The Bard's Tale - They said it couldn’t be done… a full-scale massive 3D epic role-playing game on iOS! See why it’s the BIGGEST iOS game ever made!
You are the Bard, a selfish rogue weary of pointless sub-quests and rat-infested cellars. Through magical song you summon characters to join you in battle-waging attacks, heal your party, and taking damage on your behalf. Ready your weapon as you embark on a quest for coin and cleavage!
Play The Bard’s Tale today on your favorite compatible iOS device. 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
But wait! That’s not all! Enjoy these great new additions in the iOS version:
New Features:
• Leaderboards—for accumulated Silver and Experience!
• Achievements—over 50 spread throughout the game!
• Time-Savers—optional in-app purchases are available to pump up your Bard and save you time! (Note: All such items are attainable through normal game-play, with time and persistence, just as in the original console release.)
• Custom-redesigned user-interface for touch control
Adaptive Rendering:
The Bard’s Tale takes full advantage of your hardware to create the best possible experience--including HD resolution and 60Hz video refresh on capable devices (HD on iPhone 4S and iPad 2, with 60Hz display refresh with in-game “Battery Savings” option turned off). iOS adaptation by Square One Games.
• iPad2: 1024x768 + 3D Effects: environment mapping, dynamic water surfaces, smooth skinning, full shadow cast.

Don’t wait to enjoy this modern, tongue-in-cheek interpretation of the original Bard's Tale (the 1985 grandfather of all role-playing games) by its original producer, Brian Fargo. Here is more of what makes it great:
• Advanced Attitude system: Your snarky or nice decisions change the course of the game—be crass or show some class. Your attitude will affect the events that unfold and create a personalized experience.
• Bustling environments, alive with interactive townsfolk, birds, animals, rustling trees, waving grass and trickling water, that immerse the player deep into the Bard's world.
• Based on the fables of the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland—the inspiration for the classic fantasy worlds. Enjoy the rich textures, music and sounds of these storied lands.
