You would think....that maybe its become an evergreen title? I wonder how many sales of DLC and other incarnations and side projects this game has generated?

Good analysis here. I wasn't crazy then, the game can run graphics mode at around 40fps on more recent devices.

From TouchArcade:

"After how good the Switch port is, I expected Alien: Isolation on iOS to be very good given Feral Interactive handled both, but I didn't expect it to be this good."

"If you've not played Alien: Isolation before, the mobile version is phenomenal. It isn't just a good value proposition with all DLC included at the low asking price of $14.99 compared to other platforms, but it looks and runs brilliantly even compared to the Xbox and PS4 versions. I know Feral Interactive is capable of miracle mobile conversions, but this Alien: Isolation is on a whole other level."

"Alien: Isolation feels like it has no business running on a tiny device like the iPhone. And not just running, but running near flawlessly at a nice crisp resolution. Sure, it may be a 7+ year old game, and mobile hardware of today is very powerful, but it's still majorly impressive seeing it in action. And yes, it does feel pretty miraculous."

I have a switch, but technically it's not really mine... it's my two sons' system really.

I leave for work trips a lot, and they'd kill me if I took their switch with me lol plus, I already bring my phone on work trips, so at most, I'd just be bringing along a controller. That saves some space; not much, but every little bit counts with overpacked suitcases.

Don't you think it defeats the purpose of playing it on mobile if you have to use a controller? I'm currently playing a lot of old emulated games on my tablet, connecting my dualshock to it and trying to prop it up. It is a bit of a chore. I'm not saying touchscreen controls are great either. But if I was wanting to play this portable, the Switch version would be the one to get.

I haven't played the Switch port myself but from what I've seen it's really well done.

I think it depends on the situation really. With iOS, as long as a controller is synced, reconnecting it is a simple as turning it back on. Just like people like to dock their Switch or take it on the go, part of a tablet's appeal is the versatility. More people are using iPads like laptops and having those higher quality gaming experiences available is great I think. You also see more smart phones having pretty large screens and bridging that gap between phone and tablet. I would definitely recommend a portable tablet stand or kickstand case if propping it up is a pain. The touch controls here do work really well though, so it's not like the experience is lacking without a controller, I just found it more ideal with one for longer play sessions.

I also wish more companies would support emulation of older games on mobile devices officially. There's a gold mine of older catalog titles that would do well.

I was already planning to buy this game again lol but now you've convinced me to get a compatible controller to use too!

Yeah using a controller is the ideal way to play on mobile in my opinion.

Some screenshots I took with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Just switched from the iPhone 11 Pro Max which was used for this review.
