There has never been a better time to play Planescape: Torment. This venerable old game was once just a classic gaming memory for RPG fans. Now, an improved addition is available on Steam and also on iOS, which means you can enjoy this game on the go.

Originally released in 1999, the improved edition of Planescape: Torment came out in 2017. Once you realize that nothing has managed to replicate the originality of Planescape: Torment, you will understand the enduring appeal of the game.

Improved, but not new

The version of Planescape: Torment on sale is now announced as “Enhanced”. It is important to clarify exactly what this means.

First, nothing new has actually been added. This is a good thing for Planescape purists who might have feared it would receive the kind of unnecessary additions received by the improved version of Baldur’s Gate.

For better or for worse, what you get here is the original game with clean graphics. And if you don’t like those brighter graphics, you can always turn them off and enjoy the game exactly as it looked in 1999.

If you do you want to change the gaming experience, the Enhanced Edition supports mods, just like the old one. However, the old mods won’t work – you’ll have to download something new. And of course, these mods only work on the PC version of the game. Sorry, iOS users!
