The King of Dragons

The King of Dragons (1991)

by Capcom
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Arcade, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player, Co-operative, Multiplayer
Story:The game has 16 levels, though many are quite short. Much like Capcom's Knights of the Round, King of Dragons features an role-playing video game-like level advancement system. Points scored for killing monsters and picking up gold count towards experience, and the character gains levels at regular intervals. With each level, the character's health bar increases, other attributes such as range improve, and the character also becomes invulnerable for a few seconds. Along the way, different weapon and armor upgrades for each character may also be picked up. King of Dragons features a simple control system that consists of a single attack button, and a jump button. By pressing both buttons, the character unleashes a magical attack that strikes all enemies in screen (its strength varies according to the character used) at the expense of losing energy. The fighter, cleric and dwarf can also use their shield to block certain attacks by tilting the joystick back right before the impact. This is one of the many Capcom games to feature the yashichi power-up item. There are three such power-ups hidden throughout the game, each giving the player an extra continue.Show more

One of the great beat'n'up games of the 90s. Um dos meus primeiros jogos zerados, um dos meus primeiros contatos com fantasia medieval e ele é um dos grandes beat'n'up dos anos 90. Eu diria que é um título essencial.
