If I were to buy Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on Steam, would any of you guys play it with me?

It's a really good game. The combat is suprisingly smooth for an oldschool beat em up. The aesthetic is awesome, and the beat em up/rpg cross over is really clever (beat em ups have a huge emphasis on preparing and conserving items, which is also what dungeon crawlers are about. Not to mention the party game aspect of playing them 4 players is very Dnd).


"Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up by Capcom originally released for the arcades in 1994 which ran on the CP-System II hardware. It was followed by a single sequel in 1996 titled Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, along with a compilation of both games titled Dungeons & Dragons Collection released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Saturn in 1999. They are notable for their unique blending of the Dungeons & Dragons game system and Capcom's then-popular 2D scrolling-brawler engine, put in the limelight by Final Fight back in 1989. The duology is also respected for Capcom's showing their work in regards to using the RPG system's lore and combat rules, and for providing a certain amount of depth to the beat 'em up genre that wasn't previously explored: Characters have multiple special moves, can use items and magic, can collect money to spend in towns, can equip weapons and armor, and can even choose branching paths as well as look for hidden areas, of which there are many"
