It’s not often we get to talk about two 2-D beat ’em up titles in one week, but over the past few days we’ve actually had reason to talk about that often overlooked genre so many fans of ’90s arcade games hold dear. Just a few days ago we covered Atlus and Vanillaware’s upcoming fantasy brawler, Dragon’s Crown. Today we get to talk a little bit about the line of games that likely inspired that medieval slugfest, Capcom’s Dungeons & Dragons line of arcade games.

In Just over a week Capcom and developer Iron Galaxy will be digitally releasing Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on the Xbox 360, Ps3, PC, and Wii U. The collection combines the 1993 classic Tower of Doom along with its greatly improved sequel, 1996’s Shadow Over Mystara in one enhanced package. While these games were bundled before in 1999 on the Japanese Sega Saturn in the Dungeons & Dragons Collection, this is the first time the titles have been made available to Western console gamers.

Each game in the series allows players to choose from a variety of classic Dungeons & Dragons archetypes as your party of up to four heroes travel the land of Mystara to vanquish evil kobolds, a villainous Lich, and an assortment of mighty dragons who stand in your way. The game’s tages progress in a non-linear fashion, allowing players to chart their own path through the rich fantasy landscape collecting loot and cracking the skulls of a wide variety of fantasy creatures in true Capcom fashion.

This enhanced port of these arcade classics features a slew of additions to the original games such as

Unbreakable Mode: This mode grants your enchanted equipment invulnerability. Allowing you to indefinitely use your favorite mystical items.
