As you probably know Konquest mode is a single player adventure game. The main character, Tavern, is on a quest to save the realm from Armageddon. The opening cutscene should give you a basic idea of the story starting point.
Besides the enemies to fight there are 60 relics to find as well as other items like alternate costumes, musical notes, etc. When you meet up with enemies you will be taken into a fight mode similar to the normal MK game.
