The Story ??????
Mana808
Torment was a PC game i tried after playing Baldur's Gate 2 but couldn't get into initially. You have to get past the muddy graphics and weird art style to appreciate the remarkable and skillful storytelling that makes this a true RPG. With Planescape Torment on my iPad Mini, I've spent the first 10 hours poring over lines of humorous and engaging dialogue with the sad and grotesque denizens of Sigil. I've toyed with the many possible evil and good outcomes when deciding a stranger's fate. Sometimes I just went with my instincts and never looked back. I found so much D&D lore told in just one item description it reminded me of Dark Souls.
Not worth the money

I bought this game based on reviews that said the story telling was good and it really made you think about choices you had to make in the game. So far the only choice I have been pondering is why I spent so much money on this game. I really wanted to like this game but, after several hours of exploring the game I am just annoyed at all the conversations that you have to click through just to find out that nine out of ten characters in the game have nothing useful to say. I know nothing more about the story line of the game compared to when I started. The mechanics are clunky, and the Pvm seems nearly pointless for the amount of xp you gain for it. It is a lot of wandering around and a lot of "clicking" through useless conversations, and either fighting or running away from people who are attacking you for seemingly no reason. There is a fine line between exploring in a game versus aimlessly wandering. In this game I felt like I was doing more aimlessly wandering than exploring. For ten dollars I was expecting a lot more story line in the first few hours of the game and some thought provoking choices instead of wandering around repeatedly asking people for a person and a journal that no one seems to have any idea of where either one is. If I choose to continue in this game I will need to consult a guide. Not my idea of a good game. It should also be noted that the game takes up a hefty piece of memory as well.
Fourth time lucky

I've purchased the other beamdog adaptations of D&D RPGs and can categorically say this runs and is the most playable of the bunch. Icewind Dale wins on presentation, but Torment is much more playable.
Good RPG

Huge and immersive, with interesting graphics and challenging mysteries and puzzles. Many people will Iove this game. I, however, prefer games like Diablo, Avernum and Wizardry, where most of a player's time is spent fighting monsters and acquiring gold, magic items and equipment. This game contains a LOT of dialogue, so expect to spend a lot of time conversing with NPCs; and if you happen to not ask someone a certain question, it can be detrimental to gameplay and character development. If you enjoy lots of dialogue, you'll love this game, otherwise consider trying Bard's Tale or Avernum.
Runs terribly on iPad 3 - no cloud saves :(
Mr. Mediocrity
Fix these two issues and you got a 5-star app. Such a cool game but it's such a slog to play on the iPad 3 with how terribly it runs. It's like watching a slideshow. Runs fine on my iPhone 7+, but needs to have cloud saves so I can go back and forth.
Torment is amazing

Thank you for bringing back my favourite RPG of all time. I long since lost the opportunity to play Torment on a PC. I had been waiting for the day the Planes once more appeared from beyond the veil...
Perfect execution

I have always wanted to see what the fuss was in Planescape and yes it was as amazing as all that. Kudos to Beamdog on superior execution. I bought the app day one and played through with zero bugs or problems. Thats incredible on such a massive, complex game.
Bad port

I am a huge fan of this series of games. Baldurs Gate II is one of my top 3 games ever. That said, this port is no good. Dialog control is slow (these games have a lot of dialog), I have to click 5-10 times to be able to select an enemy. All around, not worth paying for.
