Banking almost solely on the nostalgic value of its namesake, Nightmare of Druaga is an extremely average dungeon crawl that’s infested with problems that keep it from being entertaining in almost any way.
Summary A PS2 sequel to the classic NES dungeons game "Tower of Druaga" integrating elements from both the "Tower of Druaga" and "Mysterious Dungeons" series. The player must search for the keys to open exits to the dungeons. All the actions have a speed parameter, and winning difficult battles requires strategic planning. The player carries a c...
