Cutter the blue-haired ex-Commander of the Darrc Forces, who seeks his title back.
Aisha the blonde-haired amazon, who wishes to destroy the evil forces destroying her jungle home.
Gouranga the orc who has been exiled by his evil-serving brethren.

Gameplay

You can choose to play between four different characters, each with their own stats.
Each character has their own strengths, weaknesses, and attack styles.

There was to be 10 levels.
In the works was a two-player co-op mode, as well as deathmatch arena multiplayer.

Development

Dragon Sword started off as Dragon Storm in 1996 before being renamed.

Cancellation

MGM Interactive, the publisher, cancelled the game for being likely unprofitable.
The game had already been reviewed by 64 Magazine just prior to its cancellation.

In early 2019 Piko Interactive acquired the rights to the game along with the source code.
The game could finally be released after all this time.
