The three game modes in Dawn of Fantasy test the boundaries of modern strategy games. In the massively multiplayer "Online Kingdom" and the single-player "Kingdom Wars" worlds, players will train and command massive armies in pitched battle. These armies can be tasked to either defend their own town or to raze other strongholds on the World Map, a strategic overview of the world. Upon reaching a player or NPC town on the strategy map, armies are given the opportunity to declare war and engage in all-out combat, switching to a tactical view for battles.
