The Bard's Tale is a fantasy role-playing game that casts players as a wandering minstrel with a knack for getting into trouble. Explore a sprawling world, engage in turn-based combat, and use musical abilities to influence allies and enemies alike. The journey is filled with quests, humor, and unexpected twists.
The Bard’s Tale 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.

This is not the Remastered and Resnarkled version. Which is good since the remastered has many bugs and was not working in most of the systems (Linux, Windows 7).
I’m happy to find this version now, since probably I can use it on the Steam Deck.
Also there is almost no differences with the Remastered version, since they didn’t improve the gameplay or graphics.
Glad to know that you liked it 😀 have fun!
