Bard's Tale Gameplay on Ubuntu Linux (Native)
8Gameplay of The Bard's Tale on Ubuntu 13.10, with maxed out graphics running at 1920x1080.
In this video I am playing the newly released for Linux Bard's tale! It's also for sale at the time of this video in the Humble Bundle with Android 7.
The porters, Square One Games Inc. did a very good job! Now, you may notice screen tearing in the video, and this might be because I'm recording at a different fps compared to what the game is playing at. During my playing, I honestly didn't notice the tearing.
On clicking play, the game just starts up! It's so blazing fast, I'm shocked. I'm so used to Windows taking a good several minutes to start up any game. Arma Tactics starts just as fast, I'm guessing this is due to a Linux advantage over other OSs.
Note that this is the Steam version of The Bard's Tale.
