About this game

This application requires approximately 2.59GB to download. Please be sure to allocate the necessary amount of time and space on your device before proceeding.

------------------------------

[Please read before playing]

* Entering or leaving vehicles such as cars and the Garden may occasionally get your character stuck between the vehicle and terrain features, or freeze the vehicle in place. This seems to happen more often when you leave your vehicle in close proximity to impassable terrain, or when you try to enter or leave your vehicle during certain scripted events. Currently, the only fix for this is to reload a previously saved game, so please make sure to save your progress often.

* Some locations may be difficult to navigate using the Speed Boost (x3). We advise you to turn off this feature in such cases.

* Make sure to check the FAQ section of our support page for solutions to common issues:

We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may cause, and thank you again for your interest in our product.

It runs fine, even on my ageing phone (Galaxy A5 2017). A small number of areas do drop the framerate, but it's rare and probably not an issue on modern devices. I don't like touch screen controls much, but RPGs like this are better suited than most genres. The update for controller support is something to look forward to, but the game is playable without one. No internet connection required for saving or anything, which is good for me. Cloud saves (or Squall saves) are now available.

For £19.99, I wasn't impressed with a 20-year-old game that's just been remastered. Yeah, it looks great and tugged at my heartstrings, but that's it! I hate the game's borders; it's only 4:3, not 16:9. Why isn't this a feature? Only so many cheats if u wanna play that way but where is the all items cheat? Don't buy this game if your expecting massive changes as I think it's just be lazy

Basically the same as the switch version. But on a mobile screen they should have added the option to play in 16:9 aspect ratio, which they didn't and they didn't for the switch or the other console versions. For mobile this doesn't even play better than my emulated ps one game I own that I play on epsxe sometimes. So for 16.99 definitely not worth it. The print art graphics covering the sides of the screen is also off putting, should just be blank/black. Refunded.
