Ratings and reviews

I got this for the One plus 7Pro. Was looking forward to it because it was amazing on iPad. Currently however, it's stuck on startup. After it asks for permission to use media, it's stucj forever loading. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I have emailed support already regarding this and will be willing to change my score as soon as a work around is found. Edit - reinstalled for the third time and it started up. Finally. Wish I didn't have to reinstall it again and again

I put the permissions too. Either on SD Card or Internal Storage. I pressed the allow files option. Then, seconds later. It isn't working well. And it is not working properly. Help please. Thanks. The allow files for The Banner Saga 1, are not working properly. Help please!

Best Phone RPG ever... Only 10 hours in but worth every penny. Beautiful lore, art, and music. No ads or in-app purchases. A throwback to when RPGs were more of a "choose your own adventure novel" with clear points where you make important choices as opposed to the modern go-anywhere sandbox. But the decisions are interesting, difficult, and meaningful in lots of ways. Easy to play for half hour intervals.
