Baldur’s Gate II Enhanced Edition now available on iOS

Ready to head back into the world of Baldur’s Gate? Beamdog and Overhaul Games’ redux of the PC role-playing classic is now available on the Apple iPad.

There are few PC RPG’s that had the massive following of the Baldur’s Gate series. Based on the Dungeons & Dragons medieval fantasy world, the games captivated with their action as much as their stunning attention to detail in recreating what really is one of the best loved properties of all time in D&D. The new revised version of the original game (well, the original game’s sequel) from Overhaul Games features a bunch of new stuff as well as the Shadows of Amn expansion pack and a completely HD-ified look.
