Two notable flaws mar this otherwise stunning achievement of mobile-device gaming: 1) 3.5GB internal storage requirement with no ability to move it to an SD card is, frankly, inexcusable, and 2) the controls can be wonky, e.g. swiping the screen to rotate the camera works as expected almost half of the time, and the rest of the time it activates what appears to be an on-screen joystick (plus the Pause button is difficult to reach, as several other reviewers have noted). Thankfully, the save games are compatible with other platforms, and they're stored in a world-readable/writable location on the device, so it's possible to switch back and forth between another device or platform (e.g. Steam or GOG) by copying the save games back and forth.

I played this game more than I care to admit back in the day - all the premium modules included. Now that my son is old enough to play, I started bragging this game to him almost a year ago and finally bought it on Android and Steam. I even bought him a new Pixel slate and myself a new laptop recently, and though they weren't bought specifically for NWN, this game was certainly on my mind when buying both. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the cross platform LAN setup is in great shape. He hasn't been able to connect to my Linux game because of a timeout error - nothing shows on the server side. After days of sitting bent over the computer searching for some relevant info it's looking like this is a no-go for multiplayer. At any rate, my son is in the middle of chapter 2 in the OC and has encountered a few glitches, but nothing too serious except that he sometimes has to do a full restart the tablet because the app only comes up with a grey screen. There's also the LAN connect, of course. Seems like there's still room for improvement, but I have to say it's great to have this game back in action again. Update: Server output when Android app tries to connect: Dropping unencrypted packet which we require encryption for: BNCS. No info online to help with this. Pretty useless to be honest.

You have no idea how long I have waited for a game like this to be added onto mobile phones. This game is a full blown PC game on a mobile phone with unlimited replayability potential. It allows to play both single player as well as multiplayer in comfortable way from a couch, on train on toilet... The small screen of a phone does it more complicated in multiplayer but still doable and enjoyable experience. Seems I have a reason to buy a tablet now as this game is reason enough. Thanks Beamdog!
