Pyros, originally known as Wardner no Mori in Japan, is a classic 2D action-platformer released for arcades in 1987. Developed by Toaplan and published by Taito, this challenging side-scroller puts you in control of a young boy named Dover on a quest through a fantasy forest to rescue his friend Mia from the evil warlock Wardner.
How to play: Guide Dover through five perilous stages filled with enemies and traps. Your primary objective is to reach the end of each level while surviving incoming attacks. You can move left and right, jump to avoid obstacles, and fire projectiles at enemies. The default arcade controls use the arrow keys for movement, ‘Z’ to jump, and ‘X’ to attack.
Tips: Defeated enemies drop gold and orbsโcollect these to upgrade your weapon, which allows you to fire more rapidly and deal greater damage. Spend your collected gold carefully at the shops found between stages to purchase health or better equipment.
