I love the gameplay and the story so far but I am having trouble enjoying it due to the stuttering during gameplay and the excessively long loading times. Even the small loading animation stutters. The floor turns black if the screen locks momentarily. I have an 801 chip and 3gb ram so I was not expecting any problems prior to purchasing this game.

I'm sure you heard it before so I'll keep it short. The completely random decisions that kill your characters for no apparent reason ruined this game. It doesn't deserve 1 star but you took me for 5 bucks so your getting it

This game has the potential for 5/5 stars but the load times are terrible on my Samsung Note 4. It also crashes after waiting over a minute. Very disappointing because when you get to the gameplay it's very well done.

Been waiting 9 months for this game to work, still doesn't load. Don't buy if you have a nexus anything. REPLY TO DEV: I already did that and got no where after weeks of trying.

Liked the PC version. Downloaded this four times and then it won't install..Just gets to 100 and starts over the download. Disappointed. EDIT… got it to load after a permission issue. Load times still make it unplayable and if you are jumping off a subway and want to close your phone...You are going to lose a save.

Banner Saga is a work of art, but do not buy the Android version. The cut scenes in particular are incredibly choppy and impossible to understand. It really ruined the experience for me.

This game is running horribly on my Nexus 6p! my phone's totally stock, shame because this game is one of my all time favourite games. Is the Nexus 6p under spec for this title?

Great game, good gameplay! I really got into the story and the tension and loved the look of the game so much. Shame only about the long loading times and certain issues with the resolution (my screen is too small). Will be getting TBS2!

I love this game. Though, the app implementation has some problems. When I pay 10 bucks for an app I don't expect ads. Still there is a small window with game ads in the main menu. You can hide it but you have to do it every time. It might seem like a small thing but it effects my experience of the game. I have a galaxy s7 and the game is not running smoothly. Frameskips is very common. Loading times are frequent and long. As I said, great and beautiful game. But I will play it on computer instead.

Enjoying the game. Great story. Playing on a Galaxy Tab S2 with no long loads. I'm having one issue with an equipped item (Dragon Stone) getting stuck to a character (Mogr). Which stinks because I can't equip a much better item. Can't find anything online about it.

Loved the game on pc, however it runs so choppy on my ZenFone laser 2 ! With 8 cores and 3gb of ram! Almost unplayable! Excellent game and it does run, whoever it runs so badly I wish I'd not bought it for android and just kept to steam!

Edit: they're actively trying to help so I can't in good conscience leave it at one star. They did reply to the email but it didn't help, I'm try again. I want to like this game so much but it runs very poorly on my Nexus 6P. I EMAILED THE ANDROID HELP CONTACT THEY KEEP POSTING ABOUT BUT GOT NO REPLY. Very disappointed. Finally got a response. They made me download some all to lower the graphics settings, didn't help. Game lags and stutters, five seconds animations then long loading. No fun, wish I could refund it.

Love this game. Just a heads up , the game is going to be long loads if you dont email the team to send you the .apk to adjust the settings. I give it a 4 stars because after getting the .apk and making adjustments the game ran great, so easy that its dumb there arent graphics settings in the game. The email is in the rager reviews. Get this game.. send the email.. get the .apk for graphics adjustments.. set a couple of the setting to medium.. and obviously thoroughly enjoy this great game.

Seem to spend half my time on a black loading screen (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge). Really don't know how anyone can play the game this way. It's so pointlessly frustrating. Blacks out if you let your phone sleep during battles, which requires you to restart the app and lose any progress you've made since the last autosave. Storyline and graphics are pretty damn good and the actual battles are excellent. Unfortunately those load times just suck all the joy out of playing the game. I had to uninstall it after only a few days. Such a waste considering how much it cost.

Game is amazing! Only draw back is the slow pace 'cause youre hiking everywhere and load times....for that reason I'm only doing one play through and I'm ready for Saga part 2!

The game has a nice story and you really feel the danger but the final battle feels so unreal or unbeatable that makes you give up from the game. Im not going to buy the second version after all. I feel something is missing on this game.
