Dragonheart is based on the 1996 fantasy movie of the same title. The player takes on the role of Bowen, the dragon slayer, as he progresses through eight levels, battling numerous dragons and meeting characters from the film, including Gilbert, Kara, and King Einon. Exploration is shown from a first-person perspective, while combat is displayed in a side-scrolling format. Players can gather details about their current mission by speaking with peasants located in the various villages and homes scattered throughout the game. Combat uses only two buttons—one for attacking and one for defending.
