![]() Don't waste your time with the others, this was the best of them. Also, this was by far the best of the Bard's Tale series. Just be aware that it does have some strong flaws. If you like the genre, again, this is one of the best. 's not as bad as it sounds, since you keep your hit pints and spell points when level-drained, so in some case you might actually choose to delberately have your characters drained so they can re-gain those those and become even stronger. Also, be aware that late game monsters have a permanent level drain abvility. Fortunately you can ressurect in battle, so it's not a complete deal breaker, but it is frustrating. No matter how high level you are, no matter how many hit points you have and how much armor.oh, you fight THAT monster? You die, period. And then it kind of fails again towards the end, when you start fighting monsters in with insta-kill abilities. At that point, the game is good and fun for a long time. Unless you're willing to spend days or weeks doing that above routine of letting people die and passing on their stuff.save yourself a bunch of headache by skipping to the second dungeon to get decent gear drops. Next problem, the first entire dungeon is completely horribly difficult and drops terrible gear. You might have to do this a couple times, transferring the stray survivors from party to party to slowly build up to the point that you can keep a party alive into the middle part of the game.

Several dungeons, a town with night and day, a couple interesting puzzles and a four-school magic system that allowed you to progress through various classes to learn all the different spells. If you want a classic first person dungeon crawler, it was among the best. Bard's Tale 1 was a "pretty good but kind of flawed" game. ![]()
