You have to basically remove your thumb from the virtual thumbstick or stop aiming with your right hand and press the health bar icon in the upper-left corner.
What was a simple button or key press on physical controls has become the equivalent of rubbing your stomach while patting your head. Perhaps the most egregious control change for iOS is the use of first aid items. However, it would have been nice to be able to set waypoints during the periods that the directional arrow isn't pointing you towards your next objective, as constantly bringing up the map via the tiny menu button in the upper left corner can be frustrating. However, as the encounters and your artillery get more complicated, the platform's ability to support it diminishes greatly.Įven with the removal of the jump button, finding your way through Rapture is still simple enough, though you may find yourself accidentally tapping the crouch button from time to time. At the beginning, when you're facing off against one or two lightly armed splicers with the Electro Bolt plasmid and a wrench or pistol, I started to get the sense that iOS devices just might be able to handle BioShock's combat. Firing a gun or a plasmid is a bit less intuitive than it's been in previous versions of BioShock, but at least those have big, hard-to-miss icons to tap. As you'd probably gather, iOS touch screens can't replicate the precision of a mouse and keyboard or gaming controller when it comes to combat.
Surprisingly, movement and aiming is actually done reasonably well with virtual analog sticks. When it comes to combat, however, the touch-screen controls aren't quite up to snuff.
