Me and my brother both just installed this, I played until I got off the ship and enjoyed every bit of it. My brother, in the other hand quit and deleted after not even 5 minutes. So glad this made it to iPod 5!
It's unfortunate when people don't give these great classics a fair chance. It really is their loss. This game is the reason I bought an XBOX so many years ago and I nearly bought an iPad just for this game. I'm still having a hard time believing that I carry this game in my pocket everywhere I go. I can only hope they port KOTOR II. My only complaint is the control method. I haven't got the hang of it. I really wish they had a floating joystick option.
I actually enjoy the controls. It's a great stylus game, kind of relaxing as you can play it with one hand.
Go to a workbench. Have an item you can put it in. Click to upgrade that weapon. Click the slot for it.
People have played the game through with blaster builds, iirc-- but it requires a lot of planning and very good equipment choices.
Very difficult to do but impressive if you can pull it off,since Jedis tend to either block your shots or have energy shields on. Or both,spend your level up points carefully though
As I remember it, there's no more fun way to play this game than dark side force lightning. Opening a door and shredding a whole room full of guys w lightning is pure joy.
I did the whole force/lightsaber thing back in the day when this game came out for the xbox, but never had the guts to go straight blaster pistols. Was just wondering if it's even possible lol
How does this play on the phones small screens? Sadly Santa didn't bring an iPad and would love to play this again no questions asked if i had an iPad but worry about the controls on the iPhone 5
They're definitely a little fiddlier on the small screen. I'd pause in combat a bit more frequently than on the iPad or other devices, because finger-slips did happen more often. Given that I have both formats, I don't think I'll bother with the iPhone version at all now I've tried it (especially without iCloud sync), but if I had the choice between this version and no version, it's a no-brainer. It's not that it's difficult to know what to press/where - just that the buttons are really small, and there are way more of them than in your average game, so you need a bit more focus than normal.
I think that over the course of an hour, the fiddliness means I've wasted maybe 2 mins on correcting/slowing down to avoid miss-taps, but it's the type of game where that makes no difference to your ability to play through it, and very little difference to your enjoyment of it.
Lol nah just my main toon. I've been playing on my iPhone 5 and it plays great except for 2 things, the action menu does get annoying unless I haven't figured out how to change it - it should've been designed in a way where you swipe to pick your actions (same goes for hot bar items), but instead you click it and it takes you to a sub menu. You might think swiping would be even more obtrusive, but I think it is more jarring to be thrown into an overlay submenu every single special action rather than staying on the same screen and only seeing a swipe action animation. The other issue is the help tooltip button should not be present at all times. It's right in-between quick save, and the inventory button, again unless there's a way to remove it that I don't know about. You'll tend to quickly hit either quick save or inventory, and tap the help icon by accident and get a tutorial overlay. Really annoying later on in the game.
Been playing on a fifth gen iPod (same screen size.) and it plays pretty well,I haven't had a problem with the controls at all (well maybe how you select which attack to use,can't just scroll in between your available ones like on PC-gotta hit the arrow and select it-but that's more of a preference thing anyway.) I'd say but it now while it's on sale
