### 3/5 — Great game but now nearly brokem

*2026-07-31, version 1.2.7*

I played this for hours. One of the best games that I've ever played. However, it no longer works properly on iPadOS. Characters become frozen for no reason, which halts the game unless it is saved, exited and reloaded - although even that sometimes does not cure the problem. It seems that there are to be no future updates.

### 3/5 — Please fix this annoying bug.

*2026-07-12, version 1.2.7*

This game is so bugged out that when I try to go through the vulkar base I end up not talking to any of the characters and I need you guys to please fix this so I can continue on. I keep restarting and I have to go all the way back to the beginning and it still is bugged so please fix this for me, I don’t want to have to delete and reinstall the game and losing all my progress, thank you.

### 2/5 — Really it only auto saves on the final mission of taris?

*2026-07-03, version 1.2.7*

I have to go through it all again, the janky ship fighting too. All because this game crashes

### 3/5 — Orientation

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.7*

enable auto-orientation for this game so I can play it with my game sir controller please dude please.

### 3/5 — Last missions ship

*2026-05-26, version 1.2.7*

I’m on the ship and for some reason it doesn’t let me go to the star forge can someone help with this glitch ?

### 2/5 — Great game but having issues

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.7*

I love this game but came across a very devastating glitch that ruined my game entirely. Well basically I landed on kashyyyk in KOTOR and played through normally, after getting Jolee Bindo on my team I passed the force field like normal. When I got to the mandalorians, however, the cutscene that leads to the fight didn’t play. Now I’m stuck watching them fight Rorworr with no way of interacting. And I forgot to save my game so I don’t have any previous save data that I can go too. Is there anything way to access old save data because none is appearing on my iCloud or game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-16, version 1.2.7*

Would like to see backbone controller support though. Only sort of works, it’s a bit clunky

### 3/5 — Controls

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.7*

I don’t understand why we can’t have a joy stick or be able to connect a controller or something. The controls suck and alone are they ruining the experience.

### 3/5 — Replayed on iPhone 16. SUPER BUGGY

*2026-02-22, version 1.2.7*

Love this game. Played a few times. Can’t play on iPad anymore. Cuts off after Malek/Bastilla fight and doesn’t load past it no matter what I do. Then tried to uninstall and reinstall, and no cloud saves were there. Oh well…it was awesome a long time ago.

### 3/5 — Eigentlich 5* aber

*2026-02-15, version 1.2.7*

Eigentlich ist das Spiel wirklich super, aber auf dem iPad Pro kann der Charakter nach jedem Kampf nicht mehr laufen. Ich muss die App jedes Mal neu starten. Außerdem steht in der Beschreibung, dass es eine deutsche Sprachausgabe geben soll das stimmt aber nicht. Das Cross-Save zwischen iPad und Mobilgerät funktioniert ebenfalls katastrophal.

### 5/5 — Languages :-(

*2026-02-08, version 1.2.7*

I need more languages :-( perfect game

### 4/5 — Love this game but…

*2026-02-05, version 1.2.7*

Swoop racing controls is probably the worst part of this game. Horrible navigation on that. Minor bugs and glitches but nothing (unless you never save) can’t be fixed without a quick reload. Amazing to play this on mobile and, I wasn’t expecting perfection by any means because this is a console game but…by god broken controls make me lose my mind. Fix the swoopracing mechanics and I’d call this a 10/10.

### 5/5 — Mobilde oyanayabileceğiniz en kaliteli rpg

*2026-01-29, version 1.2.7*

Pc versiyonundan daha da stabil, aşırı keyif aldım.

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2026-01-22, version 1.2.7*

Great game but I have trouble progressing maybe make it easier?

### 1/5 — Do NOT purchase POORLY OPTIMIZED

*2026-08-21, version 1.2.7*

Poorly optimized for M series phones and iPads, developer has not updated the game in a significant amount of time.  Game consistently freezes after enemy encounters and this is a well known bug.  The fix is to load a save file but on a game that requires 30 hours or so to beat, this is not something I want to deal with presumably hundreds of times.

### 1/5 — Abandoned by developers 6 years ago. Unplayable.

*2026-06-27, version 1.2.7*

KOTOR is buggy and broken in its current state. I could hardly get through the tutorial because of freezing, poor touch registration, and other glitches. The game has a real hard time registering taps and freezes up at most doors. Please make this game playable again. When the game does freeze I can tilt my phone to make the screen slightly move. If I set my phone flat on the counter, these freezes do not happen. Something is wrong with how the game reacts to the the phone tilting and changing angles.

Update: 
I made a new character to see if it would change things. While creating the character I was unable to get my taps to register during character creation. I had to restart a few times. When I finally made it through, I started the game and it froze during the cutscene where Trask enters through the door. I’m stuck staring at the door while the music plays and explosions go off in the background. I haven’t been able to even start the game.

### 1/5 — Micromanagement

*2026-06-20, version 1.2.7*

This game is not fun for me because it requires you to constantly loot and upgrade your equipment and manage the party. I am in the menu trying to optimize my team more than just playing a game and having fun.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.7*

They are still refusing to update this game years later but continue to make a profit off of it. Damn shame.

### 1/5 — Resolution

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.7*

Doesnt fit screen for 16e.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-04-27, version 1.2.7*

The game thinks the screen is way larger than it actually is. You can’t even get through the Home Screen

### 1/5 — Illegal

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.7*

Mandated trade for paperwork quest, mandated swoop race quest,
Multiple violations of light and dark,
Dark side points for criminal conduct,
Can use old saves to manipulate game

### 1/5 — My eyes

*2025-09-27, version 1.2.7*

Please oh please increase the render resolution my eyes hurt playing this game

### 1/5 — Horrible Port

*2025-09-26, version 1.2.7*

Great game. One star!

Port is horrible, abandoned by dev. Don’t even bother. Refund in progress

Controls are actual garbage and there is no controller support. No joystick either.

Game also has resolution issues on some devices but I don’t experience that.

Wait for a steam sale or Xbox sale. Don’t give this schmuck another dime.

### 1/5 — bad gameplay

*2025-09-25, version 1.2.7*

i’m sorry, i truly loved this game on pc, put many hours into it, but the controls on this mobile version are just unusable, i genuinely can not play at all. i barely was able to leave the spawn room after making a character. i requested a refund and hopefully one day the movement will be fixed and if so i will absolutely buy again. but till then i just cant

### 5/5 — Classic

*2026-08-26, version 1.2.7*

What number of play throughs am I on now? Seriously been playing this game for 30 years.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2026-08-17, version 1.2.7*

A classic childhood game now made accessible for the iPhone.  Truly nostalgic and well adapted.

### 5/5 — Best game on App Store.

*2026-08-11, version 1.2.7*

I love this game and have had it on any iphone I own since I found it on the store. I have played the first and second on console and computer and still own at least one copy of both games. I love having this one in my pocket. I have never had any issues and the great story and replay ability with the huge environments side quests and choices affecting you and those around you only makes it better. Honestly the only 2 bad things I can say is 1. Why can’t you make KOTOR2 available as well? I know it’s been awhile and all but if your ever playing a waiting game for a project to be approved or something please fiddle with making 2 available. (UPDATE: Thanks for making it available!) 2. I know it’s not part of the original game but I would love to see attacks more free form instead of a ordered list. Simply put this is possibly the best game in the store able to be fun for both Star Wars fans and those who are not. I am looking forward to trying Jade Empire by you guys which apparently is very similar.

### 5/5 — Great port

*2026-07-12, version 1.2.7*

Fantastic way to play the classic, the controls work great but obviously you cannot do the same things with movement as on PC and the racing or space shooting are tricky. Otherwise you are in for a thrilling story and a beast of an RPG

### 5/5 — Childhood

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.7*

This game is a representation of my entire childhood. I have never loved any game more than this. I just beat it for the first time and had a moment of pure joy. The storyline and plot is amazing, and it’s quite impressive for a game made in its age. Revan is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and nothing can change the elation I feel from this piece of art.

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2026-06-09, version 1.2.7*

Phenomenal game. Before kotor, i was lost, dejected. All my friends and family had left me, I had nothing to my name— not a cent, and everything i did was useless and I was drunk and alone, i was hauled to the hospital every second day and nothing could help me and i was dying. But now? Once I played this amazing game, everything became so clear— my life lit up with joy and happiness and amazingness and bliss and nothing will ever come close. I am also darth malaks no 1 fan. Everything about this game is spectacular, the plot, the gameplay, the progression, the way it healed my several illness. After playing this all the girls came flocking to me. Everything was good. Please download this game

### 5/5 — Controller support plz

*2026-05-10, version 1.2.7*

The Greatest game of all time needs it.

### 5/5 — 23 years & still bangin

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.7*

23 years & we still haven’t had a proper Star Wars game quite like this. Comparable to Mass Effect & even New Vegas in some ways & stands tantamount as the most imaginative & choice driven Star Wars experience of all time. I picked this game up at 7 years old & this & the sequel nonstop until I was about 10. Revisiting it now at 30, I couldn’t believe how much of it I remembered yet it still made me feel like new discoveries were around every corner. If you’re a Star Wars fan, it’s a must play. The lore alone is legendary but if you’re an RPG fan then it doesn’t get much closer to a pure rpg as this.

### 5/5 — You already know

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.7*

Incredible classic masterpiece of a Star Wars rpg

### 5/5 — Favorite childhood RPG

*2026-03-22, version 1.2.7*

This game brings me back to being a kid! It is a great game to play when waiting on something. The story is amazing just all around a good game! If you like rpg style games this would be the best game to start off on.
