It’s all about finding the balance, position and perfect attack opportunities that will separate the true bard from the village drunk who is found singing a few songs in the loo. But for the turn-based strategists amongst you, there is a wealth of diverse complex plans to work out and implement, dealing with buffs, healing options, spells, and attacks with swords and arrows. You get several turns to action your combat, before things switch to your foes, and that’s pretty much as simple as it gets. You can move your players around to get the best position for combat, but that will use a turn, and is no good if you are attempting to surprise your enemies and charge at them. The combat in The Bard’s Tale IV takes your whole party and puts you onto a kind of turn-based chessboard. You get lead to the guild by a nice Scottish chap called Rabbie who you journey with, and this gives a bit of an insight into how The Bard’s Tale IV will play out, via a sort of tutorial. You play as a bard who starts the game in the city of Skara Brae your typical RPG town that is all oldy worldy and full of merchants, thieves, murderers and a guild of adventurers. The Bard’s Tale IV is a dungeon crawling first-person RPG that comes with a lot of turn-based complex combat that will keep the die-hard fans happy. Now though we have the next in the series – coming about via crowdfunding – and the big question is whether it can keep the essence and gameplay of the originals, but still stand up on its own as a fully refreshed game for the new generation of dungeon crawlers. It spawned a couple of sequels and most recently we have had the chance to play all three remastered games on Xbox One with The Bard’s Tale Trilogy.
