The Bard's Tale

This is a game that I grew up with granted it was on the original xbox, I beat dark alliance 1 and 2, brotherhood of steel and hunters the reckoning 1 and 2 but like all people with age comes less time so I never got far in this game. But I noticed it in the play store for $1.99 and all my childhood memories came back to me so I got it and I have to say it looks better than I remember! And now I have time to play it because it is always on me!

Bards tale is great! The writing, gameplay, and characters! Wait till u get to the boads! (Amazing!) I played this game's original release way back when. And it's still a solid rpg game with some great roleplaying elements and a hilarious story. Plenty of options when your building your character. Skills, summons all that jazz. Having only the bard, (hey it is a bards tale) as a playable character may seem pretty singular in terms of play style. But with multiple weapon choices as well as summons to choose from and plenty of skills, a bards tale offers plenty of replay value. Jump in and summon some baddies!!

Hilarious dialogue. Great controls. Looooots of gameplay and high replay value. Many classic PC game ports are done poorly -- this one is Capital-P Perfect. Don't pass this one up -- well worth it! For the cost of a fancy coffee; you'll be laughing for dozens of hours or more. Pro-tip: Play in Easy mode. Nothing changes except the frequency of save points and more points of upgrades per level.

Whoever developed this game for Android hit it out of the park! I've been burnt with a lot of games that don't play on my tablet - with 1/4 of the graphics. This game runs seamlessly for me, even in high-def. I wish all playstore games were this good. I like the controls so much I don't even use my moga.

I don't understand... This game is soooo good its still the best on the market! Dialogue, characters, maps, weapons... Everything! Its all amazing! The game even makes fun of itself. Two thumbs up one middle finger to anybody that says this game is no good and ten toes to the curb if you ever think that any other game config can beat this.

This was one of my favorite games on the PS2, it plays rather well on my Kyocera Hydro 4G lte, lets you download standard or high def file, I went with the standard and it plays extremely smooth and the controls can be modified to your liking. Haven't tried yet, but there is also a video on their fb page showing how to connect a PS3 controller up and playing as it would on the console. I'm extremely pleased

Great game for Shield Tablet. Its a good game that kept my attention for a while, like a full console game in a portable format. Funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, but has a good plot. Easy to control with the controller, touchscreen controls are..okay. Can play on both Shield TV and Tablet, game progress syncs via cloud.

This game is amazing. Yes at some point, I did buy in app puchases and lost them in a corrupt game... but I just directly emailed inXile and they generated a code for me to buy new things. So nothing was really lost. They are extremely helpful. Absolutely worth the purchase.

Absolutely the best game I've ever played on a phone. I can't even believe this is the kind of thing that my phone could even handle! It's just like a ps2 game. Even as good as a modern retro game. No fun lost between the console and handhelds. Go for the high def download, I didn't notice any slower operation.

The game is good especially for a mobile game. Problem is i lost my saved game. When i resumed my game i cant control my character so i restarted the app. Did this several times but nothing changed so i decided to load a saved game because i know just a few seconds from the autosave is my saved game but lo and behold when the game loaded it was several hours back! Decided to stopped playing cause i figured if this happened before itll happen again. If this problem persist i suggest to look for another game.

Had the same issues of saving besides rebooting. Do not put the game on your SD card. For some reason it had trouble reading the card. Also for the in app purchases send them a picture of your online receipt. And they will help you.

My husband and I both love playing this game. However, we have both had 3 hour segments of saved games simply vanish before our eyes when we go to load a saved game. It is very disheartening to put that much time and effort into something, and to make so much progress, to just have it vanish.

Great game, very recommended. It has some glitches, especially in cutscenes which tend to get stuck and have some weird behavior. I also would like to know why on my nvidia shield android tv I dont have the original trilogy like on my phone.

I played to the end and got the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" result. How about a little positive resolution after all the time invested, or is that part of the joke? Would have preferred a seduction of the entrapped heroine or the destruction of the nemesis. Instead, got a kick in the groin.

This is one of these older games ported to mobile devices that play better on tablets because of originally being designed for larger screens, higher resolutions on smaller screens can make for tiny textures and text. That being said, I was surprised it plays vary well on my LG G3 smartphone. Even through my smudged screen protector I can still read the text and see what's happening.

I absolutely adore this game and everything about it! This is what I expect from console and PC games but have not been able to find with most Android game. It has great voice acting, witty dialog, entertaining plot and interesting fight scenarios too. Definitely worth the money! I suggest you buy it or check out the free trial-you will love it too if you like Action/RPGs like Zelda series and Dragon Age.

I finally got the game working on my Xperia after a lengthy download, but it is now working good with the settings on low for all. Still as good as the PlayStation version but so overall it is good. The game itself though, is bloody hilarious so listen to the dialogue between Bard and narrator.... Lmao Oh and thanks guy's for the support and assistance, a good team. I look forward to buying more games...

Game save issue can be fixed by leaving the error messaging open and going in to your application manager and hitting force stop for Bard's Tale. After that reload the game and your save should work! Plays great on my low-end tablet and controls were easily to master. It's like a comedic version of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, good ol' hack n' slash fun.

I have'nt really been too interested in playing mobile games, but, i decided to give this a try and i dont regret it a single bit. As expected the virtual d-pad doesn't always do what you'd like but all n all this is a great game. It's got a good sense of humour which a lot of games try and fail with. The graphics look good nothing amazing but its still pretty impressive. Especially considering when the game first came out. If youre looking for a game that has good RPG elements and doesn't charge, buy this

The graphics were smooth and the story line was awesome. However, sometimes the save does not work and says that the save has been corrupted. This has been happening multiple times. Another thing is that there should be a setting on how big the buttons are since sometimes it's really hard hitting them. Overall pretty good game, that $1.99 is put into good use :)

Don't get me wrong, I love foolin' round with a busty barmaid as much as the next handsome minstral, but 30,000 times can rub a fellow raw. Every save game I try becomes corrupt. I play, I save, I play again... From the beginning. IneXile is great, have most of their PC stuff, and with the reviews, thought I'd give this a go on my 4.4.2 Ellipsis 8, but it just doesn't want to save. Even tried to uninstall/reinstall, but to no avail. I shall sing my wistful song and avoid playing.

I bought this mostly for the three classic Bard's tale games, but they don't work! Tech support says it's a known bug with the android keyboard and they won't fix. So much for paid apps being better! I have no problems with the 2002 game, hence the two stars.

I have been enjoying this game! Hollywood voices, quests, humour, fighting. Nice game play. One of the few fames I've ever paid for and worth every penny! If u are sick of games that start to take hours or days to build or upgrade this is for you..continous game play!!

Basic RPG gameplay, with decisive character building and quests. Combat is a little clunky and on-screen controls are functional, but can be flawed. Good atmosphere and quick wit paired with good humour. Overall, a good game that you can easily put 20 hours into if you like.

This game is a must have for any serious old school rpg gamer. Still one of the funniest and most enjoyable games in its genre. Even comes with the original classic trilogy. Great graphics and smooth play. Have not found any glitches yet. Inexile you have to make another trilogy! Well worth 1.99.

I love this game. Nice graphics and story line. I love how it's not boring like other RPGs and love the sense of humor. It's really funny and good job on voice acting! I would have rate it 10 stars. Not laggy on my octacore processor very smooth. GOOD JOB DEV! Fyi the song is stucked in my head beer beer beer fiddly beer beer.....

Ran after a bug where Mell(the guy afraid of Trows) gets electrocuted on electric walls. What happened is that he suddenly stopped moving and when I talk to him again(or any other NPC for that matter) nothing happens. It cuts to cinematic view and I can't press anything anymore. Is there any fix to this or do I have to start from scratch?

I really enjoy playing this game. The graphics are pretty good, the gameplay is great and I love the humor along the way. I would rate this game highly if not for one thing, I hate playing a game for hours just to be told that the save game is damaged and should be deleted, like many others are reporting. It's a great game ruined by not being able to play.

Great Game. Moga Pocket isn't working with game. Moga tech support so far has been useless as well after I submitted a ticket. They told me to use new batteries when the batteries I was ready using were brand new. Sounds like someone was script reading

Diabloish humor if you're into that kinda thing, includes original three games a plus but only get the first 2 to work. Unless you're an ultra big rpg fan u probably won't play them anyways.

I am a bit disappointed. A fine time waster but the story is little more than a series of sophmoric jokes and the combat is just button mashing. Not a real rpg at all. I would have loved this as a 12 year old. Nevertheless, this is probably as close to the witcher for tablet as you are going to find.

Was sceptical before but it 's totally worth its money. If you are looking for a nice RPG with a nicely scripted story and a non freemium bullsh** game it's made for you. I love the interactions u can make during conversation to add a little sweet or salty taste for some extra fun . Graphics are good and its goin well on my phone. So all in all if u like to have a little adventure stayin ready in ur smartphone which offers a good sense of humor and neat melee fights u'll be well served :)

Was fun at first. Then they sent me areas which I can't even get a hit in and get killed Instantly. The blocking is just terrible. Too hard to heal yourself. Whatever happened to just eating some food to heal your self. Very unsatisfied, expect since I paid for this game.

This game was epic when I played it on the PS2 years ago and is even more so now. The HD version is worth the 3.1 gigs it takes up on your sdcard. If you're gonna buy ANY game on play it should be this one!

A really great game. I had one problem, my save games kept getting corrupted so I contacted support and they advised me to turn off auto-save. After that all was great. Make sure you turn off auto-save and you will love this game

I'm writing this review after working my way into it for 2 hours. Every piece of dialogue has had some wit that is sure to make you smile, and the game play isn't half bad either. I'll be playing this one through, for the cost it's a bargain steal, and what's more, it doesn't seem to be a pay-to-play, like a lot of similar titles are.
