. ### 5/5 — 말할필요가 있나요 *2025-10-07* 발더시리즈는 명작중에 명작 ### 5/5 — Needs update for latest iPadOS *2024-11-17, version 2.5.17* Please update this app to support fullscreen mode on the latest iPadOS. Currently it can only run in a window, not covering the full screen. ### 5/5 — Must Play!!! One of the Greatest Classics Ever! *2024-11-17, version 2.5.17* I am obsessed with dungeons and dragons lately and this game is the perfect fix. I even prefer my iPad version over my console version, although the original PC is still the best version. This version is streamlined for mobile and they did a good job with it. I love coming up with different party scenarios to try and then making a run thru the game. Even though I have most everything memorized by now there's still something so comforting about these games, including Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, etc. I never get bored or tire of these games and it's a must they remain on my tablet. I highly recommend any of these games. ### 5/5 — Gram w Icewind Dale od 1999 *2023-11-25, version 2.5.17* Enhanced Edition w przypadku TEJ gry to strzał w dziesiątkę (z Baldurami trochę przegięli). Wersja na iPada tylko „umobilniła” moje uzależnienie :) ### 5/5 — Enjoyed an old game again *2023-08-28, version 2.5.17* I have not had any technical or other issues I see in some reviews. What I like most about this game is that it is one of the only games I can find that you can roll and design a multi character party. 6 characters of various classes. Nearly every game on IOS like this is one character only….i much prefer having my own characters making up a large party. Game is actually 3 “modules” in one. There are 2 larger adventures and one shorter one. Love everything about it. ### 5/5 — 中文 *2023-08-12, version 2.5.17* we need Chinese ### 5/5 — Brilliant game brought back *2023-07-02, version 2.5.17* If you grew up in the era when the games came on CDs and new games got announced in printed press, together with the reviews and “solutions”, you’ll very much appreciate this gem. ### 5/5 — That was cool. *2023-04-14, version 2.5.17* My first game on iPad. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-09-06, version 2.5.17* I wish there were an Icewind Dale 2 EE for the iPad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
