Bought it a while back and tried to play it. The controls are pretty spotty IMHO. I kept bumping into walls and couldn't navigate with any kind of precision.
i'm halfway through on my iPad. The pad-stick control did take some getting used to (its a fine line between run/walk), but i think its a pretty common control for iOS games that need a joystick
Can anyone comment on how saving works on the iOS version? If I get a call or switch apps, does it reliably save or am I liable to lose my progress?
Unless the app gets killed I'm guessing it just pauses.
I'll play it a bit this evening and get back to you!
When minimized the app goes into 'pause' -even mid battle. Also, they've added a 'bookmark' feature which is a single-load save anywhere. so when you have to go, you can bookmark without finding a save point (just not mid battle). If your party dies, you cannot reload the bookmark point. you can't bookmark and continue, its bookmark & exit to main menu - i guess think of it as a longer term pause? where state is saved in your save game list?
Thanks, that was a much more detailed answer than I could have given.
