Fantastic remake of the trilogy I played as a kid. Good graphics but not over the top, so it retains that simple nostalgic feel. The remake does not hold your hand. It does make the tedious work automatic and much easier, but that is grunt work you could & would have done anyway on graph paper. It doesn't ease the difficulty of the games insofar as puzzles. Also, experience points required to up levels are reduced, but again this amounts to tedious grunt work you know you could & would have done back in the day simply by fighting longer and "wasting" hours. They really nailed the automapping bit with a great legend of all the hot spots. Really wish Krome & InXile you would negotiate the rights to Dragon Wars, since that was originally to be and even named "Bard's Tale IV" until just before its release! Anyway, on to the official Bard's Tale IV! Thank you, Krome and InXile! Keep up the great work!
