About This Game
Tower of Doom innovated the beat 'em up genre by incorporating authentic D&D mechanics including character levels, spell slots, and dice roll calculations for attacks and damage.
The game features cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, with each character class (Fighter, Cleric, Elf, and Dwarf) offering unique abilities and playstyles.
Praised for its faithful adaptation of tabletop RPG mechanics to arcade action, Tower of Doom became a cult classic and led to the superior sequel Shadow over Mystara.
