==Gameplay==
:For further details, see Quest (King's Knight).
A mission-based scrolling shooter with customizable units, Wrath of the Dark Dragon had players automatically progress forward through each area while avoiding projectiles and destroying environmental barriers and enemies. Some missions had traps and floor panels that provided varying advantages and disadvantages. The game also featured a multiplayer mode that was playable by up to four players.
Scores for each playable zone were based on the scale of destruction wrought throughout the zone, with bonuses awarded for objectives such as defeating all enemies in the zone or not taking damage. Further, each playable zone had three target scores and three collectible medals; meeting the targets would reward the player with in-game currency and other items.
==Story==
The story takes place in the kingdom of Izander, where the evil dragon Tolfidan has kidnapped Princess Claire of Olthea. Four chosen heroes set forth to attack Gargatua Castle and rescue the princess.
==Characters==
*Ray Jack , the Warrior - One of the heroes blessed by Khalam. Ray Jack was leading a quiet life as a farmer's son in the rural countryside. However, after receiving the blessing of Khalam, the patron deity of Olthea, he would embark on a quest to save Olthea's Princess Claire—a quest that would elevate him into the realm of legend.
*Kaliva , the Wizard - One of the heroes blessed by Khalam, Kaliva was once a wizard of unmatched brilliance, but after failing to save a close friend during the Great War, he withdrew into a life of seclusion. He would only come back out into the world after receiving the blessing of Khalam, whereupon he resolved to once again battle for peace.
*Barusa , the Gigant - One of the heroes blessed by Khalam. After being banished by his people, Barusa was rescued by Princess Claire and granted sanctuary in the Olthean palace by her father, King Rex. Barusa was haunted by his inaction when Princess Claire was abducted by Tolfidan, but after receiving Khalam's blessing, he vowed to battle Tolfidan and bring the princess back safely.
*Toby , the Thief - One of the heroes blessed by Khalam. A thief of exceptional skill, Toby received Khalam's blessing while seeking to catch a glimpse of an abducted princess that, according to rumor, had "eyes more beautiful than gemstones."
