Siege of Dragonspear Wiki

Apparently that above reviewer never actually played Baldur’s Gate. This is an amazing and lovingly restored and reconstructed chapter between BG1 and Shadows of Amn, the story is full of a lot of foreshadowing for the next game, without any spoilers, the item management and navigation is well executed for touch displays and much better than the original or even the computer enhanced edition with the one exception of item description which is a long press, something that can take a second to master, but not that long. Like any real rpg the game is what you decide it will be. So no, you don’t have to fight the big bad villain, yes you might not save a particular character, and the characters you interact with, or not, are up to you. That being said, he new and returning character were perfectly rendered with what sounds like original voices! The banter and jokes are perfect and the new characters, especially Glint, are some of the best of the entire series. This is an extension to BG1 (the chapter numbers even continue), this is an interlude before the BG2, this is not an expansive involved epic. Right there in the description it says 25 hours, I sunk at least 100 into BG2. However siege of Dragonspear is EXCELLENT. Any Bioware fan will love it, and any BG fan must play it!

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.

I have been waiting since this was announced for the tablet version and it has been more than worth the wait. Now you can play the series in its entirety across multiple platforms and devices. It is easy to send saves between PC’s and iOS devices as well as custom portraits for players. That is as much of a mod as I could manage on my iPad and iPhone X. The AI updates make this more of a challenge especially with the larger battles but you can still adjust the difficulty if you need a little help. The import is the only thing that needs better instructions or a link to the forums to explain things in depth.

I am pretty impressed by this “midquel” that bridges the gap between the classic Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II. So far everything has been smooth and the engine seems to be a real improvement. I’ve played for a month, including the beta, and have yet to find a problem that wasn’t my own doing. The only issue I’ve had was that I didn’t know that exporting a game from BGEE requires doing a long tap on the ‘quicksave’ icon. If I’d read the documentation I’d have known this, but that would have meant losing all my programmer certifications. The plot is a bit linear, but given that it bridges BG1 and BG2, that’s no surprise.

I absolutely loved playing this game. As a novice rpg player this game, as well as the others available in the Infinity Collection, have turned me on to rpg and I haven’t looked back. The characters, story line and side quests are all so entertaining and interesting. I LOVE that there are different levels of difficulty to chose from; I like to focus on the storyline a bit more than combat and this allows me to do that perfectly. My only issue is that I’ve played all of the Overhaul games available on iOs and I’m “patiently” looking forward to more from this developer! They definitely have a loyal fan in me.

Finally!!!! It’s on the iOS store!!! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this game since its announcement back in 2015, and it’s initial release in 2016. I don’t know if the silly complainers back then and the ‘controversy’ delayed this release on iOS, and if so that’s really unfortunate - SHAME ON THEM.. I have the GOG version as well, but my current campaigns I had played out in the first game were on my iOS device, and now my 2 fully leveled BhaalSpawn characters - Dragon Disciple J’allan UlDragos and Paladin Jaana Flamehair can FINALLY continue past the first adventure!!!! HUZZAH!!!! 🍺🤘🏻 Thanks BEAMDOG!!! Keep up the excellent work!!!

Good developer support and a great, classic RPG style game - thanks for response and prompt fix. [Character import is broken. I export from BGEE, go to party creation, import, and you can’t do anything further. You literally cannot form a party of imported characters. So, I have no idea if the rest of the game is good or not, as I’m not starting over from scratch when I have huge time invested already in my BG character. Please fix....]

As a 20 year player of the BG series I was very happy with this addition. Beamdog have done an excellent job of keeping to the spirit of BG while bringing updates to mechanics, enemy types, and storytelling. Lots of returning cast from the series. It feels like a game BioWare would have made in today’s gaming world. A ton of content for the price that does a good job of tying BG1 and BG2 together. Highly recommend this expansion.

I imported my character easily from BGEE and really enjoy the game. Played BG2EE, IWDEE, and P:TEE, all on IPad, and this is more of the same goodness. New characters are great, old characters are fun to reminisce with. The port works perfectly and has the same control scheme on iOS as the other games. Great job by developer to port this over and I really hope they do the same for NWN when it is ready. Thanks for your efforts!

The other infinity games from beamdog work on iOS 8 or later. Whereas SoD requires 11 or later. So I'm stuck using my iPhone instead of iPad since my iPad maxes at iOS 10.3. Which is a killer.

I was very much enjoying the game, having been a fan of the originals. However the flaw I found was that there is no apparent way to transfer a save file from one device to another. The game needs a cloud save type of feature so that it can be played across devices. As it stands I am currently unable to play as much as I would like to since the device I have the game originally installed on is not the device I get to use on a daily basis.

So far I have been enjoying the game but the activating the menhir quest seems to have a bug. Four of six have activated, the other two just display their descriptions over and over. Hope this will be fixed in an update soon.

This is my first review of any app so take that into consideration while you read. I’m a HUGE fan of NWN and BG and couldn’t wait to delve into this new game. Once it start I realized this was worse than original Atari Asteroids. First it’s difficult to navigate, as an example trying to hold an item for a description is like beating your against a brick wall. Takes maybe 5-15 tries to work per item. The game is riddles with bugs, extremely hard to work through varies quests, can’t get certain dialogs options to start, and many many places where you’ll miss opportunities and/or items because the game doesn’t allow for all paths to be used. In other words, if you don’t follow their specific path, you’ll not have the chance to save people, talk to others, thereby missing out. Finally, the story is so horrible it’s like a child from the 3rd grade wrote it. Most of the normal character you can’t get right away and most of the other you can have join your party are drow, goblin, and a half orc which all give you a negative reputation. Seriously, why...??? The very end of the game happens leaving a significant character not saved along with a significant villain not even fought. Not a SINGLE REASON to have either in the game yet there and yet every cut scene is with the “Hooded Man” which you don’t even get to fight. Absolute horrible and I’ll sum it all up I’m one word...JUNK!!!

I didn’t mean to purchase this one I thought I had cancelled it and it still went through. I uninstalled it because I’ve never played these games and it gives no tutorial. I tried to get a refund once I got my receipt and it says it’s not eligible. I’m on an XS Max and it shrinks the screen about a half inch from each side making it way too small. It would be fine size wise if it wasn’t shrunk. $10 and can’t even get a refund.
