As with usual fantasy fare, a great battle took place long ago in Dragon Marked for Death. This one was between celestials and dragons, with the celestials coming out on top and ruling the land as arrogant, tyrants. The game centers around four characters who make a deal with the fallen dragon Atruum to gain power and get revenge on their destroyed kingdom. Each character has unique abilities to help navigate the maps and to help one another.

Empress is a fast, projectile spewing hero with the dragon scar – a large dragon head – on her arm. This allows her to make range attacks as well as transform her arm into a huge blade. While in the air, she can also stretch it to act as a grappling hook.

Warrior is the tank and healer of the game. He can utilize the dragon head within his chest to create a defensive barrier to heal and protect allies.

Shinobi is the speediest of the heroes with dragon legs and wings. She can utilize a variety of dashes, wall kicks and jumps, and glides through the air.

Witch is the final member, wearing the dragon scar as an enormous and ridiculous hat. She is the magic blaster of the party, able to dish out AoE attacks, create platforms, cast light spells, and even heal.
