The Bard's Tale IV reaches Kickstarter target

The Bard's Tale IV

It was never in any doubt, but inXile's The Bard's Tale IV has reached its Kickstarter target—although it took a little longer than some may have expected. Nearly two weeks is rather a long time for a nostalgia-tugging classic RPG Kickstarter to bring in the mega-bucks, but then The Bard's Tale is hardly the best known of Ye Olde RPGs. Regardless, TBTIV is now assuredly going to be a thing.

His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
