g34rhd,
Yeah umm ok
If you’re look for a story line and character development look elsewhere. It is an old school classic hack and slash waste of time. Very addictive and frustrating at times. The graphics are kind of small even on an iPad. Clunky controls and cutscenes become very tedious at times. I finished the game. I bought the app because of how much I remembered enjoying the game on Xbox original. I like how it makes fun of the whole rpg grind. Go there kill that monster collect this that and the other meet a new npc do the same thing again and again and again all the while being insulted by a stodgy narrator and being told what a terrible person you are by everyone throughout the land. This game is not for someone with low self esteem. It’s was worth a play through for old times sake. I’m getting rid of it. Thus ends the Bard’s Tale for me. Good Riddance!
mikerouleau,
My Favorite iOS Game
I held off on purchasing Bard’s Tale initially because some of the graphics previews made me think it was just a port of an old Commodore 64 title, or some sort of satirical game, but it is actually an extremely impressive hi-res, 3D isometric RPG action/adventure, that ALSO includes the original BT trilogy. I don’t know what I was thinking...but in all fairness, I’d never heard of it or played it before. I guess you could say it is a little bit like DungeonSiege with a narrative, and lots of gags, humor and music woven in, but it really is its own creature. It is not an open world, and the quests so far have been pretty linear, but I’m not that far in (I don’t think), and remain hopeful that things may yet branch out a little bit. We’ll see. In any case, it is the best iOS game I have played bar none, and my current favorite. I think it is more fun than Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Titan Quest, all of which I found kind of boring, not to mention overly-complex, which didn’t really help me relax. No offense intended. I’ve simply had a lot of fun with Bard’s Tale so far, and find it quite entertaining. I suggest you buy it.
Update: I’m playing the game on a 12.9” iPad Pro (256) running iOS 11.2.2, with no problems whatsoever.

stinky pigu,
Original Trilogy are not remastered
I actually got the game more for the original trilogy thinking they were also the remastered versions. The description was not clear about that, but they are actually the original 1980s version and a pain to play on the iphone, not playable as far as as I'm concern.
The 2004 Bard's Tale game is fun and worth playing for the story. I am not sure the strategy portion is worth another play through on olde school level.
Excellent game for $3, the cost of a cup of coffee.

Zoe Remedy,
LOVE THIS GAME
This game is so funny, with fantastic voice acting. I have a couple of very minor complaints, but they’re really nothing compared to how much I’ve enjoyed it. (Spoiler alert??:) There’s a few parts where I felt a bit trapped and limited by the choices available—for instance when the bard couldn’t understand the guy with the Scottish dialect. Even I could understand that he was telling me that the shadow axe was in the dungeon, and I’m an American who usually has a hard time understanding thick accents, so having to go back . Also there are some bits that are just a bit too well hidden, and I was NOT happy when they killed the dog. Then again, I can appreciate the John Wick aspect of it.
Halthierian,
A freaking blast from the past!
I don’t ever write reviews but when I saw this I had to. This is based off the 2004 Bard’s tale and does great justice, when I initially saw this on IOS I was hit with a massive wave of nostalgia, I grew up playing this and it was probably the first RPG hack n slash I ever played, I loved it then and loved it now, I even have a strict rule when doing in game purchases that I broke for this, and let me clarify you don’t need to buy anything in game I just wanted the massive trip down memory lane, from some reviews it seems like no one knows or remembers this game was made well over a decade ago, but still after all this time I love it! It made my day seeing this game again.
Anthony213546,
Best $3.00 I’ve ever spent on IOS
This game has at least 15 - 20 hours of gameplay for an extremely nominal outright purchase price. There are no micro-transactions to upgrade your character or equipment. There are literally zero attempts to get you to spend any money other than the initial purchase price which if I recall was around $2.99. This was a refreshing blast back to the days when we could just purchase a game without hitting the pay to win wall. The narration was very entertaining. The gameplay was not at all glitchy as claimed by other reviews. It was just an all around fun game without having to make a life commitment to daily quests and guild, etc.
Big Voice,
THE ORIGINAL IS BACK!
Hi All,
This game is the greatest value out there. This is a great game and the originals make it even better. Now, I know some people are going to gripe about the graphics in the bonus feature of the 1980s BT3. What happened there is that the developers were porting the Apple 2 GS versions of the games (1 and 2) to the iPad. There was no GS version of the Bards Tale 3, much to my disappointment back then. Thus, they ported the Apple 2 plus/e/c version over. So, Apple 2 owners have the authentic ports they had back then. There was a better looking version of BT3 though - the Amiga version, but I have learned that it was buggy. Thus, including the non-buggy version of BT3 was a good call, even with the low quality Apple II graphics.
(If you love the originals, the remastered versions for PC/PS/Xbox are practically perfect. There you can find pixel perfect graphics and a fantastic gaming experience.)
This iOS app is a 5 star game, no question.

Needes better graphics
For $3 I know you can’t expect the moon. Character creation is the best part with decently detailed for humor, dialogue, writing and voice acting are well done also. Now I’m only about an hour in but the world graphics and clunky controls could have had more attention. I mean I have paid a $1 less for games with better controls and graphics. I don’t regret buying it but I recommend buying during a sale. You do get previous versions but OMG unless you are really desperate for 8 bit crap... really. If things improve after I finish I will revise my thoughts. Not really sure why everyone is giving it a 4-4.5.
Vinnie1103,
Excellent Game.
Love this game. It’s a streamlined RPG. You won’t really have to deal with selling a bunch of loot or min/maxing your character. The gameplay is pretty straight forward. The graphics are pretty decent, except for the cutscenes. As far as I know, all of the bugs that are mentioned in other reviews have been fixed. I haven’t had any issues with the game. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a simple fun adventure rpg.

Never-ending fun
I’ve been obsessed with playing this game for years now! Everything about it is so very entertaining! The humor, the gameplay and the ability to control and collect party members (my favorite aspect of the game) keeps me coming back for more action. Easily, it’s one of the best games of all time!
Kudos, y’all!
