The classic returns. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition restores the full adventure, now polished with quality‑of‑life upgrades for a smoother D&D journey.
This game is optimized for tablets and not recommended for phones with screen sizes under 7 inches.
Your journey begins as all great cRPG tales once did: quietly, within the walls of home, before fate tears everything open.
Forced from the safety of Candlekeep under mysterious circumstances, you’re thrust into a conflict that threatens to ignite the Sword Coast. Your world has always been limited to the fortress library’s ancient halls, where your foster father, Gorion, worked tirelessly to shield you from dangers you never understood.
All of that is about to change, setting you on the path that made Baldur’s Gate a legend.
Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition brings you back to the golden age of 90s cRPGs, steeped in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Customize your hero, gather a band of memorable companions, and roam the Sword Coast in search of adventure, fortune, and long‑buried truths.
Enjoy over 75 hours of classic Baldur’s Gate gameplay, including the full original campaign, the beloved Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, and a new arena mode for those who crave a challenge.
Classic Campaign: The original Baldur’s Gate adventure, faithfully preserved
Expansion: Tales of the Sword Coast, the iconic 90s add‑on
Classic‑Style Challenges: The Black Pits, a new arena of tactical battles
Refined Difficulty Options: Story Mode for relaxed exploration; Legacy of Bhaal for veterans seeking a brutal, old‑school test
Brothers Lost: Help Rasaad yn Bashir, the Sun Soul Monk, as he scours the Cloud Peaks in search of his lost brother.
The 1998 classic returns with thoughtful refinements that make it smoother to play today while keeping its soul untouched.

Any old school top down RPG or point & click style game feels right at home on iOS! Instead of dragging a cursor around it feels very intuitive to simply point and have your commands met. In lieu of keyboard shortcuts, I actually find this method more enjoyable. The writing here is still the best aspect of the game; funny, engaging, and deep. The entire game has depth, don’t expect to be godlike your first time round - but the fun is deciphering the D&D gameplay mechanics! The only feedback i have preventing BG from getting 5 stars is the lack of iTunes File Sharing. Yes, you are able to export saved games to play on computer & iOS interchangeably. However, on the computer I have several custom portraits I’d like also transferred to iOS. Its not a deal breaker, but sometimes it does pull me out of the story not seeing the characters as I see them in my head. I’ve already purchased the portrait pack, but I like to have NPCs looking unique as well. This was enabled pre 8.3 update, but since it’s been blocked. Enabling the iTunes File sharing for this would be amazing! Overall, thank you Beamdog & Overhaul for giving us the ability to play on the go. Prepared to get hooked, & good luck in Faerûn!
Decent but with a major flaw.

I can see where this game has the potential to be pretty much the best D&D port in the entire App Store. If you’ve played tabletop RPG’s the layout here will be familiar to you. Character setup, status, inventory and such all resemble their on paper counterparts and are pretty easy to deduce or figure out with a bit of trial and error. There is also an ample amount of information online for those times when a solution isn’t so easy to discover. Unfortunately my progress has been stifled by a big issue that there doesn’t seem to be a solution to at the moment. The character scripts don’t seem to work at all. For those going “huh?” right now I’ll explain. There are up to 6 characters in your party that will have different roles, and the scripts are supposed to determine what they do in a fight like use their sword, use their bow, cast spells, etc. However, no matter how I set my guys up, when they have a run in they all just stand there getting beat on while I have to try and click on them individually to get them to do something. This usually leads to failure and reloading the last save. One quest involves clearing a house of 4 giant spiders and the moment the party enters the room it’s just a jumbled mess that results in everyone getting killed in short order. I don’t know if it’s a game issue or a system issue but right now there are several quests that I don’t think I’ll be able to complete till the problem has been resolved. This is on a 10.5” iPad Pro with iOS 11.1.2.If that gets fixed the game would be a solid 5. Till then I’m giving it a 3.

Hello!Did you enable the AI - the button on the right of the screen, below character portraits, closer to the bottom?If you set AI scripts under customization for your characters and then enable the AI it should work.
Perfect.

I played through Baldur's Gate when it was originally released many years ago and played it again five years later and then yet again five years later. Unfortunately, my old computer went toast and I swore off PC gaming forever because of the ridiculous costs and hassles of keeping a computer up to date. I had long thought the iPhone and iPad could make perfect platforms for some old classic games.And here it is-- Baldur's Gate, in full iPad glory. Zooming made easy, click with a finger, and you can see all containers easily. I just finished it tonight and I'm a completionist, which means I look in every container and in every nook and cranny for content. There were zero problems and many old bugs fixed. [I do wish they would've fixed the old character scripting issue for thieves set to "Thief Aggressive" where pathing is interrupted whenever the thief automatically attempts to hide in shadows and/or a failure of shadow hiding, but alas...]A friend bought this game for me... I didn't know of its existence on iPad prior to then. Now I'm downloading BG 2 and then Icewind Dale. I do hope Icewind Dale 2 AND Planescape: Torment are in the works!!
Almost 5 stars on the iPhone

I’ve now purchased this game three times! First, upon the original PC release, the updated PC release, and iOS. I really feel like there is so much more opportunity to port old RPG games to iOS... (Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, anyone?) I’m playing this now on the iPhone XS Max. I am LOVING it, but a few interface tweaks could really improve it. Obviously it is not optimized for iPhone X and above, so there is some wasted horizontal screen space. Also, though I know the game was designed for tablets, it is fantastic to bring it around in my pocket, and really the challenge on iPhone for me is just discerning some of the icons, specifically spell icons. Also if the game was programmed to fade the iPhone’s home bar that would be nice - I think there’s some precious vertical space lost there. Anyway, thanks to the developers for realizing the continued value in these classic older games! My opinion is that a pinch of iPhone optimization might get you a whole new batch of players.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition 2.7 patch improves the overall quality-of-life experience, bringing smoother mobile UI, restored iOS purchase syncing, easier mobile modding & file transferring, and more. The game is now compatible with PC and Android versions for Multiplayer.
Patch Highlights:
iOS Restore Purchases — The “Restore Purchases” button has returned, allowing the game to sync with Apple’s purchase history.

The home:/ directory is now user-accessible;
You can transfer saves, character portraits, and other files (mods) between different devices.

Dynamic language support — We made changes to allow easier language updates and additions in the future.
Chinese font change — At the request of the Chinese localization volunteers, we have changed the font for Chinese.
Font Size saved per font language — The Font Size zoom setting is now saved per font language.
