Gameplay-wise, Dragon Knight is a dungeon crawler typical for its era (similar to that of early Wizardry games).

In the kingdom of Strawberry Fields (ストロベリーフィールズ), a place inhabited only by women, the Goddess' Tower has protected the land and its people for generations.

Then one day, the monstrous Dragon Knights, corrupted by evil and led by the demon Gazelbaan (ゲイゼルバーン), descended upon the tower, and the people of Strawberry Fields suddenly find themselves threatened by his army of monsters, who have turned the goddess Aquarina (アクァーリナー) to stone and captured the warrior women, demanding the six gems that are a source of magical power of the goddess to be delivered to them or else they would kill their hostages.

The 1995 remake Dragon Knight & Graffiti for the PC Engine was developed and released by NEC Avenue.

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the PC Engine remake a 22 out of 40,[4] also giving it an 8 out of 10 in their Reader Cross Review.
