About the Game

Ready for an epic—and hilariously irreverent—role-playing adventure? The Bard’s Tale throws you into the boots of a delightfully snarky rogue who’s far more interested in cold, hard cash and, let’s be real, anything else that catches his eye than your typical heroics. Powered by inXile entertainment, this adventure offers a massive 3D world that’s as full of zany characters as it is of monsters, loot, and sarcastic banter. Whether you’re taking on challenging enemies or summoning bizarre allies with magical tunes, there’s rarely a dull moment. Want to play on a bigger screen? BlueStacks makes it pretty easy to take this journey to your desktop.

Game Features

  • A Comedic Hero
    Step into the shoes of the Bard—a rogue whose wit is almost as sharp as his sword. He’s not your classic do-gooder, so expect more laughs than noble deeds.

  • Massive 3D World
    Roam across everything from haunted tombs and tangled forests to snowy peaks and hidden dungeons. Each spot’s packed with odd events and even odder residents.

  • Summon Unique Allies
    Use your magical songs to call forth an oddball lineup of helpers—each with their own powers—whenever the going gets tough (or you’re just feeling lazy).

  • Loads of Enemies and Bosses
    With 50 different enemy types, plus over a dozen wild boss fights, you’ll need to keep your wits (and weapons) sharp.

  • Epic Loot Galore
    More than 150 distinct items to discover—think weapons, armor, artifacts, and some truly odd musical instruments.

  • Full Voice Acting
    Enjoy cheeky dialogue brought to life by top-notch talent, including Cary Elwes and Tony Jay. With 14 hours of voiced lines, you’ll hardly hear the same joke twice.

  • Plenty of Song & Dance
    This is the only role-playing game where you might stumble into a full-on zombie dance-off, among other musical surprises.

  • Classic Trilogy Included
    Nostalgia hit? You also get the original The Bard’s Tale trilogy bundled right in, with the whole retro experience at your fingertips.

  • Handy Autosave and Time-Savers
    Short on time? Autosave helps you take a break when you need, and optional shortcuts are there if you want to speed up your progress (no pressure, though).

  • Controller Support
    Got a favorite gamepad? Odds are it’ll work with The Bard’s Tale, but if you’re on BlueStacks, your keyboard and mouse have you covered too.

  • Multiple Languages
    Play in English or pick from several other languages, making the adventure accessible to even more would-be Bards.

Slay your opponents with your epic moves. Play it your way on BlueStacks and dominate the battlefield.
