  • RPG
  • Dungeon crawler
  • Classic

The three Bard's Tale games from the 80s, remastered: you create a party of up to seven adventurers and take it through all three, roaming streets and dungeons in first person with turn-based combat. Adds an automap and near-free saving.

Why play it now

When you have plenty of evenings ahead and feel like mapping dungeons with a party that grows over three games.

Who it's for

For anyone who misses old-school dungeon crawlers and never tires of levelling up through combat.

When not to pick it

If you hate repeating fights to level up: it takes hours and the start is brutal.

What it offers

  • Exploring: 70 out of 100
  • Thinking: 60 out of 100
  • Managing: 45 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 35 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 30 out of 100
