The Bard's Tale ARPG: Remastered and Resnarkled

Bit of a warning for anyone purchasing this (possibly linux port specific). Save at every opportunity. After a while of play, I'd get a graphics bug that would turn an area of the map yellow. Sometimes visible early by yellow streaks between the textures. The frame rate in the yellow area would drop precipitously. The only fix was to restore from a save This was particularly annoying in the final tower where save points were few and far between and I had to fight the Finfolk in level 10 blind using the minimap only and in slow motion. Thankfully using the elevator was considered a new map load. Otherwise, enjoyable if a bit predictable and grind-y in places.

Contrary to what GOG says, it's apparently not working on Windows 7. See the forum page for other users' input. https://www.gog.com/forum/the_bards_tale_series/the_bards_tale_remastered_and_resnarkled/page4

If you got the humor and the time this one helluwa adventure :D

I was honestly looking forward to finally playing this game. I'd heard about it's great humor and fun combat, and I was sorely disappointed. Maybe 4 hours in and I already regret the time and money I've spent. The humor is almost exclusively the lowest common denominator -- it's all cheap weak and I think I chuckled maybe twice, just a little. On top of that, the gameplay is basic and not very engaging, while the boss fights so far have been awful. First there's the profoundly annoying bugbear, then you get the trow/goblin boss in the park -- the one who you can't attack in melee, your ranged minion will never target, and who always summons help much faster than you can. After almost ten minutes of fighting him and barely making any headway, I realized that this game bites and uninstalled it. Save your time, you're probably better off getting Bard's Tale 4 -- it's look much better than this. Oh, and also the songs are mostly just annoying and you will get *sick to death* of killing hundreds of trow, especially in the aforementioned park.

what a great game very funny in places if you like monty python then this game is for you the only bug i have found in this game is when trying to free dolyn from behind an ice wall the fire elemental is supposed to melt the ice but for some strange reason it did not work but i have a work round go as close to the ice wall as you can then summon herne the boss from the first tower who you defeated and he should smash the ice wall well thats what worked for me but with any luck inXile entertainment will release the bard's tale remastered and resnarkled that they released on steam and from what i have read online they said that they would also release the new updated version on gog.com so come on inXile release the new version on gog.com so the fans of the bard's tale on here can also enjoy the new updated version that steam owners are enjoying
