- Watch this movie in wide screen or full screen, please.
About 1 month ago, I unearthed a CD "Namco History Vol.2" which released in November, 1997 from the old box. It is a collection of old arcade games from Namco, including "Tank Battalion", "GROBDA", "RALLY X", "New RALLY X", "Phozon" and "The Tower of Druaga".
Although this CD was for windows 95, fortunately I was able to install it in Windows XP. And I played "The Tower of Druaga" after a long time. After all, it was outstandingly interesting.
Well, I made this movie. A playing guide is displayed every Floor. English may be strange...

いやはや、14～15年ぶりに遊んだのですが、物凄く面白かったです。せっかくだから１フロアごとに攻略情報を表示するような動画を作ろうかと思い付いたのですが、既に極めて優れた動画が上がっているのを発見。ということで、差別化を図るべく攻略情報を無理やり英語で書いてみました。つかれました。 - เกม

One of the most hardcore arcades for sure.
I've read the requirements to beat this game has you having to have certain items to survive the later floors, miss out on anything, you don't finish it. And the treasure chests require you to do certain things for them to appear. For a game from the early 80's it is extremely deep.
Also it was awfully nice to have a guide for this game included, kept you from ultimately having to redo the entire game from the start.
But if you just follow steps from a guide it's barely like playing a game at that point, the point is to figure out what you're supposed to do but THAT's not fun because it's intentionally unfair and extremely cryptic
@@HardDiskDog Yeah, the game kind of gets kneecapped hard if you're not playing in an arcade or a gaming community with a very collaborative community, unfortunately. Ambitious, but as awkward as a pioneering game like this gets.
Yes, having the guide for the game was essential for completing it, as some of the requirements can get a bit tricky as early as Floor 13. Also, there are two floors in which if you failed to do the requirements, you get ZAPPED, and you lose some important items!
First time playing that on DS, Namco Museum DS that is.
Same
@@DarielChavezV. Me too
Same. That's how I was first introduced to the game, and boy was it BRUTAL!
Yeah a veteran-type game player can beat this game. Some people I heard a while back said about it.
As a kid (back in 2000), I first thought that "The Tower of Druaga" had up to 99 floors since the tower was pretty big. LOL I also realized back then how Ki looks so much like me as well. I personally first discovered "The Tower of Druaga" in either October or November 2000 from "Namco Museum Vol 3", but I'm leaning more towards October.
Arcade games had a reputation for being cruel, but Tower of Druaga takes it to new levels. How many hundred yen coins did this monster devour before someone finally brute forced their way to the top?
Windows95版のナムコヒストリー！
動画で見たのは初めてなのですが、
起動時の表示、音程の揺らぎ感、１面のグリーンスライムの密集具合を見ると、ＡＣ版をエミュレートしている感じですね。
yukimatsuriさんの安定したプレイや、右画面の解説や色使いにもこだわりを感じ、最後まで楽しく拝見いたしました。
ありがとうございます(*^^*)
Nostalgic, it's a game I used to play with my friends at the time.
18:58 On the 25th floor, there is no way to put it out, rather than no treasure.
Internal data is set to jet boots.
According to Masanobu Endo, "Because the development code of TOD was V-25, I eliminated the treasure on the 25th side without any connection. I have no other intention."
23:20 When crossing a dragon, it's okay to keep the sword closed. Rather, it is dangerous if you do not cross with the sword closed.
It's an effect of the Blue Line Shield, but as it is written, the range where you can receive spells is widened (since the normal state is his 4 dots, it will be doubled to 8 dots). When the left and right spells fly at the same time and are likely to be pinched, you can receive both the left and right spells by turning around at the right time, but this is easier.
I Sit and think... Imagine someone in a Late Night in a arcade trying to beat this game, and starts to take notes to how to get all items... and then all gets revealed in a Gaming Book or Guide... Is curious to think if this game had attention
ピアノの演奏は何度も観たのですがゲームも上手いんですね～
凄いです！！
Ah, Druaga. Innovative, yet cryptic.
28:02 Don't take the treasure chest here.
You can clear it even if you take it, but it is difficult to take the treasure on the next floor and you will surely die.
I will write more about the Potion of Death.
First of all, the state in which the decrease of TIME described above becomes faster is tentatively referred to as "poisonous state". If you write the effect accurately,
"If you have it, it will be poisoned at the next floor start (next floor, after death, etc.)"
is.It doesn't become poisonous right after you take it, it's the next time you start. Therefore, if you take a potion on this floor and die and restart this floor, you will be poisoned. Also, potions will disappear when poisoned. In other words, even if you take a potion on this floor and go to the 41st floor as it is, it will become poisonous and the potion will disappear as soon as the 41st floor starts.
28:32 If you have taken the Potion of Death on the previous floor and want to eliminate the effect of the Potion of Death, you have to take the treasure here.
If you take the Potion of Death on the 40th floor and clear it without dying, you will be poisoned on this floor (time reduction will be 6 times). The only way to get rid of this state is to take the treasure chest, but it only takes about 17 seconds until the time is over. You have to defeat Quox, pick up the treasure, pick up the key, and enter the door in 17 seconds. Moreover, there are four wizards. I don't think it's impossible if the placement is good, but in reality it is difficult to take the treasure and clear it, and you will be prepared for one mistake.
In addition, the poisonous state will not be canceled unless you die or take the Potion of Cure. If you go to the next floor without taking the treasure chest here, it will remain poisonous.
The effect of the Potion of Cure is not to cancel the Potion of Death by overwriting the potion, but to cancel the effect (poisonous state) of the Potion of Death. By the way, if it is not poisonous, the potion will remain at hand. However, when you clear this floor, all potions will disappear, so you cannot carry it over to the next floor as a result.
Can you do tank batallion? ;)
You better than I did that’s for sure
29:09 you missed
The Sapphire Mace isn't required. It's just a trophy
I've always wondered, how do you see Gil's vitality? Is it a hidden value?
MrSmegheneghan It is not, but still very limited. If you get hit by a slime, you're instantly dead. If you're hit by a wizard spell, you're also instantly dead unless you have the treasure from floor 52. As for Knights, it is strange. There are strong and weak sword attacks. You have to charge left and right to get the kill. If you start attacking from the left and left only, you will most likely be killed. This is especially important to remember with the mirror knights and black Knights. It doesn't exist anymore, but the IOS version of this game had a built in feature to view HP.
@@thatguy4747 The PC Engine version is one version that shows Gil's health remaining, it is also pretty much a redone from the ground up kind of port, looks quite different than any other version of the game ever made.
@@Bloodreign1the game boy versions shows it too. HP = VITALITY
I didn't know the pickaxe could be used twice. I saw it in the Japanese version, and thought it was exclusive to their country. I asked about it, but they probably couldn't understand me. I wonder if the blue and red wisp stages could be manipulated with RNG, because I honestly find that complete bullshit. I've beaten this game 2 times out of the 300 times I've played it. I really have a love-hate relationship with it. The difficulty is unlike anything I have ever known.
Wisps always follow the left/right wall according to color, no RNG at all.
@@Aethelia Oh, really? So, you're telling me I can always determine where they will move? I must learn this strategy. But sadly, this game is so niche I don't imagine a tutorial video existing. When you say "according to color", does that mean a blue or a red wisp will always follow the same direction?

any emulator and rom for this
you could run it on mame
This is in general a great version of the game, but the sound emulation is off; less high end clarity than the original Namco WSG chips, and especially in the level start fanfare, it sounds significantly out of tune.
Watching Darkness mode of the game.
