Dragon Buster is a classic side-scrolling action RPG released by Namco for the Famicom in Japan in 1987, based on their groundbreaking 1984 arcade hit. Controlling the knight Clovis, players navigate branching dungeon maps to defeat monsters and rescue Princess Celia from dragon-infested keeps.
How to Play
Explore dungeon stages, defeat enemies, and locate the boss room in each castle to advance across the map. Clovis features a Vitality gauge; taking damage reduces health, while items like potions and shields found throughout dungeons restore HP and boost defense.
