The Tower of Druaga (New Ver) is a seminal 1984 action-RPG maze game developed by Namco. As the golden-armored hero Gilgamesh, you must navigate 60 treacherous floors of a monster-filled tower to rescue the maiden Ki from the demon Druaga. A true classic of the arcade era, it blends careful maze traversal with hidden items and intense combat.
How to Play
Your objective is to reach the door to the next floor before the timer runs out, finding the key on each level while battling slimes, knights, and wizards. In your browser, insert a coin (often Shift or Space) and press Start (Enter). Use the Arrow Keys to navigate Gilgamesh through the maze. Press the primary action key (Z or X) to draw your sword.
Tips
- Your shield automatically blocks spells if you are facing the projectile, but only when your sword is sheathed or if you are not moving.
- Every floor contains a hidden treasure chest. Revealing it requires a specific, often cryptic action, like defeating a certain enemy first or passing over a specific spot.
- Keep moving! If you take too long on a floor, deadly Will-o’-the-Wisps will spawn and hunt you down.
