This game is optimized for tablets and not recommended for phones with screen sizes under 7 inches. Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright. As you escape and step back into the wider world, the question at the heart of the Bhaalspawn saga becomes impossible to ignore. Can you resist the evil in your blood and forsake the dark destiny that awaits you? Or will you embrace your monstrous nature within and ascend to godhood as the new Lord of Murder? Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition brings one of the most celebrated RPGs of all time back for modern adventurers, preserving the depth, atmosphere, and storytelling that defined the golden age of cRPGs. Continue the journey you began in Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, carrying your hero forward into a darker, more ambitious chapter—or forge a new protagonist to shape your own path through the Forgotten Realms. The Enhanced Edition includes the full original experience—Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal—along with a refined arena mode for players who enjoy tactical challenges. Classic Campaign: The original Shadows of Amn adventure, faithfully restored Expansion: Throne of Bhaal, the epic conclusion to the Bhaalspawn saga Arena Challenges: The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay, a gauntlet of strategic battles Refined Difficulty Options: Story Mode for relaxed exploration and narrative focus; Legacy of Bhaal for veterans seeking a punishing, old‑school test of skill Fist of the Fallen: Help Rasaad, the Sun Soul Monk, find peace in his quest for vengeance. The following content is available for in-app purchase: - A Price Paid in Blood: Help the Blackguard Dorn Il-Khan appease the bloody demands of his dark patron. - A Voice in the Dark: Recruit the Thief Hexxat and retrieve long-lost artifacts from tombs as far away as Zakhara. - In Defense of the Wild: Stand with Neera the Wild Mage against a ruthless school of Red Wizards. The classic returns with thoughtful refinements that make it smoother to play today while keeping its soul untouched. Note: All translations are text only. Voice-overs are played in English.
