I played this back in the 90s. I loved it then and more now.

В эту игру первый раз играю, до этого не играл и не знал про неё ничего. Что можно сказать? Игра сильно устарела, и что самое главное, не в графическом, геймплейном плане. Чем больше проходишь, тем больше начинает наскучивать из-за однообразных боёв( довольно длинных и муторных), и прохождении несколько раз одних и тех же локаций. Механика боя составляет 95% игры ( и для меня это жирный минус, ибо хочется разнообразия) и под конец игры от неё устаешь. Но из плюсов: классная атмосфера и стиль игры, диалоги и мир. Так что игру эту советую к прохождению только любителям старых и классических игр.

Once you figure it out the game is really pretty good. I keep collecting diaries and I still don’t know if they do anything but for a fun dungeon crawler it’s great.

I hate this game; even on easy mode it’s hard. I play to relax and enjoy. I don’t care about challenges. It’s very difficult to save the game and mobs will often times block you from doing anything. Spells take forever to cast. And you have to use the spells to summon guardians or buffs/heal very frequently. It’s very very annoying and frustrating. The movement button is very buggy and you stop very frequently and will die quite often.

One of the funniest ARPG there is. They should create more ARPG’s like this.

Fun and funny but only has one save spot so you can easily miss key matters and cannot go back to redo so that’s really frustrating!

How I’ve never heard of this game until now? I came across TBT looking for a legit mobile rpg and was pleasantly surprised to find this port. The writing, voice acting and music are top notch, and I’m loving the atmosphere. Also, thank you for including controller support! More games need to do this. I’m still early into the game, but I’m already hooked. Wonderful job, inXile!

I loved Bard‘s Tale on PC and was very happy to have found it here, for a steal of a price. Unfortunately, for me it is unplayable due to black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, which block out subtitles and dialogue options when talking to NPCs. I don’t know if this issue is with iPad 11“ only, but I am very sad not being able to properly enjoy this gem. I highly doubt this will be fixed on an old game like this, as it seems to be on the App Store for some time, so I would recommend not to purchase it here and play the PC or console version instead, if possible.
