The Tower of Druaga.
The Tower of Druaga, a 1984 action RPG arcade game by Namco, takes players through a maze-filled tower, where they assume the role of hero Gilgamesh, battling monsters and rescuing the maiden Ki.
Unveil the epic journey of Gilgamesh in The Tower of Druaga, an innovative blend of maze exploration and role-playing action, first released by Namco in 1984. This pioneering title, one of the first action RPGs alongside Dragon Slayer, has left a lasting legacy in the gaming landscape. Set in the fantasy kingdom of 'Babylim', players are tasked with navigating through 60 floors of a daunting tower teeming with increasingly challenging monsters. With a sword to defeat foes, a shield to block magical attacks, and a series of hidden treasures to discover, players must find the key to the next level, while seeking the ultimate goal: rescuing the maiden Ki from the demon Druaga. The game's distinct progression system, coupled with its rich backstory and detailed character design, solidifies its place as a timeless classic in the realm of old-school platformers.
