Older games players may remember the original Bard's Tale games. If you're looking for an in-depth RPG game in the style of those games, this modern version of The Bard's Tale may not appeal as it's a very different type of game to the original. Though it's got the same Producer as the original - Brian Fargo - this is not a remake by any means. What we have here is an action-RPG – a curious mix of game styles that works well in some ways, not in others, but in the end it works very well because of the large doses of humour injected into it.
