Classic D&D RPGs Arrive on the Epic Games Store — Here’s Why These 90s Games Are Still Awesome
2 अक्टू॰ 2021
Baldur’s Gate I & II Enhanced Editions
Why you should play:
- They’re story-rich games where your choices matter
Baldur’s Gate is a pioneer of the open-world fantasy genre. Even today, few games rival Baldur’s Gate in scope of story, player-choice, and exploration.
It’s incredibly satisfying to feel the decisions you make and relationships you build with the game’s colorful cast of characters all make a difference to how the story unfolds.

- There’s a miniature-giant space hamster
Successfully recruit the dashing ranger, Minsc, and you’ll meet another hero— his furry companion, Boo.
“Take heart fellow adventurers, for you have curried the favor of Boo, the only miniature giant space hamster in the Realm!” ~ Minsc

- There’s a Story Mode for beginners
Classic games can be tough— really tough. Luckily, with the enhanced edition’s “Story Mode,” Baldur’s Gate is made for absolutely everyone who loves adventure!
So, even if you’re not ready for the truly crunchy challenge of old school RPGs, you can still dive in and play for the sake of the story (which is honestly so worth it).

So, you tried Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and want to take your character on more adventures (we’re not surprised).
Continue your hero’s journey with the Siege of Dragonspear expansion, and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition for more story-rich adventuring— or start again from the beginning with a new character and new choices!

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition
Why you should play:
- It’s weird in the best way possible
This is a cult classic for good reason. The game is set in Sigil, a city connected to multitudes of peculiar worlds. You play as “The Nameless One”— an immortal suffering from a bad case of amnesia. Joined by a fast-talking, floating skull named “Morte,” you begin to unravel secrets about your own past, and the bizarre world around you.
- Your choices matter. A lot.
There are tons of player choices to explore, with complex branching dialog trees built into the game design. Just like in a tabletop Dungeons & Dragons campaign, your choices change how the game unfolds.
“In Planescape: Torment, a lie can bring a person to life. You can talk your way out of boss fights. You can even convince the final boss to kill himself.” ~ Jason Schreier, Kotaku (2013)

- Save on Air-Conditioning
It’s been HOT this summer. Why not cool off by travelling to the northernmost reaches of the Forgotten Realms and exploring the snowy peaks at the Spine of the World? Don’t forget your parka & boots!
