Dungeons & Dragons: Tour du Destin

Tower of Doom is a side-scrolling arcade game with four playable characters (cleric, dwarf, elf, fighter) and classic Dungeons & Dragons monsters as enemies. Bosses include a troll that regenerates unless burned, a large black dragon , the dreaded Shadow Elf (Mystara's equivalent of the drow ), a beholder , the optional superboss Flamewing (a great wyrm red dragon) and the final boss Deimos (an arch lich ). At various points in the game, the players are presented with a choice of paths to take to continue progress. Each path goes to a different area, and it is impossible to visit every area during a single playthrough. Gameplay is more technical than the average beat 'em up game. In addition to the usual basic attacks and jumping, it includes blocking, strong attacks, turning attacks, dashing attacks, crouching and evading. It also requires the use of careful tactics, as most enemies have the same abilities as the heroes and a longer range. Daggers, hammers, arrows and burning oils can be used as throwing weapons, and many enemies have similar weapons. Spells can be used via magical rings or by the two spellcasters (a cleric and an elf).
