    The Bard’s Tale is a low-grade action-RPG that must have spent all its skill points in voice acting and writing. Featuring Cary Elwes of The Prince Bride fame, and following a script that truly puts the snark in Resnarkled, The Bard’s Tale could talk its way out of any confrontation. Sadly, sub-par, boring combat, and a restrictive summoning system mean you’ll be rolling ability checks with a negative modifier. If only The Bard’s Tale was more proficient—should’ve chosen a wizard or a rogue.

    I've loved this iteration of The Bard's Tale for years, and it's great to see it come to a platform I actively use. The Switch is perfect forI've loved this iteration of The Bard's Tale for years, and it's great to see it come to a platform I actively use. The Switch is perfect for this game, and you can really feel it. It's best in handheld, of course, though it actually looks surprisingly good in docked mode as well. There are so many hours of hilarious fun packed into this game, though the $30 AUD price tag was a bit steep. The controls work like a dream, and it runs smoothly with no bugs encountered so far. I'd love to see another ARPG sequel to this game, but it wouldn't be the same without Tony Jay. If you're thinking about getting this game, either get it now and enjoy your time with it, or wait for a sale to come around. Either way, I don't think you'll regret it.… Expand
