The Bard’s Tale (2004) Available on PS4 and PSVita

While there’s no denying that InXile’s comedic action-RPG take on the long-standing Bard’s Tale series is a stark departure from the previous dungeon-crawling titles, I still had some fun with The Bard’s Tale back when it came out. And if you own a PlayStation 4 or a PSVita, you can now experience the rowdy Bard’s adventure too, after purchasing it from the PlayStation Store for $9.99.

Here’s the feature list so you know what you’ll be getting into:

You are the Bard: a selfish rogue weary of pointless sub-quests and rat-infested cellars. Through magical song you summon characters to join your quest for coin and cleavage!

Prepare to immerse yourself in over 20-30 hours of adventure: featuring:

  • 50 enemy types (not counting bosses!)
  • A vast world to explore with towns: wild forests: rivers: castles: towers: secret dungeons: snowy mountains: caverns: haunted tombs and more
  • A full cast of bizarre NPC’s
  • Over a dozen special boss enemies to defeat
  • 16 magical characters to discover and then summon at will to aid you
  • Over 150 unique items of weaponry: armor: instruments: tokens: artifacts and loot!
  • More Song & Dance numbers than any other game: including a zombie dance-off!
  • Over 14 hours of outstanding voice-acting from top Hollywood talent: including Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) as the Bard: and the inimitable Tony Jay as the Narrator
