Bard’s Gold Review | Xbox One UK

Published and Developed by Pixel Lantern, Bard's Gold is a slow-paced yet extremely challenging retro-styled 2D platformer, with both rogue-like and RPG elements. That's quite a collection of genres, but do they mesh well?

Bard's Gold knows exactly what it wants to be, and has largely accomplished what it set out to do. Solid platforming action? Check. Rogue-like progression? Check. Light RPG overtones? Check. Really hard? Check.

Entertaining way to spend a few hours? Check.
