Excelente jogo de RPG, diversão garantida para quem gosta do gênero de combate em turnos com seleção de habilidades.

Feels like an old game with high production value but the old school design choices and lack of Qol features hold it back

A flawed masterpiece. There's so much to love here and it's very, very obvious that it was created with a LOT of love. It makes me sad that only about 25% of the players have made it past the first boss, there's so, so much more after that. So much beautiful art and so much beautiful music that it's a shame that more people haven't seen it. However, this game has it's issues. It is an INCREDIBLY slow burn. The story really doesn't get going until quite a while in. It's a dungeon crawler at it's heart and feels very much like the slog that the original Bard's Tale games were. Also, I have to ding it a bit for the combat. I dislike games that give you a bazillion options in your skill tree, but then only allow you to utilize a slight handful. It kills experimenting and flexibility. I found a working combination and pretty much stayed with it for almost the entire game. I'm also a fan of open world-type games, but the level size on this is insane. It felt like it would take forever to get to the next waypoint for the story. 90 hours in and I still skipped a couple of optional quests. So, to sum up. Awesome artwork, decent story line (specially if you're familiar with the series), amazing music, and some very nice voice work. But, long sloggy levels, and mediocre combat. My recommendation, give it a whirl, but stick with it a bit. Make it past Mangar before you give up at least.

Firmly "okay". Weirdly, the standard edition was much more to my liking. While the Director's Cut improved a handful of things, the standard edition had far more combat challenge potential at higher difficulties. The Director's Cut also seems to have cut a number of plot delivery points and chatter among the party NPCs, which is baffling to have done. Or maybe they just broke them. This version is also WILDLY more unstable than the original. I had to save every fight and every time I zoned in this version or risk losing all my progress. Just grab the standard edition, it's better.

Bounced right off. Game feels clunky and the performance is abysmal. The opening moments weren't good, and I'm not sure if it would get better; I'm not risking my freetime on that hope.

good

The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut is a rich and engaging RPG that perfectly blends classic dungeon-crawling with modern presentation. The world is beautifully crafted, the puzzles are clever, and the turn-based combat feels both strategic and satisfying. A fantastic experience for anyone who loves traditional, story-driven role-playing games.

Świetne mechaniki. Przeciętna fabuła. Przyjemne zagadki. Pomimo, że walki są ciekawe, po 60 godzinach zaczynają być nużące.
