Description
A self-proclaimed "quest for coin and cleavage", The Bard's Tale is more of a whimsical take on role playing games than a remake of the classic series. Following the exploits of The Bard (voiced by Cary Elwes), this single player game adds humor to the traditional sword & sorcery mix. As The Bard, players can fight off hordes of foes with blade and bow and summon companions through magical Bard Songs. The Bard's Tale uses the Dark Alliance engine and has a similar camera and control scheme.

Trivia
When you meet the crazy butcher he will call you several different names. One of them is Garrett. Could this be a nod towards the hero of the Thief series?
