Many years ago, four brave warriors have reclaimed the magical Drakkhen tears for humanity, liberating it from the yoke of powerful dragons. Alex, a descendant of one of those heroes, enjoys a peaceful life in the town of Rysis ans is about to marry his sweetheart Katarina. However, a mysterious wizard interferes and kidnaps the young woman. Alex embarks on a quest to locate and defeat him, unraveling an even more nefarious scheme in the process.
Dragon View , released on Super Nintendo in 1994, is an action role-playing game that follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, Drakkhen . The game features a 3D overworld navigated from a first-person perspective, while towns and dungeons are presented as side-scrolling areas. As Alex journeys through the world, he can jump and fight enemies appearing in the dungeons using a sword or other weapons he can later acquire. Experience points are awarded for vanquishing enemies, and Alex's strength and defense parameters increase when leveling up. Additionally, finding specific items increases his HP and magic points, as well as allowing him to acquire magical rings and weapon upgrades.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this fantasy role-playing game, players assume the role of a novice warrior whose peaceful life on Keire Island is shattered when his love, Katarina, is abducted by forces of the Underworld. To rescue her and restore the cosmic balance maintained by the legendary Prime Orb, players must embark on a perilous quest armed with basic magic, an apprentice's sword, and a mysterious heirloom pendant. Along the journey, players will leave their comfortable home behind to confront the dark, demonic challenges of the Underworld.
Story
The Prime Orb
The universe is a constant maelstrom of good and evil, the two equal but opposite forces that balances the nature of all things. This fragile balance is held in check by the powerful Prime Orb, which is kept on the Island of Keire. The Prime Orb acts as a scale that constantly monitors the ebb and flow of the tides of good and evil.
Legends say that long ago, the Prime Orb was forged by omnipotent beings who dwelt on a different dimensional plane from mortal man's. To some people, the ancient creators of the Prime Orb are known as Dragons, to others, they are worshipped as gods. The Dragons created the Prime Orb to maintain equilibrium in the human world, for somehow the Dragon dimension and the human's dimension were inextricably linked by a common thread.
For countless eons, the Prime Orb has tirelessly balanced the flow of good and evil, maintaining the harmony of the human dimension and Dragon dimension. Suddenly, somehow, this balance has been disrupted...
Your Story
You aspire to be a great warrior like your mentor, Master Qunos. Ever since he found you as an orphaned baby, Master Qunos and his assistant, Damme, have trained you in the ways of weaponry, magic, and strategy. While your proficiency grows with every new lesson, you are still a novice in the arts of combat.
You look forward to the day when you can honorably protect the weak and defend the innocent, but right now, you are content to be a pupil of the great Master Qunos, live in the pleasant small town of Rysis on Keire Island, and spend your free time with Katarina, Master Qunos' grand-daughter. Yes, life is good, until...
Recently, disturbing rumors of demons and their terrible deeds have been filtering through to your village. Personally, you have not been affected by these stories, but that changes when Argos, a mercenary serving the Underworld, abducts Katarina. Katarina holds the key to what the Underworld desires most.
For reasons unknown, the dark forces of the Underworld require Katarina for their arcane activity. You are now forced to journey on a quest to find your lost love. Armed with only your apprentice's sword, rudimentary magic, and the mysterious pendant that you have possessed ever since you can remember, you must leave the familiar comforts of your home and confront the challenges of the Underworld.
