Bard Harder!

OMG IT'S SO CUTE

This game is very cute and has awesome story-telling. My only wish is that it was longer; perhaps there will be a sequel in the future? Who knows. This game is worth the money and is very fun to play! :)

This is a pretty cute game. I think that's the best word to describe this. If you're expecting deep complex characters, this isn't it, but it was charming and funny enough that I had a smile on my face for (most) of the time. One in game achievement (there aren't any Steam ones but there are internal ones) kind of got me bummed but it should've. To be honest, I kind of want to see and do more in this quaint setting, but for a 2 dollar game (as I write this) not on sale, I'd say its worth the price of admission for what it is. If they made a sequel or some other sort of continuation (Bard Harder: Dragon my Heart Around?) I'd get it. There's only two flaws I can find in this game. One is just its kind of hard to actually intentionally get a "Game Over" screen. You'd have to frick it up on purpose to do so. It's supposed to be the final boss, it shouldn't be too easy to win, but it is. Game telegraphs it in plenty of time for you to take it in, digest it, and then when it gives you choices its not too hard to put two and two and get four. Second issue is directly related to the first: I'm surprised the in game achievements didn't have one for intentionally bombing. It just feels odd, that there's something you can entirely do, and you could go out of your way to do, but there's not really any incentive to do so. I'm also not sure if its intentional, but I got some very strange flashbacks to the ending of the Phantom of the Opera novel. If you read the book, you know what specific things I'm referring to. About 50% of the same warm fuzzies, 100% less of the tragic heartbreak. Make of it what you will.
