You and Rygar, the legendary warrior of Argool, must defeat the evil king and his army of dangerous beasts. With powers and weapons from the Indora war gods, you go into battle with Rygar. It's up to you! The enemies are strong, the terrain treacherous, and the challenges difficult. The sun is setting and Rygar is depending on you. Rygar's exploits were once confined to arcades, but now he is battling the forces of evil everywhere. Join forces with Rygar!

This version of Rygar is quite different from the arcade original and its ports, though it shares the same basic story: a legendary warrior rises from the grave in order to defeat the forces of evil in the land of Argool. Rather than being a linear arcade-style game, this version emphasizes exploration and allows the player to re-visit locations with special items that may open previously inaccessible locations.

The game contains a light RPG element in form of permanent power-ups which increase the main character's performance in combat. It also offers multiple viewpoints: the action-oriented stages are viewed from a side-scrolling perspective, but when travelling between zones the game takes on an overhead view that can also lead to combat situations.
