The Bard's Tale Reviews

Original Games don’t seem to work

Tlockett13 on

United States

I purchased this game for nostalgia purposes to play the original I played as a kid. The Bard’s Tale 3 appears to get stuck once I put the character disk in and it asks me if I want to continue with my saved game. I have chosen both yes and no, and nothing happens. Maybe, I am doing something wrong. Can anybody help? I would hate to request my money back, but I could use help with this.

cut scenes…

United States

can’t get past the rat cut scene, super frustrating, basically makes the new game worthless.

Unplayable

Lynde2006 on

6 minutes into the game and it freezes.

Excellent Game.

Love this game. It’s a streamlined RPG. You won’t really have to deal with selling a bunch of loot or min/maxing your character. The gameplay is pretty straight forward. The graphics are pretty decent, except for the cutscenes. As far as I know, all of the bugs that are mentioned in other reviews have been fixed. I haven’t had any issues with the game. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a simple fun adventure rpg.

Too buggy to play

Jer Ser on

United States

Couldn’t even see the conversation options from the very beginning. Unplayable.

Definitely worth more than $6

The storyline is great, the sing alongs are are so funny, just and overall enjoyable game to play. I’ve had the game for over two years and I’m playing for the forth time and still have fun playing and discovering things I have missed previously.

Freezes during cut scenes

United States

This is not optimized for iPadOS 16. Since you are selling it shouldn’t work?

Used to be good

Ruined by updates on

United States

I originally bought this game on my computer years back. Loved it, lotta fun stuff to do and crude jokes to laugh at. Then I bought it for my iPad mini several years back. Ran great, had a lot of fun playing it on here. Now they add a patch that makes it incompatible with my iPad mini. So much for this purchase, can't trust a company to stick to the system requirements even on ancient games like this.

Original trilogy launch fail

United States

Great game. I’ve always liked the newer version but part 1 of the original trilogy fails to launch. The screen fills with characters and the app crashes. Please have a look. Thanks! Would love to play through the original games on mobile.
