### 2/5 — Eye of Beholder 2:Legend of Darkmoon

*2026-02-28, version 1.0.8*

Starts off great, engaging and is the right challenge level. I am unable to continue in certain areas. Level 2 of Azure tower requires getting past elderly elf heads by using dispel magic I think, but as a fighter I cannot do this. My magic using companions cannot target an object with this spell. Is this a bug? Would really like to finish the game.

### 3/5 — can't down module

*2026-01-25*

already bought “tryants of the moonsea”but cannot download ，says“unsupported url”

### 4/5 — Really good!

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.8*

One of the best games to play on iPad. External keyboard and mouse controls work really well, would be good if they fixed some bugs like the game not working on external displays and shared pausing not working in multiplayer.

### 4/5 — Update please

*2025-09-17, version 1.0.7*

Trying to run the Eye of the beholder campaign and App is telling me that I need an update to run, however your last update stated that App is current to PC version?  Thanks

### 3/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎

*2025-08-16*

The game is very good but without translation into Brazilian Portuguese it is bad. I hope the developers understand me and solve this because a lot of people didn't play it (from Brazil) because of the lack of translation.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-07-13, version 1.0.7*

Mediocre at best, unless you like spending half your play time swinging at (and missing) locked chests. Navigating on the iPad takes some time and is frustrating. The game seriously lacks the immersion and exposition of the earlier Bauldurs gate package (by the same folks, try that package it’s amazing. Also   2e adnd rules that appeal to me more, being 42 years old) I’ll keep playing since i bought it.

### 4/5 — Needs Controller Support

*2025-07-09, version 1.0.7*

The mobile version of this game is a great value for the price, but I would love to play it with my Backbone controller. Please add support devs!

### 4/5 — Great game but crashes a lot

*2025-06-15, version 1.0.7*

Great game but crashes a lot when you play any audio but neverwinter nights audio. So that means no apple music playing in background. The port itself is good for ios. It’s a lot of fun to have mods in the game to use.

### 4/5 — Multi-Classing Broken

*2025-03-18, version 1.0.7*

The release notes say that it supports up to 8 multi-classes, but upon level-up, I can never choose a fourth class.

### 5/5 — Worth the money!!

*2025-03-17, version 1.0.7*

I absolutely love this game. It’s so much fun and there’s hourssssss of gameplay. 10/10

### 5/5 — Бальзам ностальгический

*2025-01-31*

Нежно люблю эту игру с нулевых, это моя самая первая РПГ на ПК, даже храню до сих пор постер с Арибет из Игромании тех времен))) Порт прекрасен! Очень удобное управление, даже удобнее, чем на компе)) графика доработана, текстурки все стали четкие, особенно лица)) с переводом нет проблем, без айтюнс все на айпад легко в файлы закидывается, игру установила в январе 2025 и русификатор встал правильно, никаких иероглифов. Спасибо большое издателю за релиз этой версии!! От души ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — beautiful game

*2025-01-28, version 1.0.7*

even by today's standards, and it looks gorgeous on ipad. Hopefully NW2 will be on ipad as well!

Believe it or not I like more this than Divinity Original Sin 2 , which I did not like at all

### 5/5 — A classic

*2025-01-19, version 1.0.7*

An unforgettable and epic adventure from start to finish.

### 1/5 — DLC Won’t Download

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.8*

Purchased this game in the hopes to relive my old PC Diamond Edition days and everything was working fine till I realized that there was DLC for free and pay for DLC. So I bought the Heroes of Neverwinter and it won’t let me install any of the DLC. Can someone explain this to me?

### 1/5 — Right Click does not work

*2026-02-24, version 1.0.8*

I have found that the “Right Click” on the Mac version of NeverWinter Nights does not work.  This means you can’t examine the items in your inventory and makes the games useless.  I recommend you don’t buy for a Mac until this problem is fixed.

### 1/5 — Multiplayer won’t work!

*2025-07-15, version 1.0.7*

Bought to play with my bf, we spent days trying to get it to work but nothing we do worked to play together. Waste of money. If you can’t actually play together don’t advertise you can. Chat boards are riddled with others complaining of same issue for years but still no resolution?!? 😱

### 1/5 — Нету русского языка, русофобы

*2025-02-09*

900₽ в печку, как оказалось русского языка нету. Предыдущий комментарий не помог с заменой файлов, там просто символы никаких букв даже. Мдааа… Почему я плачу деньги и не могу поиграть в не когда любимую игру? Почему русский язык убрали что за русофобия?

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-01-23, version 1.0.7*

Game on ios ipad air is unplayably low fps when starting the game. Multiplayer server works fine but not single player campaign. I have no idea how to fix it but the game shouldnt be this bad on start

### 1/5 — Lastest update makes the interface too small

*2025-01-18, version 1.0.7*

I have been playing NWN for many years first on a computer but now on my phone an IPhone 11. Before the update I had no problems with playing on my phone but now everything is too small to intact with the interface and the text bubbles and much harder to read and interact with, I really hope there is a fix in the works for this, I really enjoy playing.

### 1/5 — Latest updates make it hard for shortsighted folks

*2025-01-12, version 1.0.7*

The latest Updates V88.8193.36-13 [54 (1.0.7)] makes the UI terrible for folks with vision issues. Everything is now too small for older eyes. 

The UI controls allows for me to adjust…and make it even smaller and tinier. 

Its now unplayable for me on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Oh why did they have to fix something that wasn’t broken? It was visually perfect before.

Can’t play what I can’t see. One star.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-01-03, version 1.0.6*

Impossible to understand; dated graphics; gameplay is infuriating. Do not buy.

### 1/5 — Great game but crashes a lot

*2024-02-23, version 1.0.6*

Great game but crashes a lot when you play any audio but neverwinter nights audio. So that means no apple music playing in background. There is no longer cross-save anymore. You can only transfers saves from ios to pc. But not vice versa. Not compatible with all override mods on neverwinter vault.

### 1/5 — Downloads problem

*2024-02-06*

Impossible to download French languages or any content

### 5/5 — The best and unforgettable memories I’ve had

*2026-03-11, version 1.0.8*

Works great met many friends created discord called Geist train with a wave of my hand legions of elite warriors rise and nations (servers) are conquered

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-18, version 1.0.8*

This is an awesome game but I wish it had controller support

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic iPad game

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.8*

Truly can’t get much better of an experience now. DoS:2 and Bg1 / 2 are about the only games that trump this for me. Overall there’s been a lot of work to make this run smoothly on even the older iPads. I set the iCloud saves up so I can easily transfer them between PC and iOS. My biggest problem is that the mouse controls don’t actually work, or at least I couldn’t get them to work despite the options being there, and having a mouse connected

### 5/5 — Легендарная игра

*2025-12-18*

Отличный порт с ПК на iOS этой легенды РПГ. Играбельно что на iPad, что на iPhone. После нескольких простых манипуляций, описанных в комментариях к этой же игре тут, ставится русский язык. Установил - разблокировал школьные воспоминания и пошел спасать Neverwinter. Однозначно советую.

### 5/5 — Great Game but cannot update

*2025-11-18, version 1.0.8*

I have played the game daily on a permanent world but cannot update the app.  The button just says, ‘open’ on this iPad Pro.  I tested on an old iPad Pro and have updated to the latest version there.  I have the latest iPadOS

### 5/5 — Classic pc NWN ported

*2025-11-14, version 1.0.7*

I have owned this since it came out. It waited to do the review until I really spent some time with the game.

I bought NWN for pc back when it came out and the expansions.
This is a great port.
Some things I like: when you put up your phone to do things or goto the Home Screen the game stays up without draining the battery. The game does not reset or have issues resuming.

Another thing: the game play uses up very little battery life running in performance mode on my IPhone 16 pro max. Out of all the games I have and I have the best AAA games this one runs great. 

The character I have right now is a Rogue/fighter/Blackguard I’m progressing through the first campaign. Then doing the expansions I never beat.

Let me also add to this review: you can do all the PC CONSOLE command codes by doing ## before a command. The first command is ##DebugMode 1
After that all the commands work with ##(command) (2nd part of command data). You input these using the chat button, which is to the right above the action bar.

If your game touch screen mouse becomes bugged at a point after using some commands and appears like the icon of an item you summoned just save and reload and it will be fixed but you will have to enable debug mode again.

### 5/5 — Five Stars

*2025-05-28, version 1.0.7*

Been playing since well, I have gold and platinum editions in box with all the goodies.  Now I play on a device smaller than the manual. This is killer🤘

### 5/5 — Horrible UI and resolution on latest update (FIXED)

*2025-04-01, version 1.0.7*

(UPDATE) Found the solution to UI scaling too small:
Game Options > UI > Advanced > UI Unconstrain Scale (default OFF, change to ON) > Restart game.
Could then increase the scaling above max value of 1.6 - be mindful though as if you go too high seems like it can break the view.
———
Was perfectly fine before recent update (1.0.7), now everything is far too small - hard to see, hard to click, much worse experience overall. UI scaling maxxed out at 1.6 - no way to increase higher than that unfortunately. Please fix this issue :(

### 5/5 — beautiful game

*2025-04-01, version 1.0.7*

even by today's standards, and it looks gorgeous on ipad. Hopefully NW2 will be on ipad as well! Believe it or not I like more this than Divinity Original Sin 2 , which I did not like at all. 

I tried all the most famous rpgs, or most of them....in the end, I deem this one the best EVER. Just played the Hordes of the Underdark adventure, what a blast.

### 5/5 — Not a new user

*2025-03-23, version 1.0.7*

I got the diamond edition for pc years ago when windows 98 was a thing. Got it again from beamdog for my android tablet.Now I’m getting it a third time for my iPad mini.
Thanks for keeping it available.
