Original trilogy fail

Loved the og games when I was a kid, so I figured why not have some fun…and I did, right up til the third game
1 and 2 worked great, but when I try to play 3 it went south real fast
First and worst, it won’t let me bring my characters from 1&2 over, and I spent a lot of time building up a strong party
Ok, I can get over that, the will still be fun, right? Wrong
Second, it forces you to use keyboard mode only, no mouse or touch screen options
Alright, annoying but doable if you want to put in the work, just have to get used to looking at an even smaller screen, thankfully the graphics are up to par…oh wait
Third they used a really bad version for the final game, looks like a 1970s 4-bit console game

Play the first 2 for fun if you want, just be prepared for a Soprano-esque ending

Good port

Just like classic bard’s tale

Great Game

I played this back in the 90s. I loved it then and more now.

A little clunky at first

Once you figure it out the game is really pretty good. I keep collecting diaries and I still don’t know if they do anything but for a fun dungeon crawler it’s great.

Don’t waste your time

I hate this game; even on easy mode it’s hard. I play to relax and enjoy. I don’t care about challenges. It’s very difficult to save the game and mobs will often times block you from doing anything. Spells take forever to cast. And you have to use the spells to summon guardians or buffs/heal very frequently. It’s very very annoying and frustrating. The movement button is very buggy and you stop very frequently and will die quite often.
