Story:
"What can change the nature of a man?"
You are The Nameless One, a hulking figure covered in scars and tattoos collected over the course of countless lives—none of which you can remember, but are now coming back to haunt you. You are prodded awake by Morte, a floating skull and keeper of secrets, to embark on an adventure taking the Nameless One from the dirty streets of Sigil into the mysterious Outer Planes and even into the depths of Hell itself.
In your search for answers, you'll find companions matching the bizarre nature of the planes: a chaste succubus who can kill with a kiss, a confused crossbow-wielding cube, a suit of armor animated by a spirit demanding JUSTICE, and more. With these companions and others at The Nameless One’s side, you will explore worlds in search of answers, all to discover that some destinies cannot be escaped and some memories cost more than an immortal should be willing to pay.
Beamdog’s Enhanced Edition titles are designed for 7 inch and larger tablets. We recommend this title to iPhone players using the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.

Ratings and Reviews
Great game, Great Port!
I was told to go to another website to post a bug report myself. You do it yourself. -1 Star for bad customer support.
Fantastic port of one of the best games of all time. Five stars for the game itself, of course. For the port, great pinch-to-zoom implementation (the transition from map view to normal view is spectacular!) and good options and effects for the whole game.
Here are three requests, though:
- Please add keyboard support. I have a keyboard for my iPad, and the dialogue options have clear 1-2-3, but there’s no way to do that. Just like on desktop, this game works great with cursor/touch, but keyboard makes it easier as well.
- iCloud save support would be great! I have an iPad and an iPhone, and it would be great to share a save file between them!
- If bug comments here don’t matter, then have some way of submitting them your preferred way WITHIN the Planescape: Torment app. Otherwise, responses seem more like “go away” than “let us listen to you better.”
Developer Response ,
Hello!
Can you please file these requests at support.baldursgate.com so that we could implement them in future patches?
Edit: The thing here is that the more reports at support.baldursgate.com , the more the devs see the issue is important. The requests themselves (about keyboard support/iCloud) are logged in.
A serviceable port to an excellent game
Beamdog's rehabilitation of the old Baldurs Gate games and Planescape has put a fresh new veneer on some of the best storytelling video games have to offer. I applaud their effort to port these games and offer them to a new generation of gamers almost 18 years after their original release.
However, the love and care put in to the port is not enough to completely overcome the issues of bringing a game into a medium the original devs would have never dreamed up. The screen is too small on most iPhones to truly experience the game, and on newer phones the length surpasses the aspect ratio leaving long black bars on either side of the game. (An aside, there may be a function in settings that I keep missing that would fix this) An iPad will circumvent those issues or a DS stylus in a pinch, but the touch controls will always feel a tiny bit clunky compared to beamdog's excellent PC remaster.
Otherwise the game is preserved and improved with much effort and care, and if you can handle a small amount of frustration this game will certainly reward you.

Thank you!
Needs Menu-Zoom functionality!
It’s gonna have to be a solid 3 for the port alone but if the game had a user-friendly zoom-in functionality for the menus it could be a 5 star masterpiece. I’ve tried playing this game on the road and it’s unbearable on a bumpy ride. It’s worst than 3-D glasses at the theater! It’s a shame, my phone is now the only place I can get my game on these days. You guys should challenge yourselves when porting these hidden gems, what’s your motivation? Easy money? Fast cash? Because your work will be reflected in the end-results. I hope you guys look into this deal-breaking issue. Good luck 👍🏼
Edit: thanks for taking the time to read my review. I already tried the UI menu scaling and it’s still not enough. I press the wrong buttons like 60 percent of the time. The buttons are not clunky or unresponsive; they’re just too small to accurately interact with them. Especially on the road.
Developer Response ,
Hello! Did you try to use the Scale UI option and to increase the font size?
Edit: thanks for additional information. I'll pass your feedback to the team.
