Dragon Force is set in the fantasy land of Legendra which has been taken over by the evil Madruk. Legendra's only hope rests on the shoulders of one of eight warlords. You must choose one of those eight to play as and unite an army in order to overthrow Madruk's reign. There are multiple endings in Dragon Force as each one of the eight characters has their own storyline. Battles take place in real time and can consist of up to 200 warriors battling onscreen at once. While attacking and capturing enemy land and castles, you must also defend your own lands from enemy invaders. Armies can be made up of such warriors as archers, dragons, zombies, or samurai. Each army has a general who is capable of using magic during battles.
