Comments on The Bard's Tale for Android

★★★★★ Trucker John · Feb 11, 2026
Love the game! It's funny, witty, fantastic voice acting, and a lot of fun.
★★★★★ Peter T. · Jun 29, 2025
Played this awesome game when it came out, but now I have an issue: it is far too big for my current phone, but I only want to play the original trilogy from the bundle. Is there a workaround for that?
★☆☆☆☆ Grady Shields · Dec 8, 2025
It was great, but now there's a bug where you can't even get to the title screen. The game is locking up right at the Inxile Entertainment screen. Please fix this soon because this is one of the best games I've ever played.
★☆☆☆☆ David C · Jan 10, 2026
Can't purchase available upgrades from the menu, the training packages, the weapons... can't purchase any of it.
★☆☆☆☆ noname x · Sep 14, 2025
Game is Stuck on the Logo Screen. Reinstalled and tried both graphics options both times. When you pay for a game it should work... If it doesn't, it's a scam.
