The game takes place in the fictional city of Skara Brae, which is overrun by monsters and under the control of the evil wizard Mangar the Dark. Your goal as the player is to assemble a party of adventurers to defeat Mangar and save the city. The Bard's Tale was a first-person, turn-based dungeon crawler where players explored dungeons, recruited adventurers, and engaged in combat.
