### 3/5 — Small text

*2026-07-04, version 3.1.3*

There needs to be a way to make the text bigger.

### 4/5 — Great but could be better

*2026-01-12, version 3.1.3*

Planescape is a great game, hard to go wrong, but external keyboard and mouse support on iPad isn’t good. Touch controls on their own are passable but feel like you’re missing out on the intent of the experience.

### 3/5 — Please fix the zoom

*2025-10-18, version 3.1.3*

I love this game, but unfortunately it’s unplayable on the phone even when the text is scaled maximally. The buttons and text are just too small. I really would love to have this classic be playable.

### 3/5 — Controller Support Please

*2024-05-02, version 3.1.3*

Controller support is all this fantastic port is missing

### 4/5 — Screen size for new iPad homes

*2024-01-30, version 3.1.3*

All I ask is you allow the screen to be full screeen on all the newer phones!! All the other games you make are!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for the subway rides

*2023-04-19, version 3.1.3*

You know the game. I agree with everyone about the issues with UI scaling, and the problems that come along with that. I’ve had to press-hold multiple times on a single inventory item to view it’s details/use, along with taking extra time to make sure I didn’t miss-click anything.

I got used to the small UI after a few hours, I’m on an iPhone. 

If you can adapt to the small UI and can accept that the environment requires very precise finger-selection, then it’s def worth it

### 5/5 — chinese please

*2023-04-12, version 3.1.3*

求 中文  谢谢

### 4/5 — No iCloud saves!?

*2023-01-19, version 3.1.3*

Spent weeks trying to beat this game only to have my phone break and lose everything. Otherwise the game is great. Rough to play due to the tiny buttons but it works once you get the hang of it. I’d love to be able to use some mods or at least a debug console so I can use some cheats when I’m not in the mood to start from scratch again.

### 3/5 — Request

*2022-11-19, version 3.1.3*

Italian language?

### 3/5 — 5 years no update!!!

*2022-10-16, version 3.1.3*

Come on guys... We need support for newer devices... Apple will shut you down due to inactivity...

### 5/5 — iPad

*2022-09-09*

Ótimo para jogar no IPad, excelente jogo, construção da história e detalhes sensacionais

### 2/5 — Spanish please

*2022-08-01, version 3.1.3*

How much time have to wait for a spanish translation? Seriously, it’s so hard to get a spanish translation of this classic game? I lost hope with this , we’ll never see a spanish translation. So disappointed with Overhaul Games.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and no controller support

*2026-06-30, version 3.1.3*

Game is unplayable. Controller doesn’t work. Refund as game is inoperable. Won’t even open.

### 1/5 — Обман с русским языком

*2024-11-18, version 3.1.3*

Уважайте игроков готовых покупать игру двадцатилетней давности. Язык до сих пор не адаптирован, то что предлагается в комментариях подходит только для андроид, на айпад не возможно приобрести

### 1/5 — I LOVE AR-15’s

*2024-10-02*

Oh, the sound they make. Do you like them, too? I love how much damage they do. I have three of them. Man, living things just drop when hit. Sometimes it’s best to make it slow, though. The damage they do is incredible! Have you seen pictures? I’d hate to be on the receiving end of that. Hee hee. Your team will enjoy. Can’t wait to show them off to Trent and all. I leave in 30 minutes.

### 1/5 — разработчик обманул!

*2024-09-03, version 3.1.3*

обещали русский язык, но по прошествии 6 лет, ничего не сделали! 

при этом игра вся завязана на разговорах и английский там не простой!

### 1/5 — No iCloud Save Backup

*2024-04-28, version 3.1.3*

…

### 1/5 — Skvělá hra, příšerná firma

*2023-10-14, version 3.1.3*

Spolu s vydáním byla slíbena implementace češtiny. Překlad byl dokončen cca za měsíc, jeho vložení do hry se odkládalo 3 roky, načež bylo oznámeno, že k tomu vůbec nedojde. Prosím, nepodporujte Beamdog.

### 1/5 — Anglais !!!

*2023-05-18*

La langue française ne figure plus dans le jeu, elle l’était par le passé …
Aucun moyen de télécharger une version dans la langue française.

### 1/5 — Где Русский, Джо?

*2022-08-08*

Прошло целых 5 лет с последнего обновления.
Игра за такие деньги висит у меня мертвым грузом.
Много раз пытался начинать, но бросал, так как многое не понятно, а бессмысленно тапать по всему экрану, чтобы проходить дальше - глупо и скучно.
Достаточно было бы выпустить обновление, делающее открытый исходный код, как у NWN EE здесь же, на iOS. Но нет желания, видимо. Мы бы сами поставили себе перевод и не парились.
Все переводчики давно уже перевели тут все, что можно. Я думаю, они готовы даже за косарь отдать эти труды, лишь бы перевод был.
Но нет. До сих пор «переговоры, юридические вопросы,…» Вы че, смеётесь?
Есть куча людей, которые не покупают эту игру, потому что в ней тут нет русского языка.
Предлагаете им всем перегореть?
Сделайте доступ к файлам, пожалуйста. Остальное мы сами сделаем.

### 1/5 — Best of the best of the best

*2022-04-30*

Где русский язык?

### 1/5 — Still not Czech

*2022-03-14, version 3.1.3*

### 5/5 — Une pépite

*2026-05-09*

Pour les puristes du Jdr. Rien à dire c est parfait.

### 5/5 — 전투 난이도가 낮은게 장점이 됨

*2025-07-14*

솔직히 폰으로 BG2는 못해도 토먼트는 할만합니다 ㅎㅎ

### 5/5 — One of the best written CRPGs ever made

*2025-07-08, version 3.1.3*

This game is a masterpiece of storytelling by the writer of Kotor 2, Fallout: New Vegas (in part), and Prey. Chris Avellone has a particular style when it comes to his stories that can make some beats feel familiar, but they are always a delight to play through. The port runs perfectly on iPad and was awesome to play through on mobile.

### 5/5 — Super.

*2025-05-03*

Ist so super gemacht

### 5/5 — What an amazing game

*2024-12-19, version 3.1.3*

The best narrative game.  Thank you team for porting this classic.

### 5/5 — Français texte et voix

*2024-08-15*

Le jeu démarre par défaut en anglais, il suffit d aller dans les options et de choisir le français

### 5/5 — What can change the nature of a man?

*2024-04-08, version 3.1.3*

The best game I ever read. Seriously, I don’t think any other game has as much text as this one, and it almost certainly presents the player with the widest choice of responses, allowing you to actually role play the protagonist.

While using the same mechanics as Baldur’s Gate 2, which is probably the most game-y RPG in existence, gameplay here is a bit of an afterthought. You don’t play Planescape Torment for how it plays; you play it for the mature, harrowing storyline, for fleshed out, original characters, and because strength and force is not the best option. If you play it like every other RPG, you will not get the ‘good’ ending, although ‘good’ is extremely relative in this case, as there is no ‘and they lived happily ever after’.

### 5/5 — 한글 전환 방법 알려주세요

*2023-12-09*

구매했는데 한글로 바꾸는 방법을 못찾겠습니다

### 5/5 — 2023년에도 굉장한 게임입니다.

*2023-10-06*

전 이제서야 해본 뇌가 되었네요. 안해본 뇌들은 어서 이 문학작품을 경험하세요. 여지껏해본 게임중 가장 압도적인 스토리와 대사, 전달력입니디. 전투는 거들뿐.

### 5/5 — One of the best RPG stories

*2023-05-08, version 3.1.3*

And a good port. I do not play mobile games besides this and FTL.
