The quest explores areas similar to the main storyline from ''Dragon Quest.'' The main quest goals are saving Princess Laura and defeating the evil King Dragon, all while using the ''Sword of Roto''.


The quest is broken into eight chapters that take you throughout all of the locations in Alefgard, many being the same as in ''Dragon Quest''. Eventually, the hero will put together the same [[Rainbow Bridge]] as in ''Dragon Quest'', before he makes his way into the final castle, where he faces off against King Dragon. The game includes a few mini-games, including a ''Slime Crisis'' game that would later be seen in ''[[Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors]]''.
