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.
