At the outset of the game, the player can select one of eight nations led by varying monarchs cohabiting the continent of Legendra. Between battles, the victor can allocate awards to generals and recruit captive soldiers into the conquering army. Taking advantage of the Saturn hardware, Dragon Force boasted on-screen battles of up to 200 soldiers interacting in real time.
In 2005, the PlayStation 2 port became the 17th installment in the Sega Ages 2500 series. The "Selections from Dragon Force" EP, featuring music from the game by Tatsuyuki Maeda, is streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited. Vocals are performed by Shiori Fujita.
