Plus it regenerates very fast, so you can wreak as much fiery havoc as your throwing shoulder will allow. It’s not very powerful, but it’s fun and intuitive to throw around. In the beginning, you’ll only have the fire spell, but it’s a pretty good place to start.
#THE BARDS TALE 4REVIEW HOW TO#
He’ll show you how to pull up your spell tree and how to use them. This is where your real journey begins: you and the snarky flying elf are left to fight your way through the cave in search for your wizard mentor.Ĭrux still doesn’t like you, but he does give you some helpful tips to get started. Badly wounded, the good wizard does his best Gandalf and breathlessly tells you to “run, child” just before the bad wizard flies off with your master over his shoulder. The good wizard fights him off admirably, but he eventually decides to use his shield to save you and the flying elf thing, which leaves him vulnerable.
Sure enough, evil wizard Gaufroi comes flying in and tries to kill all three of you. So, of course, that means he’ll be your guide through the eight to ten hours it will take you to finish the game. This strange guy doesn’t like you very much, and he makes that clear from the first scene. The opening cutscene introduces yourself, your master Mage Alguin (who looks like a cross between Doc Brown and Gandalf), and some flying creature called Crux. But that’s the idea, you’re only an apprentice, after all. With that out of the way, the story goes a little something like this: you play as an apprentice to your master, Mage Alguin. It worked most of the time, but occasionally the spear would just fall out of my hand and crash at my feet. The much-maligned PSVR tracking works great as far as moving around and casting most spells, but I did have some trouble throwing my Ice Spear spell. With the system we have in place, this is as good as it gets, and for me, it works great. That may all sound confusing, but it really isn’t. I love when they give me the option to do this without switching the control scheme because I inevitably get stuck behind a rock and need to teleport to safety. You can also teleport with the right Move controller from this mode as well. You can play the whole game only using the larger Move button in the center, but this slower option is a nice touch, that I ended using a lot. Similarly, pressing the X button will move you backward at this slightly slower speed.
If you press the circle button instead of the Move button, that will also move your character but in a more controlled and slower “walking” pace. You point the left Move controller in the direction you want to move and hold down the Move button.

The free movement is handled very much like Skyrim VR. From there, select Free movement and Free turn. But for everyone else, do as any VR veteran will tell you and click on the options tab. For those with wobbly stomachs, try that setting first. It uses teleportation and click turning as default settings. DualShock 4 controllers are not supported on this adventure. You’ll need the PSVR headset and a set of Move controllers. This is a VR game, so before I get to the story, I’ll need to take care of some business. And maybe, more importantly, will this review overcome these weird and inappropriate innuendo’s? Keep reading to find out. Does this little VR dungeon crawler rise to the occasion? Or does it wilt and fall limp. Obviously, that is a lot of hype to live up to, and I hate to get my hopes up. Additionally, The Mage’s Tale is from the same universe as it’s more famous sibling and for fans of The Bard’s Tale, that’s pretty cool.
If you don’t know, this is the same team that brought us The Bard’s Tale, and if you don’t know what that is, ask your dad or big brother.

It took a little longer than initially promised, but InXile has finally brought their PC VR dungeon crawler to Sony’s scrappy little VR rig.
