User Reviews

Overall, players praise The Bard's Tale for witty dialogue, strong voice acting, nostalgic charm, and good value, but several reviews report reliability issues (startup crashes and loading failures) and problems with in-game purchases. The game’s visuals and controls feel dated and occasional glitches detract from the experience, resulting in a mixed reception despite the humor and charm.

Pros

Hilarious, witty dialogue and strong voice acting
Nostalgic, classic feel that honors the PC-era game
Engaging hack-and-slash gameplay with good music
Excellent perceived value for money at an affordable price

Cons

Frequent loading and startup issues (stuck on title screen, loads fail, lockups at startup)
In-game purchases and upgrades often not working
Visuals and controls feel dated due to the age of the game
Occasional glitches or stability problems reported by players

Recent reviews

Didnt expect the game to be short and making money in the game is pointless if I cant even spend it on anything. I paid for one magic sword and that was all I need to reach the end, the addlestones wernt even used until the final tower, I had 95 stones on me. 50k just to beat the game with it.
