The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep gets a new combat trailer

It's been just over a month since the first video spotlight for The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep, which saw a quick overview of the game's character creation system. In this update, the video goes over the basics of the game's first-person turn-based combat. 

The video goes over certain things like positioning, channeling abilities, and first strike attacks. The whole game takes place in first-person and combat is no different. While battles can be avoided by carefully sneaking past enemies in the dungeon, running into foes will initiate combat. Take a look at the video below:

Here's a little bit about the game from InXile:

This newest look at the game provides a thorough overview of its dynamic turn-based combat. Tactical positioning can spell the difference between winning and losing in The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep. Every adventurer is equipped with active and passive abilities, making each a vital part of your band of warriors. You can use unique skills that synergize to create devastating combos: for example, Bards can sing songs to make enemies more susceptible to damage. Charged attacks offer another effective means to finish off enemies, but watch out, because they can be interrupted by foes with similar attacks. And that's just the beginning! As you travel through Caith, you'll discover new enemy types, offering uniquely different challenges that require new tactics. There are countless ways to turn defeat into victory depending on how you approach each situation.

The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep releases on September 18 for PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4.
