### 4/5 — Leider nicht in deutscher Sprache

*2026-06-14*

Leider ist das Spiel weder in Ton noch Text auf deutsch übersetzt worden, obwohl auf Steam und Konsole bereits eine deutsche Sprachausgabe existiert

### 3/5 — Русская локализация

*2025-08-11, version 2.5.17*

Купил полный пакет игр детства, читая отзывы, думал, что перевод добавили, но нет, русского языка нет до сих пор, хотя давно на стиме все переведено.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-03-20*

The spell far sight isn’t working

### 4/5 — A fantastic addition to an incredible series!

*2024-04-06*

As a massive fan of Baldur's Gate 1&2 I was sceptical of how good a new entry could be when it's developed by a completely new entity. Suffice to say I was more than impressed. 

There's quite a lot this game has going for it if you've played the originals. There are all sorts of callbacks and call-forwards to the previous and subsequent games and even to other Infinity Engine RPGs of the era. Many characters from BG1 make an appearance, and given the thinner writing on party members in the first game some of them get their first real times to shine. The new party members are quite enjoyable, and the story for the most part is pretty good. 

Sadly the story contains my two biggest issues: first that the end of the game can feel like you've suddenly been railroaded into a no-win scenario, which is sensible given it needs to set up Baldur's Gate 2, and the endings can still feel varied because of the actions of your party members and NPCs to how you are railroaded, so to speak. Second is that the villain's plot comes off as somewhat contrived, given the willingness of hordes of gullible masses to follow what is by all accounts a fool's errand with no hope of success. These two aspects aren't deal breakers by any means though, the game is still fantastic!

### 3/5 — Just like I remember

*2023-07-31*

Good game just like I remember 😜

### 2/5 — Where are other languages?

*2023-05-14, version 2.5.17*

There are many language options on PC version. Why is it still unavailable on iOS? Where is polish language?

### 4/5 — Обновление

*2022-06-11*

Пожалуйста,  обновления и русификатор в студию !

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Перевод теперь в игре.

### 2/5 — Wann werden neue Sprachen hinzugefügt ?

*2022-03-19*

Spiele auf den IPad und da gibts nur 2 Sprachen

**Developer response:** Hallo! Wir haben heute ein großes Update veröffentlicht.

### 3/5 — Spanish please.

*2022-03-17, version 2.5.17*

You said 3 years ago you would translate it to spanish. Still only english and portuguese.

### 2/5 — No full screen on iPad

*2022-02-28*

And no support on the official website! Just how dead is the support for this product? The black bezels has been a known issue on iPad Pro 2018 for the past 4 years…

### 2/5 — No apta para baldur EE en español

*2022-02-25, version 2.5.17*

No puedes continuar con tu jugador traído de Baldurs Gate I EE en español porque no lo acepta. Supongo que servirá con el inglés, pero para jugar al Siege hay q hacerse un jugador nuevo. Una enorme decepción.

3 Years yo develop a translación in spanish? Its a pitty you couldnt do it. Google can help you or many players

### 3/5 — Bug with scripts still a problem

*2022-02-18*

Hello - great port of a great game. But there’s still an unfixed bug that’s been around for several years. If you export a character, and import them into a new game (which I do when making custom party’s, as I make a few characters, launch a new game, then change my mind about half of them before we even go anywhere…) it completely breaks their scripts. I have a party of 4, and only the character made at the start of the New Game casts their long-casts defensive after rests (Advanced AI) and the others refuse to - no matter what other settings I change.

There is a fix, implemented by players only for the pc version as it makes use of the command console. But the console, and mods in general, aren’t natively supported in any easy way on iPad.

It’d be great if the devs could fix this?

I’d say the ipad versions of the series are great to have when travelling - and that’s a huge plus. But without mod support, you are missing out on an absolute wealth of content compared to the desktop versions, and so you are paying for portability rather than content. If portability doesn’t bother you, get the desktop versions - because honestly, some of the mods are phenomenal. And you can fix small hiccups like this bug.

### 3/5 — 15.11.2021 русского нету

### 1/5 — Blague

*2026-06-25*

Il serait si simple d’avoir 5 étoiles avec une traduction en français

### 1/5 — Русская локализация

Купил полный пакет игр детства, читая отзывы, думал, что перевод добавили, но нет, русского языка нет до сих пор, хотя давно на стиме все переведено. Добавьте перевод будет 5 звезд

*2025-10-11*

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Перевод внутри теперь!

### 1/5 — Crashes IPad soon after beginning game when interrupted

*2022-03-18*

Set up characters three times and crashed three times with no save and no record of characters ever being created.  First two were because of phone calls linked to iPhone. Disabled. Last was because of keyboard icon in corner blocking stuff. Need to have option to save characters set up in single player before manually making a save file.

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка

*2022-02-06*

3 года прошло а русификации нет :(((

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Теперь есть.

### 1/5 — Translate into spanish, please.

*2021-12-08, version 2.5.17*

Please, translate it to spanish….

### 1/5 — Why not

*2021-12-01, version 2.5.17*

Why the game is not available in Polish, since this game is available on GOG in polish version? Simliar situation like as Neverwinter Nights?

### 1/5 — Перевод

*2021-10-04*

Люди своими силами уже давно сделали перевод на русский язык, его вам отправили, но вы почему-то даже не хотите его добавить и выпустить обновление. 
Игра классная, но очень сложный английский. Надо реально играть постоянно переводя тексты и ломая голову. Не очень много удовольствия получаешь от такой игры. 
Обновите игру с русским переводом и поставлю 5 звёзд .

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Теперь перевод внутри.

### 1/5 — Hey beamdog!

*2021-08-01, version 2.5.17*

Where is the Polish version?

### 1/5 — Boring garbage

*2021-07-22*

I’ve tried twice to play this. I can’t even speed run it because it’s so bad, tedious, and boring. The writing is so cringe and out of place with the originals. This game should of never been made.

### 5/5 — 需要中文更新 Need Chinese!

*2025-08-04, version 2.5.17*

Actually, my English is not very good. I know this is an opportunity to practice English, but I still want to have Chinese, please!

### 5/5 — Нужен русский

*2024-04-20*

Игра прекрасна. Но придется вернуть обратно, так как обещали давно русский язык. Купил игру, а русского нет. Лет 6 уже перевод идет и никак не дойдет ) не хотелось бы, но возврат

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Русский язык теперь добавлен.

### 5/5 — Fantastic for IOS

*2024-04-14*

The Baldur’s gate games are great on PC, but for some reason they seem so much more manageable on a phone. I have a small screen, and am enjoying every minute of it!

### 5/5 — A fun interstitial

*2023-06-21*

I really enjoyed SoD and imo Mk’hiin alone would make it worth playing.

### 5/5 — Bon titre

*2022-04-10*

Après avoir refait BGEE et BG2EE, je me suis attaqué pour la première fois à SoD. C’est un jeu de bonne facture qui réjouira les fans en comblant une partie de l’ellipse entre les deux épisodes. Les personnages peuvent progresser de quelques niveaux, et peuvent être importés de BGEE et exportés dans BG2EE. La progression est assez linéaire et le scénario est probablement moins marquant que celui de jeux originaux, néanmoins le titre a des qualités indéniables : le scénario est cohérent , la bande originale de qualité, comme les textes d’ailleurs, qui pour le moment sont réservées à un lectorat anglophone. Cela dit le jeu sera loin d’être injouable si vous avez un anglais moyen mais si vous connaissez les mécanismes du jeu. Quand arrivera la mise à jour ?

### 5/5 — 需要中文

*2021-08-01, version 2.5.17*

希望可以有中文的更新

### 5/5 — Hervorragender Support

*2021-03-22*

Mein Spielvergnügen wurde durch fehlenden Ton getrübt. Der Support (en) wies mich darauf hin, dass die App den „Lautlosmodus“ respektiert. Siehe da, ich hatte das iPad aus irgendeinem Grund auf „lautlos“, aber nicht gemerkt, weil sich wenige Apps daran halten. Jetzt erklingt alles wieder. Danke!

### 5/5 — .

*2021-02-05*

Korean language, please.

### 5/5 — great addition to baldursgate saga

*2021-01-16*

ok, the writing have some problems but most important the gameplay is great ! and minsc and his spacemaster us back!

**Developer response:** Boo: Squeaks!

### 5/5 — I Hope They Keep Making These Types of Games

*2021-01-10*

I’m so glad they revived this series in the infinity engine for iOS.  These games are just such a pleasure to play, and while SoD lacks some of the explorative freedom and discovery of the earlier games, it still has great characters and all the little subplots that made the originals a blast to play through.  

I’d love it if they started another series, with new npcs and stories, regions to explore, etc.  And maybe premade player characters similar to Divinity 2 or something like that.  The story just seems more compelling when the character has a background rooted in the setting.  And some kind of game editor.  I’d buy all of it.  I wouldn’t even wait for a sale.  

Anyway, try it out.  It’s a great game, especially compared to most other rpgs on iOS. I mean, they got freaking David Warner to reprise his role from the earlier games.  That dudes a legit Shakespearean actor.   And there’s no coins or gems to buy to level up.  You just play through the story like a normal human being, meet people and have adventures.  

Try it out.
