D&D: Chronicles of Mystara is on Sale at Humble Bundle

For a brief, glorious 48 hours, you can snag Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara at a fantastic price over at the Humble Bundle Store!

If you’re looking for a classic beat ’em up experience dripping with retro charm and co-op mayhem, this is your shining beacon in the dark. Don’t miss your chance to relive — or discover — one of Capcom’s finest arcade classics.

What is Chronicles of Mystara, Anyway?

Think of it as the ultimate “quarter-eater” arcade experience, but now you only pay once! This digital collection packages two absolute gems from the 90s:

1. Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (1993)

2. Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara (1996)

These aren’t just your typical side-scrolling brawlers. Capcom mixed their signature fighting game flair with genuine D&D elements:

• Choose Your Class: Pick from classic archetypes like the Fighter, Dwarf, Cleric, Elf, Magic-User, and Thief, each with unique skills, spells, and movement. (Yes, the Thief can actually unlock chests!)

• Deep Arcade Action: The combat is far more complex than a simple mash-fest. You have blocking, dashing, a usable inventory of weapons and scrolls, and even special Street Fighter-esque moves.

• RPG Lite: You’ll gain XP, level up your character, and find different weapons and armor (and yes, they can break!).

• Branching Paths: Unlike most beat ’em ups, these games feature multiple routes, secrets, and endings, offering huge replay value!

This version isn’t just a straight emulator dump; it comes packed with modern features that make the experience even better:

• Four-Player Online Co-op: The games were made for group play, and now you can battle a Beholder with three friends from anywhere in the world. (Just try not to hoard all the healing potions!)

• Persistent Character Levels: Your favorite character’s level and progress stick with you across playthroughs, giving you a tangible reward for all that hacking and slashing.

• Unlockable House Rules: Want to make the game easier with “unbreakable equipment” or turn it into a mad dash with “enemy rush”? You can! Customize your dungeon crawl to your heart’s content.

• Crisp Retro Graphics: Choose between smoothing filters, scanlines, or the original pixel perfection to relive the arcade glory days.

• You only have 2 days to grab this bundle of retro goodness. Once the hourglass runs out, the price returns to its standard amount.

Head over to the Humble Bundle store now, rally your party, and get ready to shout “Magic Missile!” at your screen! For the glory of Mystara!
