Good game, bad version

I love the game and haven't played any bard's tale games before. It's fun and easy to understand, but the GOG Galaxy version plays in slowmotion, your movement, your attacks and the cut scene's all play at 0.25x of the normal speed. This can be fixed by playing the game in windowed mode (haven't tested it because I coundn't open the game in windowed mode). The Steam version works just perfectly fine, so I would recommend buying the game over there.

LOVE. but dies on Yosemite

Mac users!!! If you're going to buy this you have to Mavericks or lower. Yosemite crashes on load. Tried on multiple machines. Besides that the game is awesome! Love the feel, wish it was more of a grinder. Wish there were sequels!!!

A parody of RPGs

I played the original Bard's Tale trilogy back in the 1980s. This game isn't really for us. It's a somewhat generic Diablo-style action RPG that parodies fantasy tropes. The humor isn't bad but seems designed for teens. Graphics and music are fine. Gameplay is a bit casual but can be surprisingly challenging at times if you don't take your build seriously. The game is fine for what it is, but you you could do better. This would be worth buying if you're tired of grimdark, serious ARPGs, though.

Dull, repetitive and lackluster ARPG

The Bard's Tale (2005) didn't age well. Graphic is just plain bad for today standard, but that is to be expected for an old game. Unlike the previous Bard's Tale titles, which are classic dungeons crawler. The Bard's Tale (2005) is an action RPG a la Diablo, however it is missing every single element, which makes an ARPG great. There is no loot nor skill/character progession at all, it is as bare bone as it can get. Monoton environment and lack of different enemy types makes it a literal snail paced ARPG. Oh what about the music or sound you might ask? Nope, no battle theme nor background music and maybe 3-4 different sound effects. Did I mention the glorious satisfaction of hitting an enemy (hit detection and feedback)? No? It is like hitting your enemy with a wet noodle. I could rant about the boring level design, which I will, because you are reading my review. Image an epic final battle, which the Bard's Tale won't deliver (joke is on you) , because you are too busy fighting in the same room 13 times interrupted by a long unskippable slow elevator animation and not so fancy panorama view of the freaking elevator until the final Boss, which also induce some serious RL rage in me (oh forgot to mention: SPOILER!) The only redeem factor in this game was the tongue-in-cheek humour, which wasn't LOL worthy,but mildly amusing and kept me going for 12 hours until I beat the game. Would I recommend this game? Serious: NO, but I will, because I want you to experience the not so epic final struggle eh I mean battle (real Rage included)

Original Trilogy unplayable

DO NOT BUY THIS I bought this so I could enjoy the nostalgia of playing the original three Bard's Tale games. However, the emulator used to run them is built into the executable of the main game so that you cannot tweak its settings ... and it doesn't respect the constant frame rate and CPU speed that the games were built for, so the animations in the games jerk spastically through their motions, the text flies off the screen faster than a human can possibly see it, and most infuriating of all, the music that plays constantly while using bard spells is totally without rhythm. Although, theoretically you may be able to get to the end of this game if you already know what all the text says and can progress without reading it ... the godawful anti-music will have you jabbing a pencil into your brain long before you can actually finish the game.
