I played the original bards tale on a apple IIE and it was great. This bring me the nostalgia and in a modern platform story telling way. The turn based combat with the two sides having grids for positioning your party has a nice strategy to it. The abilities have been interesting with limited opportunity for your party each turn and the abilities having specific benefits based on the actions or positioning of the enemies. Great game so far that has not gotten repetitive after a few hours of play, but also I have gotten lost a few times wandering around just like I use to. I feel so far this game offers more.

This is a great game, with amazing ambiance, mind-twisting puzzles and decent difficulty. The combat is very unique and the music is simply amazing. If you own both this version and the Director's Cut version, you are probably better off playing the DC, if in doubt check out this post that compares the two: https://steamcommunity.com/app/566090/discussions/0/4145068512477988102/
