    If you deconstructed Dark Souls into the basic see this attack coming dodge with this attack it still wouldn't be as bare-bones as this game. Too wonky and unfinished to be worth your time and $5.

    A Bastard's Tale is the kind of game you want to like. The level of challenge is very high, and those with an extreme amount of patience will get the most out of it. However, the combat is rough and unfair most of the time, and your lack of agility can make defeat sting much more. It is short and cheap, but unless you're a masochist, you're better off giving passing on this one.

    There is a group of people out there who I am sure will love this game and its punishingly broken mechanics and difficulty, I simply am not one of them.

    A Bastard's Tale is a visually appealing game with nothing to do. Barebones from front to back and a lacking experience, this title is nothing but a tall tale.
