goated game
takes me back to when i first started good memories
I spent hundreds of hours of my childhood at the Commodore 64 playing these games. This version looks good, has UI modernization and is true to the experience. Great choice for those looking for some old school gaming without having to needlessly endure the old school interface. This is the best Bards Tale experience for modern gamers.
Nostalgic look back at how RPGs were.
The game has two game modes the remastered version that includes an in game map, bestiary, tool tips and probably more i havent yet seen, there is also the Legacy version which is how the original was, no in game map, only able to save at adventurers in and probably more ive forgotten.
I picked this up in the sale so for me it was an absolute bargain, it was great to wander the streets of Skara Brae again
I love this game
I thought I would never be able to play the games I dreamt about after playing from junior high or high school. Boy was I wrong...
They are sooooooooo cool.
This is a great remaster that makes these games more approachable than they've ever been. If you want to play any of the three Bard's Tale games, this is the way to do it. That said, if you're a curious newcomer who doesn't already have a taste for sadistic maze crawling nonsense with minimal story and maximal testing of patience I could never recommend this.
I doubt there are going to be that many newcomers to the series, so I'm going to recommend it anyway on the basis that it does the best possible job at what it set out to do. But these games really do embody all the worst parts about the birth of the genre. Bring lots of different types of mages, cast lots of compass, and make sure your bard is constantly singing a song about light in the darkness... and then pull your hair out when you walk over your 10,000th anti-magic, anti-music, anti-trapzap tile placed right on top of a chokepoint for no reason other than to make you lose 5mp and have to faff around in menus for a while longer.
Pretty good old school RPG.
I used to play these as a kid in the eighties and loved them then. Still love them now.
one of my all time favorite games! the Godfather of dungeon quest games of the era!
IS TRUE TO ORIGINAL IMPLEMENTATION.
Awesome classic dungeon crawler!!!! I only made it 35.9 hours, but that is a long time for playing this game in 2022!
They did a good job bringing it to a new generation.
Note: This game was played in its entirety on a Steam Deck. Both controller, and keyboard+mouse were used.
TLDR: 6.5/10. A lovely remake, but some old warts remain. The rose tinted goggles of nostalgia come off fairly quickly in Part 3.
So, The Bard’s Tale has always been an interesting series of games for me. I think, among every game I’ve ever owned, I’ve owned this series “the most”. By that, I mean I’ve owned the first title for my C64, Amiga 500, PC, Mac, NES, and probably some other systems I cannot remember at the moment. It would feel like as soon as I got a new system, I would have to get The Bard’s Tale as my inaugural purchase. The same holds true for Parts 2 & 3, though not to the same extent as Part 1. And despite owning this many copies, I have never finished any of the games, never, until now.
Unlike many other reviewers, I found my playthrough to be almost an inverse experience to theirs, enjoyment-wise. I had the most fun in Part 1, despite it being the simplest game by far. The plot logically flowed from one location to the next, and you definitely felt your party growing much stronger as the adventure neared its conclusion. Item progression was the ABSOLUTE best in this game, by far. You start out with almost nothing, and by the end of the game your characters feel like gods. (Spoiler: right at the end is an optional weapon. You can get multiples by running the dungeon multiple times without killing the final boss. Get this weapon for ALL your melee characters, and more if you plan to change your party).
The second game really expands on the first. It’s a huge thrill to go “outside” and into different cities. But the best part, for me, were the timed puzzles bookmarking each chapter. Most people hate these (and reviews reflect this), but I always found them fascinating. The clues to each are in plain sight, but they can be extremely difficult to figure out. These “snares” were the highlight of Part 2. What I didn’t like so much was: 1) character progression, 2) item progression, and 3) combat. 1) You were probably already max stats from Part 1, and Part 2 expands on this in such a minor fashion that you’ll be max stats again after the first dungeon. There isn’t much to look forward to, with few spells and songs to buy/find. 2) Similarly, there are almost no new items in this game. There are a handful (probably only around a dozen or so), but they are all outclassed by what you could have gotten in the first game (if you chose to do so). The shocking truth was that from the start of the second game until the penultimate dungeon, I had made exactly ZERO changes to my equipped gear. Finally, in the last two dungeons, I did find some (minor) upgrades. 3) The combat in this game just drags on and on and on. You were already godlike at the end of the first game, so they had to make the enemies so much stronger to compensate. Combats will be over in either two seconds or will be a long slog for several minutes (with no danger to your characters, everyone will just be missing both attacks and spells). In the end, I did enjoy this game, just not as much as the first.
The third game was my least favorite. It was also my least played when the originals were released, so almost everything in this game was new to me. Like before, the monsters get even more of a glow up, but thankfully you are given more room to grow in the final adventure. Itemization is “ok”, with, again, few upgrades in the first third of the adventure. In the second third, I received some great upgrades, and then in the final dungeons again a few upgrades. Combat is an absolute slog this time. The worst part is that you’ll need to rely on bard songs for damage, but unlike spells, there is no convenient “recently used” category to make casting/singing easier. So this becomes a huge drain on your hands to have to select the same song every turn of combat, for multiple turns, for each combat. It’s annoying and with all of the other quality of life improvements to the game, I really feel like they missed the ball on that. The final combat (no spoilers) was both a delight and an annoyance.
Looking back on the over one hundred hours I played on this version, I’m glad I did, because I finally got to see everything in these games that I have owned for probably close to 40 years now. The remake is competently done, with no crashes, and only a few minor hiccups that, for the most part, do not detract too much from the game.
Thank you for reading this far!
Same game(S), but now without DOSBOX!
Good game , Nice and simple bit repetitive in parts but i do enjoy it.
This is the definition of remaster perfection. They captured all the style and game play of the original and added fantastic quality of life features to make it playable. For example, the game will automatically fill out a map graph for you as you explore each dungeon taking care of all the note taking and tedium that we used to do by hand. That is just one great feature which adds to the quality of life while playing but doesn't change the game from the original. The art and sound is all the same as the original just enhanced. If you loved the originals just get this.
A nice nostalgic tour, but new and improved!
Just like the old days in Skara Brae.
amazing
Excellent remake of the CRPG classic.
Brings me back to childhood but this time it seems easier.
