The Tower of Druaga is now available on the NES – Nintendo Classics App

Nintendo has announced and released an update for the NES – Nintendo Classics App bringing in The Tower of Druaga and more for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

The Tower of Druaga is an action RPG from Namco that launched back in 1984 in Japanese arcades before seeing a home console launch in 1985 for the Famicom in Japan. It is available alongside two other games on the NES – Nintendo Classics app. You can find the launch trailer with details via Nintendo below:

The Tower of Druaga

Control GIL, the hero, as he climbs the tower! Starting from the first floor, pick up the key inside each maze and go through the door to advance to the next floor. To clear the game, you must defeat DRUAGA, the ruler of the tower, then advance to the top floor and save your beloved KI. Some foes need to land several hits before you lose a life—but many will kill you instantly! Failing to block a spell with your shield, touching fire, and running out of time will also cause you to lose a life. Run out of lives, the game is over. There are also secret tasks, one for each floor, that will reward you with hidden items, like a pickax that can destroy walls and boots that increase your movement speed. You will need some of these items to beat the game—missing key items will lead to certain death, or at least a dead end and a long return journey. Climb carefully!
