Dungeon Lords places you in the role of a hero set out to save the world. After a powerful wizard is cast into oblivion, an evil wizard has started seeking out powerful artifacts that would give him power over everything. It is up to you to find these first. Work your way through dungeons, cities, and wilderness as you fight a wide variety of creatures. Find new equipment, improve your stats and magical powers, and most of all... find those artifacts.

Choose from 7 races and 4 Tier One classes. As you advance, you can gain Tier Two and Tier Three classes to help develop your character even further. Each class can gain skill in all abilities, though some may be harder to obtain. For example, a fighter could train in a weapon skill for relatively few skill points, yet would need many more skill points to train a magic skill.

For magic, there are four kinds of magic: celestial, arcane, nether, and rune. Arcane magic is the standard scrolls and spellbooks form of magic. Celestial magic uses star crystals which each can perform a particular spell and need to recharge after the charges are used up. Nether magic require mixing various katals together to create the spell. These katals can be found throughout the game and include such things and bat wings and rat tails. Rune magic also requires mixing items together to create spells. However, rune magic uses runes rather than katals.

The action in this game is heavier than in most comparable games. There is no such thing as standing around doing nothing while letting your health slowly regenerate. Staying in one spot for any length of time will result in spawning of more enemies that will hunt you down.
