Five star failure!!
Wed Dec 27 2023 That0n3GuyyWho wants to spend all this money and time on something just for a bug that doesn’t allow you to get off of Telos and finish the game. Never will I ever purchased another game like this and I hope nobody else does either because it is robbery to charge that much for this many bugs.!!!
After boarding the ebon hawk for the first time at the telos Jedi training facility, the game glitches and will not allow the player to leave the ebon hawk or activate star map. On the way to the cockpit, the game will glitch and you can see through walls and the cockpit will not fully load showing clear signs of glitching. If you save the game and reload the game, it will put you back into the game as a random white skinned Jedi, with a blue light saber and a dark skinned portrait of a woman. The game will let you save before you enter the ebon hawk for the first time at the Jedi training facility on Telos without glitching, but once you enter the ebon hawk and it cuts to the scenes once you’re on the ebon Hawk, the game will not allow you to do anything. I have taken screenshots to prove it because I really don’t want to quit this game but I will because I have spent money on it just for it to mess up like this.
Finally here! The best and darkest Star Wars
Fri Dec 18 2020 player_1984321212First off I just wanna say I’m so thankful this game is finally here I’ve been hoping for this port to be able to cross over to the phones for so long. I love the first game but the second game was the first one I played out of the two and I was blown away by the amazing role-playing mechanics and story. The best thing about this game are the characters and how the characters are the focus and this one a lot more. Influencing your companions to make them into Jedis or sets is one of the most satisfying payoffs in this 30+ our video game. In short you definitely want to buy this and have it on your phone to be able to play wherever you go it is a timeless classic and my favorite piece of Star Wars media out of every game movie or TV show. Kreia is the most interesting and best character ever.
My only complaint is I noticed the characters running speed is significantly slower than what it was on PC and Xbox. Please adjust this so that running speed is as fast or even faster than the original game. The KOTOR 1 port to the phone had boosted the running speed for the player so I’m sure Aspyr can also fix this with KOTOR 2.
Thank you!
Interface issues
Sat Feb 13 2021 shekslfbidjsThis game rocks and I’m glad to see it’s on mobile, I just had a problem with the interface text being too small and the hud should be redesigned to look normal on newer phones. I also suggest that they move the quicksave button far away from the options button. This is very minor, but it slightly bothered me how a lot of the menu buttons are light blue when the rest of game is mostly green themed. That’s about it. I remember seeing a review on kotor 1 about someone being upset that the button to spin your swords from the original game was removed on the mobile version and it upset them because they used to spam that button all the time, as I’m sure we all have, and they added that button in the mobile version of this game, so if that doesn’t make you want to buy it, I don’t know what will. Oh yeah, and fix the bug where the audio cuts out after a phone call.
Buggy and some Serious inconsistencies.
Mon Sep 25 2023 MothCamI’m a huge fan of this game which is why I’m writing this review. I love that it has been made available to play through the App Store. However there are some serious fundamental problems with the game that make it a very frustrating experience. For example there’s one puzzle in particular that’s in the tomb of a certain Sith Lord that required the player to solve a math equation. After trying for over an hour to figure this puzzle out I realized that not only did the devs ignore order of operations but when I entered the “correct” sequence of operations it told me I got it wrong each time.
It’s such a bad feeling in games when there’s a puzzle that’s really tough, you’ve given it your all, you simply can’t figure it out, and you feel you have no recourse but to move on from the unsolved task.
It’s even WORSE when you do figure it out, second guess yourself and look up the answer online only to find out that you were correct in the first place and the only thing between you & your treasure is bad design. 😞
Top tier w/ room for improvement
Sat Nov 12 2022 nicknac_nicGreat port to mobile. Have loved this series for the longest time, remember playing it on original Xbox.
My only ask, find a way to pay the devs and give an optional install for the steam restored content mod.
Fixing dialog options with HK47, the telos conservation area, etc..
Observations:
- when you select a force power (heal, speed, etc) and use it, after portaling into the next area, the menu resets at the top. Would be great to be able to keep it on last selected item (or an option to enable it). True of all cutscene fights too, super tedious when trying to force speed out of somewhere like cantina on telos or using any guide/speeder
- controls for swoop races, would be great for input sensitivity changes. Feels a little sluggish and the jump button could be bigger
- if no restored content mod, quest dismissal for some of the bugged ones? 😄
- option to enable double tap for dialog? Sometimes trying to select remains or spin the camera results in a funny endless talking to someone loop
- Fun bug in doing echani training with handmaiden, if you equip a weapon right as it loads you kill her for real. Try to leave the ebon hawk and her companion image is blank and says “I’m broken. I’m so sorry.” Good spot for an achievement or easter egg
Thanks to all. Great game ❤️
Good game just wish it had some features
Sun Jun 06 2021 1000000000000000000000000000*I’ve finished this game and I did finish it as soon as it came out on iOS but I wish that their were achievements for certain things like if you finish the game and beat Kreia then you can start a new game with cheats on letting you add whatever you want from the game into your inventory or when you beat Sion or nilus you can start the new game wearing their armor if you complete the game with at least 75% dark side you at level 20 get the force ability of force sabers or at 75% light you at level 20 get world knowledge or if you finish at complete gray Jedi or Sith then you get at Korriban or a hidden chest on Dantooine you get a light side or dark side of Revan’s armor or lightsabers. That was a lot and I just want something new o the game because I’ve just gotten bored of the repetitive story with the same items
LBeautiful, just beautiful
Fri Dec 18 2020 ArthasmySonTotally worth the pre-order! Huge nostalgia rush, loved the first one and the sequel even more. I’m so grateful for this, especially since Aspyr said (what feels like long ago) they likely wouldn’t do this. All I can say is: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Now the only thing, just ONE thing, is I’m a little sad that this is the cut content version that was released on launch back in the day. Though I’m hopeful updates may restore the full version.
Regardless, cut or not, this game gets 5 stars from me right off the bat. Runs way better than it did on my old computer back then as well haha! I remember having to install a bunch of patches and fixes. Now it’s all on smartphones, just amazing how times have changed. Once again a big thanks to Aspyr for this, I rarely write reviews at all but this was so worth a 5 star.
Ducking amazing
Thu Aug 04 2022 moon_broThis game is the best space rpg I’ve played since Star Wars The Old Republic. I haven’t beaten the first one yet since I’m stuck on Taris. Playing the path of the dark side is so well done. It took me 30+ hours to beat this game. Mostly looking for quest items. Romancing Visas Marr and causing the woman in white to fight with her was awesome. The pilot-smuggler is a classic piece of Star Wars. All the while, Kreia is planning to betray you yet you kill her anyway. Watching the exile go from fair toned and human to sickly pale with yellow eyes is an astounding process that I didn’t notice until I was on Onderon. Too bad it’s unfinished. There is a mod on PC however that restores most cut content. Overall, Obsidian deserves better with what happened to KOTOR III. The trilogy must be completed.
Still one of my all-time favorites
Thu Feb 04 2021 JaidenSatoWhen I saw that KOTOR 2 had finally been ported to iOS, I bought it right away. I played this game over and over when it first came out in 2004, and no matter how many times I’ve played it, it’s never come out the same way twice.
I love KOTOR 2 for the customization of the characters and the fact that the story is about the PC. As much as I love KOTOR 1, it always felt like it was more about your companions than the PC, even with the big twist near the end of the game.
I’m already on my second play through since I bought the game. It doesn’t matter that it’s over fifteen years old, it’s still one of the best Star Wars games ever.
As for the port itself, the touch controls are really good and easy to use. I end up accidentally talking to my party members a lot, but that’s the only compliant I have about it. Also, the movement speed could be faster. I end up using Force Speed a lot just to get around quickly.
All in all, great game; great port. Makes me wish Aspyr could port some other great Star Wars games like Dark Forces and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Then the nostalgia would be complete!
Some issues
Mon Nov 28 2022 DaddyDom1977Have the latest version and notice some of the dialogue scenes get skipped especially with t3m4. I only noticed because I have the original Xbox version. Yesterday I was playing got to Telos Lt. Gran says your ship and all droids weapons will be confiscated during the investigation. T3 immediately beeps in but they skipped his audio and visual and you get a quick flash to Gan saying you’re a droid so yes that includes you too. A few other scenes like that especially talking to T3 but that was the most glaring noticeable as being an opening scene to a new planet. Otherwise the gameplay is pretty good you definitely need a controller for swoop racing and if you want to hit the achievement of not letting a single with trooper in the ebon hawk with touch controls good luck with that if you can do it you’re better than me for sure lol.
