Planescape: Torment Wiki

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.

Been wanting to play this for a while, and decided to go with this version vs the far more expensive PS4 Icewind Dale bundle. I’m just finishing the first area, but already loving it! Much easier with my Apple Pencil, and I’m thankful for the Zooming, Text Scaling and Difficulty Settings. I wouldn’t play this on a phone, and honestly anyone who sees the UI and thinks it’s comfortable to play on a small screen may be expecting too much. If I had to nitpick, sometimes it takes a few tries to click on NPCs, and to press-hold on items to view them. But so far, no other complaints. So grateful I can play this on the go.

I love all of the d&d games that are in this bundle but for some reason this is the only game that doesn’t support the X, XS, 11, type screen size and I know this might also be a lot to ask but could you also hide the bar at bottom or at least blend it in like most of the games you know the tiny bar at the bottom of the screen however there are no real problems with the gameplay that I have seen so far thanks for reading and I hope that this is fixed on all of the games it would make them perfect!

Sorry for hijacking this review section, but I was hoping I could get the devs’ attention on this. As for this game, it’s amazing, really. A bit unplayable on my phone but plays really well on iPad. Unforgettable storyline, gameplay, dialogue, etc.

I had some trouble getting into Planescape after playing Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, but I finally started playing it and was pleasantly surprised. One complaint though, the menu buttons are tiny and hard to press.

... and I am NOT a gamer. Totally got me hooked on rpg’s and I’ve purchased and played every game in the Infinity Collection. Now I’m patiently waiting for a new release or a re-release of any similar game on iOS or Google Play by this developer.

This game really doesn't need an introduction. It's widely praised as one of the greatest ever. You'd be hard pressed to find a game with better writing or a more original world. Having it on my phone is truly amazing. It's a bit small but if you put font to max size in the options it works really well. Much easier to play than BG2. Pro tip: Max Int and Wisdom when making a character. Trust me.

It's just as amazing to replay this now all these years later on a touch screen as it was to originally on my old computer as a teen.

no audio on most recent ios, ipad air2******* if you mute notifications it mutes all games now! if you have no sound in game make sure the bell is not red when you swipe up.

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.

I have a XS Max and still the text and buttons/controls are tiny. It often takes several tries to hit the right button or dialog text. Not only are all the controls tiny, but there are a ton of them all next to each other so it is all too easy to hit the wrong one. Maybe add a pinch and zoom everywhere not just on the view area?

Excellent port of an excellent game, but it really needs a cloud save feature or a way to backup saves. I had an iPad crash and I lost a 20 hour game save. This is a common feature in most modern games and it’s especially useful when playing across iPhone and iPad

Someone commented on this TWO YEARS ago, the devs responded, but seemingly nothing came of it; the buttons and options for this game are incredibly tiny, requiring pinpoint accuracy to activate them, creating an extremely frustrating experience just trying to play the game. The Baldur’s Gate games aren’t so bad thanks to the UI buttons being larger and clearly labeled, but the UI for Planescape is different, the options are smaller, closer together, which makes them harder to press. And no, increasing the font size doesn’t help with options that are represented by images, and not text. You want to attack that enemy? Nope, instead of selecting your weapon, you just unpaused the game and had your party swarmed by enemies, who are now dropping like flies while you panic trying to hit the pause button again, and failing repeatedly. Seriously, ADD A UI SCALING OPTION!

Unplayable on an iPhone 7. Yes I adjusted the settings. I wish I could get a refund. I get suckered by every tactical rpg they put on here! Update: developer responded. Go to this website a give us more details. Here are the details. Your game is unplayable on a small screen and you or Apple should give everyone who bought it on a phone a refund
