Icewind Dale

A more combat oriented Baldur’s gate. In other words, a solid, huge RPG game experience. Poor UI detoriates the experience a bit. Touch controls are not accurate enough causing issues in some doorways. Target selection is also inaccurate and made worse by character portrait selection being bugged: character is not always changed and you end up commanding wrong chracter. Casting friendly spells through portraits also usually fails. Overall a nice but sometimes frustrating experience.

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.

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.

World icons just vanished! Can’t leave my current destination! I can’t believe this sort of bug exists in 2022.

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!!

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.

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

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.

Game is good and worthy of a download but there is a caveat - I don’t think the developer is supporting the game anymore. They promised a patch that never came and their support page no longer works. Hoping they’ll get around to it.
