![]() The summoning pet system plays a huge role here as well. As dull as it sounds, there are battles where you will have to move around and prioritize your targets in order to survive. You have three things to worry about, moving, bashing and blocking. One quest leads to another and eventually you find yourself recruited by a cult to rescue the princess Caleigh. She gives him a quest to exterminate all the rats in her cellar, without mentioning one tiny little detail… And that’s where it all starts. The rat runs inside and our hero boldly enters to rescue Mary in exchange for some food. ![]() In order to get some food he uses his musical powers to summon a rat in front of “The Drunken Rat” public house, owned by the widow Mary MacRary. Our beloved protagonist, the nameless bard, a selfish rogue whose sole purpose is to get more coins by (almost) any means necessary, arrives at the city of Houton, completely broke and hungry. I am mentioning this because as of recently, you get all those games included in the package when you purchase The Bard’s Tale from the play store. This game however is neither a remake nor a sequel to the original trilogy. Older gamers may recall the existence of even older Bard’s Tale game from 1985 and its sequels which were released as The Bard’s Tale Trilogy in 1990 for PC DOS, developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts. The Bard’s Tale debuted in the late 2004 for the PS2, then it was released for Xbox and Windows in 2005, got re-released for Steam by the end of 2009, iPhone fans got their port in 2011 and finally in 2012 we get to play it on the Android platform. So let’s see if it’s worth your time and money. It offers roughly 30 hours of gameplay and a big world to explore. ![]() But wait, its not about the space occupied, The Bard’s Tale is a full blown action (semi) role-playing game. How big? Three point five gigabytes big if you decide to download the HD version. Sometimes I like playing quick repetitive small games while riding the train to work, but now, now we are talking big.
