Gameplay
Dungeon Hero featured strategic hack-and-slash gameplay with role-playing game (RPG) elements. The game took place in a retro-modern world during a massive war. Most of the game took place above ground fighting for the goblin cause. The beginning of the game was placed in one of the goblin's fortified locations, or dungeon, where a goblin hospital has been set up. The task of the player was to help the goblins win their war in exchange for your freedom.
Plot
The player is a Mercenary and has come across a goblin city, looking for treasure. However, the goblin city is under attack and the goblins hire the mercenary to help them. As the mercenary, you must help the goblins defend their home from hordes of enemies.
