Star Wars™: KOTOR in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ 😔Not Enough People Appreciate This😔

I feel like every person Thea days has their mind wrapped around Darth Vader, Master Yoda, and other things that are new and therefore “relevant”. I love how you took underrated comics about the Old Republic and transformed it into an amazing game that is available to everyone! After playing the game for the first time, I found some Old Republic comics online and your game perfectly summed up the story of Revan! And I also love how you allowed us to learn about people know a lot about. Your game made me want to dig deeper into the older Star Wars stories. I’ve read polls from the public and everyone overlooks the feats and power of these characters from your game. Some people said that Darth Revan couldn’t use dark side powers like Darth Sidious could, but I know for a fact that Revan had full knowledge of the dark and light sides of the force. He didn’t only summon force storms, but he made tornadoes out of them! I know that isn’t as powerful as destroying a whole planet with the force like Sidious and Nihilus did, but have you seen anyone use the force to make a lightning tornado? I know I might be getting to deep into battles and controversy, so I’ll end it right here. Overall this game is amazing and though it was made 11 years ago, it is still fun and exciting to play!😁

★★★★★ Almost Perfect

I’ve played KOTOR 1 and 2 probably 15 times over — played it ever since I was a little kid. I saw that it came out on the iPad Pro, so I decided to buy it since I was bored at home over the break. It runs just like it does on the computer (maybe even a little smoother). This is one of the best games of all time, and is a steal compared to the $50-$60 games nowadays. The literal only complaint I have is that there did seem to be a small glitch that was a bit annoying. Every once in awhile, particularly after combat, my character would temporarily be unable to move. This had two reliable work arounds: letting my allies lead the party, or saving and reloading. I also noticed that using Force Speed or other force powers occasionally fixed this glitch, but probably at a 60/40 chance. Although this was minor and I figured out a solution, it was annoying. I am tempted to take it down a star, but I feel like because that would mislead people about the game — it’s totally worth the money, and trust me, KOTOR 1 and 2 on the computer are far glitchier than on the iPad, so this is perhaps an improvement.

★★★★★ Glitchy but still KOTOR

It is well optimized for mobile, but has so many glitches. As expected, it can also be awkward to move and select objects also. Still it is KOTOR and I would personally buy it again. I just wish there weren’t so many infuriating combat problems etc. EDIT: After continuing to play, I keep to find bugs. It is frustrating. I’m too big of a KOTOR fan to stop, but it is frustrating and I have also lost some progress. It is ridiculous sometimes to select what you want, especially in crowded fighting, so you just end up not being able to initiate a move and enter dialogue, which is stupid. Combat is also generally frustrating to choose moves. The number of times I just do random things outside of combat instead of what I want, or have to turn the view just right to find something is discouraging. Moving the crosshairs vs selecting things is also janky. Feels unintuitive and I don’t trust it anymore to know what I’m selecting. EDIT: (OMG, the way this game screws with selections is incredibly infuriating. Also swoop racing is unresponsive. I’m lowering my review. The water puzzle in the Sith base is incredibly hard to select panels. Combat also just seems to get more glitchy, not less. After playing through, it feels like a trashy port money grab. I’m still too dumb and dedicated to KOTOR to not try, but I’d never recommend it to anyone. If you’re new to this game try it on another system first. Anything but Mobile)

★★★★★ Yeah yeah yeah

It's pretty sad how buggy this thing is, I've started saving my game after every encounter. Can't start the swoop race because I can't select the announcer and obviously can't get out of the hall because you have to race at this point. Sketchy controls was a bummer too. Having the ability to play knights on the go seemed like a no brainer and the reviews are great. Sometimes I wonder about the weight of those reviews. Visually it's perfect, sometimes the sound is off. If I can get through this app I will have gone thru KOTOR more times then I have fingers.. I'd rather dust off the OL BOX and bring this game back to life. I'll consider the 5 dollars I spent on this app a donation for the wonderful years the StarWars franchise has given me. Update: 2 days after 1st review. Restarted a new game, got the accelerator and the "can't interact with anything" bug kicks on.. about an hour of gameplay before the bug originally happen. Restarted a new and the bug kick on when I first got to the under city. After deep research it seems the only way to fix this is to save your game a lot, A LOT. Restarting while the game is open does not help. This is one of my favorite rpgs ever but not on iOS. It's garbage on iOS. Before buying read as many reviews as you can. THIS BUG HAS HAPPEN TO MANY PEOPLE. It would be nice if this bug can get fixed.. anything with the starwars name is making fat cash so I don't think this request is too far fetched.

★★★★★ Not bad but needs some patches

I’m so excited to be able to play this again. It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come in twenty years. The game is almost exactly how I remember it. The problems come with the bugs. For some reason the game will corrupt at random times and I won’t be able to engage dialogue. I select the characters but nothing happens. And when that happens you’re screwed because a lot of the game requires you to do this or you can progress so once that happens hopefully you saved because it’s back to the last time you did a standard save. No kidding I made the mistake of depending on the auto and quick save and my file was corrupted so badly that I had no choice but to go to the manual save file which had been an hour and a half prior. That’s a lot of time wasted for a buggy system. Worse still when you have that in the back of your mind while playing it. Don’t get me wrong it’s worth a play through and it’s a miracle of the modern age to be able to play this on my phone but it definitely needs a few bugs worked out. If you’re gonna put the cash down to get it I recommend saving your game often and being ready to have to restart due to this bug. Other than that it’s a good time.

★★★★★ Absolutely Incredible And A Timeless Classic

This is truly one of, if not the best, Star Wars story out there, game or otherwise. While the graphics are a bit dated, keep in mind that this is a 21 year old game, and the amazing story and characters make up for this one hundred times over. The sheer scope of the game is astounding, with many different worlds to explore, countless side quests, and an amazing overarching story. The party members who join you are some of the best written characters in Star Wars, as is your own character, but no spoilers from me! From the start to finish, you feel as if you’re creating your own story in the Star Wars universe. I would strongly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the franchise. The first couple parts of the game are challenging, especially for first time players, but stick with it, as this is the coolest game ever created, Star Wars or otherwise. Many of the other reviews complain of bugs and other issues, but I never experienced any problems with the game. Well worth the ten dollars, I would pay one hundred for this masterpiece.

★★★★★ The Glitch in the Enclave.

To: Aspyr Media, Inc. In my resent play-through of my game, I noticed a bug in the entrance of the Jedi Enclave. I was using my main character fighting NPC's away from the enclave grounds, and I switched characters to my Utility Droid. Immediately I noticed My droid was away from the combat zone, and somehow on the side of the upper level entrance of the enclave, in an out of the map kinda scenario. I think somehow when I spawned in the outside area, my droid was rendered outside of the map, unable to move and effectively stalled from engagement. I took a picture to show what I mean. I personally have no problems with glitches in games, but I felt it best to let you know. Love the game by the way, on of my favorites, but you should really consider doing the second game Knights of the old republic 2. It has some of the best dialogue written for a game. It had greater gameplay and combat mechanics, and offered amazing elements unknown to games today. It was an all around superior game, and the fans of the series would love nothing more than for it to come back. If offered with the restored content, the game could be a great way to bring fans into the App Store. And if offered with the option to Mod the game, it would attract even more customers.
