Description

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.
