TouchArcade Rating:

It was a big deal when classic BioWare RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ($9.99) launched for the iPad in May of last year, but being an iPad-only title meant that those who didn’t own an iPad were left out in the cold. Aspyr Media, who handled the iOS port of KOTOR, were barraged with requests for iPhone support, and this past December, they granted gamers their wish with a Universal update to the game. Of course, if you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll want a glass of milk. So now that the game was Universal and able to be played across different devices, now people were clamoring for iCloud save syncing, so they could continue their progress on all their devices. Well, Aspyr delivers once again with today’s update which brings iCloud save syncing to Knights of the Old Republic.

That’s not all though, as the game now supports all available MFi iOS 7 controllers, both the standard and extended styles, as well as text translations for new languages, which include German, Spanish, Italian and French. Here’s a shot of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic being played on a Moga Ace Power iOS 7 controller.
