About Bard's Gold
Chase a goblin thief through eerie, randomly-generated dungeons in this brutally challenging retro platformer where one hit means death and every gem you collect makes you stronger for the next attempt. Inspired by 90s classics like Rainbow Island and Rick Dangerous, Bard's Gold demands skill and perseverance as you solve intricate puzzles, dodge relentless traps, and face towering bosses to reclaim your family's stolen treasure.
This game takes inspiration from early 90's platforming classics such as Rainbow Island, Rick Dangerous, Alex Kidd and Erik, which at the time were popular on the Amiga and consoles. Bard's Gold is slower paced than most current day platformers, but is extemely challenging. Players need to avoid enemies, traps and projectiles in order to progress. Being hit by any of them means instant death. Difficult puzzles and towering bosses will have to be overcome to reach the filthy goblin that stole the family treasure.
Key Features
- Old school platforming experience - No tutorials or explanations how things should be done. Everything including the basic game mechanics must be figured out by yourself as you go.
- Rogue-lite - Different layouts for each level is randomly chosen every playthrough. While getting the chance to memorize levels and get better at them, the "random level" system will keep your interest. With the gems you collect you will be able to upgrade your character on the Game Over screen. These upgrades are permanent and will help you on future playthroughs.
- Extremely challenging, yet rewarding gameplay

Lore
While I was adventuring, I got my saddle containing the legendary Bard's Gold stolen by a filthy goblin.
It has been my Family Treasure for generations...
I had to get it back at all costs! Giving chase to the burglar, I went through a portal that sent me to this strange world...
I must escape and return the Bard's Gold to where it belongs!

Goblin fled with gold One touch means an instant fall Old-school feet stay true
I actually enjoyed this game more than I thought I would. It is kinda fun, but I could see it getting repetitive in the long run. I would say probably buy this game while its on sale, but normal price isn't the worst.
I always suggest games by how much content you're getting for the price. And for the price this game it's great. Fun, challenging the entire time you're trying to level up. My only gripe with the game are the controls feel a little stiff but other than that I'd suggest grabbing it. If you find it on sale definitely get it!
It's alright.
Too basic and boring for me.
