Bard's Gold

Bard's Gold is an awesome 2d Metroidvania leaning rogue-lite game (More Castlevaniaish than Metroid). Took me 5-6 hours to beat and 10 hours to 100% achievements. Used a game controller to play. Difficulty is medium-hard with some parts being unfair. This game is really fun. Really really really fun. It looks simplistic on the outside but inside its gamy guts there's a lot to offer. Lots of enemies and traps, mildly unfair level designs that'll keep you on your toes, different weapons to buy, and everything is crawling with secret bits to find. When you lose a life, the level might pull a switch on you and leave you figuring out a new method to get to the door. The achievements are all doable with patience. And there are different modes to play, too! If you're looking for a 2d 'find the key, get to the door, die a few dozen times and curse at bats and spikes' game, Bard's Gold is where it's at. This is the sort of romp where you suck royally sorts of bad at the beginning then eventually get good and feel the success of a hard win. No fluff or useless junk, and everything is easy to figure out with enough playing. 101 ways to die, the Rogue Troubadour version. There are three things that bugged me: 1. The axe was a little too slow and leaves you at a disadvantage. Fun for challenge runs, less so for a straight play-through. 2. There is no way to pause between deaths on the last boss. He's hard and when you have 10 lives and have to repeat the whole battle over and over again you'll need room for a eye break. Everywhere else in the game you can pause it, but not for Lasty McBlastinface the fourth over there. 3. ... Was there a third? I got distracted by the nickname on the last complaint. Ffff.... Oh well. Maybe the first three bosses were easy. Or there wasn't enough toast. Make something up here. So yeah! 2d Metroidvania with rogue-lite elements on the levels. Very very fun. Lots of knives and slimey things. If you like this sort of candy, go get this game. Worth it. Promise.

Jogo muito bom! Jogabilidade boa, gráficos bons, música boa! Para quem gosta de jogos de plataforma lateral no estilo 16 bits, esse jogo é um prato cheio. Toda vez que você perde, você vai para um menu onde pode dar upgrades nos itens do seu personagem, o que te anima a estar sempre jogando. Em alguns momentos esse game me lembrou o clássico "Ghost House" de Master System, devido aos botões de armadilha que você pisa no chão e vem uma flecha em sua direção. Recomendadíssimo!

Petit rogue like sans grande prétention. Fait son taf. Je recommande.

cool

a nice little game for what it was, it was not as big as something like rouge legacy or alike in terms of the die spend gold to get stronger do a another run system, but for how long it is vs the price its a nice little game that's worth a look at

Il me semble que les musiques sont trop discrètes. Je me suis bien amusé, j'y retournerai car on s'améliore à chaque fois. Je regrette qu'il n'y a pas de traduction en français. Dommage qu'on ne puisse pas personnalisé ou avoir un personnage féminin. Les graphismes sont fades et peu variés. Le jeu est très punitif et dur, il faut insister de nombreuses heures, répéter, augmenter les pouvoirs de son Bard. Je le déconseille finalement après l'avoir dans un premier temps conseillé, pour le coté rétro, mais en fait non, le fait que les graphismes jusqu'à la fin du jeu soient aussi peu variés, je trouve cela bâclé.

Didn't notice any kind of hook during my first couple of playthroughs. I think a couple more and I'd have gone quite a bit deeper but honestly can't say I'm interested enough to when I have many other roguelikes to try.

Lo pusieron en una oferta por 25 céntimos, y, como me atraía el estilo de juego, y los diseños gráficos, dije, bueno, pues vamos a probar. Si bien es cierto que el juego no es tal y como lo esperaba, me he llevado una agradable sorpresa. De momento llevo casi 4 horas de juego, y todavía me queda bastante para completar el juego. Básicamente, tienes que jugar una y otra vez, mientras consigues mejoras, y dinero para aplicarlas. En cuanto a los enemigos finales (hasta ahora me he enfrentado a 3), pues puede que la primera y segunda vez te cuesten un poquito, pero en cuanto aprendes la forma de actuar que tienen, te das cuenta de que es bastante sencillo. Dejo en spoiler un pequeño consejo (sobre todo contra los jefes): [spoiler] Por muy atractivas que parezcan las armas, sin duda, la mejor opción para luchar contra los jefes, es el triple daga, al menos para los dos primeros. El tercero, creo que sería más fácil con el chakra.[/spoiler] En fin, lo recomiendo totalmente.
