As another example, the first game required you to keep a special slot open for summoned monsters whereas the second and third games allowed you to have seven created party members at a time instead of just six. For example, all three games now have an auto-mapping feature where previously only the third had one. Secondly, the game itself is an attempt to harmonize features across all three games instead of the incremental addition of features that you saw from first game to second and third. Although there is, in my opinion, quite a poignant story in the third game. The first two games in particular are straight hack and slash, with not a lot in the way of story. And being a dungeon crawler, it does not have the joinable companions with backstories and the complex stories and morally complex choices that games of the new millenium constantly strive for. That is to say, it is a first-person dungeon crawler that will reward endless grinding for those who have the patience for it. There are some things worth noting about the Remastered version of the trilogy.įor starters, it still plays very much like the games of the early history of crpgs.

It is now available on either GOG or Steam. The Bard's Tale Trilogy Remastered is a remake of the classics by Krome Studios that was initially available as a stretch goal for those who contributed to the crowd-funding of Bard's Tale 4.

Although fans of the series would argue that its contribution to the development of crpgs over time has been just as important, and they were just as fun to play as other more famous series. The original Bard's Tale trilogy, released within the same time period, is often overlooked.
