The Tower of Druaga / ドルアーガの塔 (PC Engine) - Normal Mode Full Playthrough (1440p 60fps)

I actually love the extra touches and upgrades Namco added to this version, really helps modernize it a bit compared to other versions of this game. I could only imagine how Return of Ishtar, this games sequel would've turned out like on the PC Engine.

[@emperorIng360]

Yeah, it's easily the most playable and enjoyable Druaga title. The fact that most of the original staff worked on it gives it that extra bit of pedigree, like it's a true sequel or reimagining rather than a quick cashgrab port. Ishtar is a lot of fun! The new ACA port finally makes the game playable and digestible for the western audience (something not even the Namco Museum ps1 port could really do).

@@emperorIng360 I tend to play Ishtar on the PS1 Namco Museum 4, the controls do take getting used to. But once you get the hang of them, it's not so bad. A lot of Japanese players do tend to play it pacifist, and only bring Gil in with the Call Gil spell by a door. This way they can concentrate on Ki, as enemies will follow her and not go after Gil.

So in this universe, Enkidu is a girl named Ki and Gilgamesh is a human prince? Ishtar is a protector goddess?! Wow!!! I know this predates Fate, but I couldn't help it!!

[@johnt.190]

I thing Nasu went on record and said that the design for Gilgamesh was inspired by this game.

PC Engine bringing the 🔥 10/10. Nice to see a game I havent seen before. If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!

I’ve seen this but never played it

[@Dr.ruby7LT]

I imagined if this is on Nintendo Switch Online. Just saying.

[@LeTroubadourNoir]

51:32 Maybe it won't, unfortunately :/

[@JaceyMitchell]

The arcade version is part of the Namco museum, but you won't see the PC Engine version on Switch.

[@DSaC_]

Holy crap you move fast as hell in this version.

[@Bloodreign1]

That's due to the speed boots. The original game in arcade, along with all the ports also had them. Yeah you didn't fly like a rocket down the corridors of each maze, but you still moved faster than the games original speed that start at.
