KOTOR Knights of the Old Republic (2003)

This is a game I've always been conflicted about.

I love the story and characters, but the combat. I mean, I always made it known that I think the older BioWare games have pretty clunky combat mechanics but KotoR is the clunkiest of the clunky for me.

I can usually put up with it for a little bit by just turning it to the lowest difficulty and spamming power attack to win everything, but that eventually gets too boring to me as well.

Yup, great game. I am not a big star wars fan but the game was excellent.

Whaaaaaaaat?!? I can play it on iPad?!

Damn. I've been lamenting my inability to play KotOR for months, since I didn't keep my XBox from ages ago. You give me hope.

How does it play on iPad? Reasonably well?


And, yes, in line with the thread's title, KotOR is so damn good. I believe it is my favorite BioWare game. It's BioWare and it's Star Wars. It has those amazing characters, and that great story. The locales are all enjoyable. Damn, I love this game.

Yup, the game runs well in the iPad and the overall mechanics of the game are well suited for it.

My first BW game and it still holds up, I think. Played it a couple of years ago and it was so much fun. Except for the Hanoi Towers! lol

Apeiron, team of seven, is remaking KOTOR. It's looking good. If I'm not mistaken, 1st - 3rd person option will be available.

Kotor is my favorite game ever!!! I love almost everything about it. The combat may be clunky and slow, as some of you have said, but Bioware has definitely improved over the years. I've found though, that by the time the Star Forge comes around, I don't have much of a problem because the pc + Jolee and Juhani (but the pc especially) are very overpowered. Even once you're on your own, if you pace yourself it's really not that bad! Maybe I'm just patient? (Or not playing on a hard setting)

Oh but my hat's off to those people over at Apeiron (or Atlanta, wherever they're located!) I hope their hard work pays off. Kotor deserves the reboot!

Second this. I'm generally a touch screen bigot (and a phone game skeptic), but it's not a bad control scheme at all. I've been poking my way through it on my phone for a while now.

KOTOR is fine, but KOTOR 2 is the best. It had it's problems (weird ending and more stuff like that) but it also had one of the greatest characters of all time: Kreia. Best moments in KOTOR 1 was going to the Sith Academy... sucks that you have to kill everyone there at the end, though. I liked Bastila's and Revan's connection and Exile's force bond with Kreia.

Let's hope they don't get hit with a cease and desist like the people who were remaking WtM: Bloodlines was

Agree with y'all. KOTOR is a brilliant game, story-wise. Stellar mix of humor, drama, intrigue... but 'dat combat, right on the edge of game-breakingly clunky.
