About this game

The Bard's Tale ARPG: Remastered and Resnarkled overview

You play as the titular Bard, a roguish, manipulative and lewd songster whose priorities in life are the acquisition of material wealth and carnal pleasures. The Bard’s pretty sarcastic by nature, but you get to decide just how scathing he is by selecting ‘Nice’ or ‘Sarky’ responses. Watch out you don’t get too cocky though; folk you’ve upset may come back to haunt you.

During his raucous adventures, the Bard recruits a motley band of eccentrics and misfits to help in his ignoble cause. Enemies can be defeated using traditional or magical weapons and you can also use the Bard’s dulcet tones to summon creatures. If you’re tired of saving humankind or bored of games that take themselves a bit too seriously, The Bard’s Tale could very well be for you.
