Three days ago I wrote well-nigh the upcoming release of Beamdog'sBaldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear for Android. Information technology was scheduled to hit the Play Store on the 8th, and it really released on time. Essentially this is a port of the standalone expansion for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. It uses the aforementioned engine as the Enhanced Edition, which means it looks and plays exactly like the residue of Beamdog'southward CRPGs. So if you lot enjoyed their previous releases, this new 30-hour campaign should offering plenty more fun within the Baldur's Gate universe.

Okay, so three days ago the price was still not officially announced, but now thatSiege of Dragonspear is alive on the Play Store we tin can all easily see that information technology costs $9.99. Simply similar the rest of Beamdog's games, there are no advertisements or in-app purchases to bargain with afterward you purchase the title, which is e'er appreciated.

Now, but like every other mobile Baldur'south Gate release, this is going to be challenging to play on a phone thanks to a liberal use of small UI elements. Your best bet is to play on a tablet or Chromebook, with the later surprisingly showing as compatible for quite a few models.

Just like the PC release, this expansion ties the events of the first game in the serial to the second. This means you lot tin can now play all 3 in order to get the full story and experience. Of formSiege of Dragonspear was created xviii years after the original, then in that location have been a few complaints nigh some of its story elements non lining upwards perfectly with the events of the previous 2 games. But honestly this is only a quibble for what is yet considered a solid game in its own right.

As e'er I am happy to see a great port releasing on Android, especially ane with a unmarried upfront price. While I tin capeesh that the CRPG genre isn't to everyone'due south taste, I notwithstanding wholeheartedly recommend giving this game a fair milk shake. You have thirty hours of content to explore, with a solid battle system that can be paused on control so you tin can strategize all of your moves. And sure, the price may be too high for some of you, but trust me when I say it is worth information technology, peculiarly if you love old-school Western RPGs.
