What players say
Players are split on The Bard's Tale IV. Fans praise the celtic folk music, tactical grid-based combat, and challenging puzzles, while critics report crashes, illegible fonts, and poor performance that persisted past launch. Many note the Director's Cut replaced this version, and Kickstarter backers express disappointment with the state of the game.
