Experience the events that led to The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep and The Mage's Tale! The Bard's Tale Trilogy is a remastering of the classic 1980's series, one of the godfathers of the RPG genre. Create an adventuring party in the first volume and play it across all three, creating a heroic story all your own!
The Bard's Tale Trilogy contains remastered versions of all three classic games: The Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown, The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight, and The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate! Rescue a city trapped by a wizard, reforge the legendary Destiny Wand, and travel across time and space to confront a Mad God! Enjoy a uniform playing experience across all three titles without the need for emulation or compatibility concerns. For the first time, play as male or female across all three games! Also includes other quality of life changes such as automapping for all three games, spell access, and updated equipment/inventory management. Go old school with Legacy Mode, a suite of features which will allow veteran players to experience the games similarly to how they first played them, and will be released free of charge for owners when complete.
The Bard's Tale Trilogy is a chance for old fans to be young once again and for a new generation of roleplaying and dungeon crawler fans to discover why these games matter so much all these years later. Pick up the game and start your epic adventure today!

One of the Greatest Games of All Time
Warriors and wizards unit! The original Bard's Tale I-III were classics, but the remaster has made them even better - near perfect, actually, for everything I would have asked for! It's just brilliant. The three best features that have been updated are... (1) Automapping (no more damn graph paaper) (2) Saving anywhere (not just the Adventurer's Guild) (3) Easy spell selection (no more fussing with four-letter spell codes) Of course, if you really want the experience of the originals, you do have the option of the "Legacy mode." It's also fun that you're allowed to build a party in BTI, and use it all the way into and through BTIII. You're not required, but it's an entertaining option. This game is NOT about fancy graphics or tricky sounds. Moving through cities, dungeons and towers is mostly the same right-angle, static background that you found in Wolfenstein 3D, in 1992. Combat is a mostly static picture of the enemy, while you read a text scroll explaining what is happening. It's not straight-ahead dungeon delving, though, either. There are codes and processes to figure out, clues and puzzles, movement between locations that you have to explore... it's just a neat game all around. One of the two best games ever (the other is Sid Meier's Pirates! - also available on GOG). Thanks, guys!
