Five centuries after Wein and the heroes of Legendra put down the last great evil to threaten the continent, something recognizable is returning. The dark knights have come back. Eight new rulers now govern Legendra's kingdoms, and each can read the warning signs well enough to know what is building. The player chooses one of the eight and spends the game consolidating alliances with the remaining seven — repeating the essential structure of the original Dragon Force, with a new cast driving the familiar logic toward another decisive confrontation.
