Anyone have thoughts or opinions about this game? The game itself, not the iOS port. Thanks.
The problem with doing a combined parody / homage in a game is that you must still make the player go through that which you are parodying. That, to me, is the Bard's Tale's greatest weakness.
My summary would be - if you are looking for a serious role playing experience, look elsewhere; if you are looking for some light fun, Bard's Tale might be for you; and if you have $30 to spend on a game ... find a better game. I'd give the combat and RPG aspects 2.5 stars, the humor and pacing 4 stars, and the overall game 3.5 stars.

Txa, there is some confusion me thinks. The request for info is for the ORIGINAL Bard's Tale. NOT the most recent(6-7 years ago?) parody.
Yeah - I played these (I & III at least) back in the day, not long after they came out. VERY tedious & a lot of grinding.
More detail than I can give on it (since its been 25 years or so for me) is from the CRPG Addict blog:
