Dragon Valor is a hack-and-slash medieval action game with some light RPG and puzzle-solving touches. You control a series of generations of Dragon Valors, who are the wielders of the Dragon Valor sword, the only weapon that can kill the evil dragons plaguing your land.
You'll progress through a plot that spans several generations, where you'll have to rid the land of dragons as a character, and then take on the role of his descendant whose skills depend on the actions and power-up items from the earlier generation.
The game features two different endings, as well as a character gallery as a bonus for finishing the game.

Ere days of old, fearsome monsters, dragons, have menaced the human race. And throughout the ages, one family has upheld the duty of destroying these beasts. They are the Dragon Valors, and an eternal war wages betwixt the two.
Even in the quiet mountain village of Brize, the ancient feud continued. The young Clovis was dragged into the battle between Dragon Valors and Dragons when his little sister Elena became a victim. His loss plunged him into hopeless despair.
Yet from the ashes of his despair, the young Clovis was reborn with a burning desire to avenge the loss of his sister and fulfill his destiny.
