Dragon Warrior uses console role-playing game mechanics which were described by Kurt Kalata of Gamasutra as archaic in 2008. The player takes the role of a namable Hero. The Hero's name has an effect on his statistical growth over the course of the game. Battles are fought in a turn-based format and experience points and gold are awarded after every battle, allowing the Hero to level-up in ability and allows them to buy better weapons, armor, and items. Progression consists of traveling over an overworld map and through dungeons, fighting monsters encountered via random battles along the journey.

Dragon Warrior... the epic
beginning of a new era in
video games.
Mere finger speed and sweat are no match for
the challenges of this game. You will be

quick sword to defeat your enemies.

captured the Princess and stolen Erdrick's
powerful ball of light.
You are Erdrick's heir. To you has fallen
the most dangerous task — to rescue the King's
daughter and recover the mystic ball of light.
Your mission is deadly, but it is your fate.
Prophets have long foretold your coming.
Three keepers await your journey, each
ready to aid you with a mystic item of
great power.
Gather the three objects. Scribes will record
your deeds. Use cunning and wisdom to
choose your commands. Gain experience,
weapons and an-nor as you battle your way
through the world. Rest if you must.
Search out the Dragon-lord's lair and face
your destiny. In this role-playing adventure
you are the Dragon Warrior!
