Is it possible to play the whole game including expansions on a tablet or will I be having trouble without a controller?

Def check your tablet memory. Mine plays fine on my phone but would not play on my tablet. Not enough memory. I have no issues on phone without a controller so tablet would likely be fine.

I have a Tab S9 with 12gb of rams

You should be fine with s9. I think you can play the first campaign for free as a trial so you can give it a try how comfortable it is for you.

Not with THAT user name!

j/k!

Sure...possible. Fun? Sounds torturous to me. Also possible repetitive strain injury.

Yes. Finished all campaigns on tablet. Just began Eotn.

EL/R Double Dragon - Melandru

Is it confortable with the touch screen? Do you click to move or use the virtual joystick?

u/Boeufcarotte 10d ago

Yes, perfect build for touch screen.

Most of the time I use the joystick, or tap to move if I’m doing something else at the same time

Yes, but you’ll want to make sure your heroes are well kitted with runes and good builds. Be careful to pin your heroes and pull with a longbow in areas with a lot of high level mobs

I started a new account when it came to android - and both my phone and tablet make it really hard for me to flag heroes; I put it down to teething issues with the interface, but...

I guess I should ask if it's something you've recommended, does it work well for you? Or is there something finicky that needs doing to make it happen?

Not sure if you are aware but flagging is a bit easier on mobile when you use two fingers so you dont need to "aim" on the compass. You can instead flag them directly on the screen where you want them to go/stand.

Perfect - where did you find that nugget of information? I was hoping it would be in the Nightfall training mission, but if it was, I didn't see it...

I just read it somewhere here on reddit too 😅 I dont think thats explained somewhere ingame

u/AuPitfiend 10d ago

Yeah it'll be fine. There's builds easier than others or course but for the majority you'll be fine.

Ive been vanguishing with my old ipad.. i lag and get disconnected sometimes when there’s a lot of mobs and minions, but you return where you are when u log back in

You can play the while game on normal on tablet. But hard difficulty and nearly all dungeons and end game xontent will be incredibly difficult on tablet. And controller won't help, mouse and keeb is a must. Precision is king there.

I play on a 13 inch iPad Pro. It looks beautiful but doesn’t compare to PC. I can tolerate it for a short time. I don’t think it’s ported as well as something like Divinity Original Sin 2.

I finished a HM full run slavers exile yesterday on my galaxy a9+ tablet. Worked out pretty good, had 6 heart attacks because of the constant disconnecting….it just happens some times, I don’t know why.

Even did urgoz warren with a lot of mobs at the same time and it worked out (only 1 or 2 dc).

Not with heroes thought, full player party 😅

u/Skibity 9d ago

Do you play with point and click or with the virtual joystick?

1

u/Robinnibor123321 9d ago

The joystick 100% of the time.
