As the descendants of the mysterious Questocrat, the player and their two siblings fought alongside a great hero against the Dark Lord of the Stars. The Dark Lord handily defeated them, sending them crashing onto Cyril's homeworld, where they awaken robbed of their memories as well as their possessions on a beach near the First Town. Only the Questocrat's book remains. With the aid of Cyril and his slime pal Gregooey, the player must uncover the secret of the tome and embark on their journey to vanquish evil across the galaxy.

Dragon Quest of the Stars incorporated mission-based gameplay. As the player advanced the story, they would travel between locations on fixed area maps and fight many species of monsters in transit or while exploring a dungeon area. Moving about a map required the player to consume stamina that regenerated over time, the amounts increasing with the relative difficulty of each area. Players could also select a companion unit made available by other players to assist in combat.

Attacking in battle was automatic, while customisable skills operated on an active-time system. As the battle progressed, skill gauges assigned to each player unit filled up; and when full, units could execute their chosen skills. Chaining skills together in rapid succession increased damage dealt per turn. Battles were scored against explicit mission objectives, with rewards given for each objective met in a given mission. When all objectives had been met, the mission was marked "clear". Regardless of progress, any story mission could be re-attempted at any time.

As a gacha game, Dragon Quest of the Stars offered various categories of equipment by means of lottery, using virtual currency purchased with real-world money or earned as the player progressed. The equipment could then be modified and assigned according to the player's needs and battle party. Players could also activate monthly Star Pass subscriptions to unlock additional features and subscriber-only benefits. One free Star Pass was provided to all new players.

Besides the regular story, a main feature of Dragon Quest of the Stars were the limited time events. The most important ones were Story Events, which were events with quest that reminisced the main Dragon Quest games and gave the player equipment, items and stamps related to said games.

The best equipment in the game could only be found through the limited time Lucky Chest Draws. The Lucky Chest Draws worked with the mechanics of a gashapon, meaning the player had a random chance at getting the rarest and most powerful equipment. The better and rarer and item was the lower the chances to get it. These draws changed regularly with different featured equipment each time. The player could pay real money to increase the chances of using the Lucky Chest Draws.

On 30 March 2021, Square Enix announced that the global game servers would be shut down on 30 June 2021. The company cited heavy impact from the ongoing coronavirus crisis on its Singapore facilities among the reasons for the closure.
