The premise of the story is fairly straight forward: a group of heroes [[Dungeon Crawling|must venture into a labyrinth]], uncovering treasures and strengthening themselves as they look for the [[MacGuffin|Dragon's Crown]], an item that could spell doom for the world in the wrong hands.

The gameplay is reminiscent of games like ''[[Gauntlet]]'', ''[[Golden Axe]]'', and ''[[The King of Dragons]]''. Players can customize their characters and equip weapons and other items found in their sessions in the labyrinth. Up to four players can play the cooperatively, or the game can be played solo with three CPU-controlled characters. Playable characters include:

* Amazon: They wield two-handed weapons that deal high damage and they're quite nimble on their feet, but they're quite fragile and slow to attack.

* The trailer also depicts Knight and Thief classes as well, but since they are not seen engaging in combat it is unknown if they provide anything more than a supplemental role.

Lead designer George Kamitani came up with the idea for the game right after his work on ''[[Princess Crown]]'' in 1997, on the [[Sega Saturn]]. It was planned as a [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Shadow Over Mystara|Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom]]''. For better or worse Kamitani had difficulties getting a publisher to greenlight the project and it wasn't until finishing ''[[Muramasa ~~the~~ Demon Blade]]'', when he reworked the project plan, that Ignition Entertainment agreed to sign on with the game.
