Before Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara, Capcom tested the waters with The King of Dragons (1991)—a proto-RPG brawler with leveling, loot, and a fire-breathing dragon boss named Gildiss. 🐲

🎮 Choose from 5 fantasy heroes—Fighter, Cleric, Elf, Wizard, and Dwarf—and battle through 16 stages of goblins, ogres, and wyverns!
🎼 Featuring music by Yoko Shimomura (Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts)
🕹 ️ Powered by the same arcade engine as Final Fight
💾 Level up, upgrade weapons, block spells, and bash skeletons!

No healing. No turning undead. Just you, a mace, and a dragon with attitude.

It's only 99 cents on Steam right now!https://store.steampowered.com/app/1842967/Capcom_Arcade_2nd_Stadium_AKA_The_King_of_Dragons/.
