던전 앤 드래곤 섀도 오버 미스타라 데모 Dungeons&Dragons Shadow over Mystara DEMO ダンジョンズ&ドラゴンズ シャドーオーバーミスタラ
3던전 앤 드래곤 섀도 오버 미스타라
캡콤의 던전 앤 드래곤 시리즈를 사용한 게임 던전 앤 드래곤(게임) 두 번째 작품. 아쉬운 점은 캡콤이 더 이상 지적재산권 사용 허가를 얻지 못해 후속작이 등장하지 못했다는 점이다.
던전 앤 드래곤 타워 오브 둠의 후속작이며 타워 오브 둠에서 문제시 됐던 부분을 수정하고, 더 화려한 연출과 조작 체계로 돌아왔으며, 게임을 시작하고 엔딩을 보기까지 기본적으로 1시간은 가뿐히 넘어갈 만큼의 볼륨을 자랑한다.
《던전 앤 드래곤: 섀도 오버 미스타라》(Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara)는 캡콤이 제작한 1996년 아케이드 진행형 격투 게임이다. 1993년 발매됐던 《던전 앤 드래곤: 타워 오브 둠》의 후속작으로, 던전 앤 드래곤 캠페인 세계 미스타라에 기반하고 있다. 1997년의 《배틀 서킷》과 함께 캡콤이 제작한 마지막 2D 아케이드 게임이었다.
《섀도 오버 미스타라》는 기존의 진행형 격투 게임에 액션 롤플레잉 비디오 게임 요소를 결합한 깊은 게임플레이를 갖췄다. 플레이어는 적들을 베어 얻는 경험치가 쌓이면 새로운 마법을 배울 수 있으며, 상점에서 무기와 장비를 구입해 스스로를 강화할 수 있다. 처음에 선택할 수 있는 6개의 직업에 따라 고유한 특기와 장점이 있고, 부가아이템을 장착하면 특정 공격에 대한 면역이 생기는 등 부가효과를 볼 수 있다. 이런 게임 내의 숨겨진 요소들과 더불어 어느 쪽 갈림길로 진행함에 따라 완전히 다른 스테이지가 나오는 등 파고들기 요소가 풍부하다.
CP 시스템 II 기판으로 아케이드 전용으로 출시된 후, 1999년에 세가 새턴으로 전작과 함께 《던전 앤 드래곤 컬렉션》이란 이름으로 이식됐다. 2013년에는 마찬가지로 전작과 같이 포함된 이식판 《던전 앤 드래곤: 미스타라 연대기》가 닌텐도 Wii U, 플레이스테이션 3, 엑스박스 360 및 마이크로소프트 윈도우로 출시됐다.
Dungeons&Dragons Shadow over Mystara
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (Japanese: ダンジョンズ&ドラゴンズ シャドーオーバーミスタラ, Hepburn: Danjonzu & Doragonzu Shadō ōbā Misutara) is an arcade game developed and published by Capcom in 1996 as a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom.[2][3] The game is set in the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting of Mystara.
Combining the side-scrolling gameplay of a beat 'em up with some aspects found in a role-playing video game, Shadow over Mystara has many game mechanics not commonly found in arcade games, such as finding and equipping new gear and earning new spells as the player gains experience. Players can wield a large variety of weapons and armor, although this selection is limited by the character the players chooses; there is also an extensive assortment of magical and hidden items in the game, many of which are completely unknown to exist to the typical video gamer. This, along with the addition of multiple endings and forking paths, gives the game much re-playability and has led to a cult following among fans of the genre.
It was one of the last 2-D arcade side-scrollers created by Capcom; only Battle Circuit (1997) came after Shadow over Mystara. The game has seen two home releases as part of the compilations: Dungeons & Dragons Collection published for the Sega Saturn in 1999, and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara made available on the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Steam in 2013.
Plot
After defeating the Arch Lich Deimos, the heroes continued on their journey through the Broken Lands of Glantri after realizing that Deimos was only part of an even greater evil plan, and he was in fact being used by a mysterious sorceress named Synn. Synn, who appears to be a young woman but commands incredibly powerful magical abilities, has been scheming to control the Kingdom of Glantri and conquer the humanoids of the Republic of Darokin. But now that Deimos has been defeated, Synn vowed to punish the land that she desired.
At the game's end the player discovers that Synn is in fact a centuries-old red dragon, bent on harnessing the mystical forces of the lands she has conquered, in order to awaken a creature of even more devastating physical prowess than herself - known and described only as The Fiend. The heroes then fight against Synn in her lair; when she is slain, her monster is also destroyed by an airship bombing.
After the heroes beat the final boss, each member of the group is treated to a short epilogue detailing his or her future exploits. Endings are titled with a simple code: the first letter of the character class followed by the number of the ending. Therefore, the Cleric's second ending is called "C-2", the Fighter's best ending is named "F-1", and so forth. There are four separate endings per character class and the hero earns an ending based on multiple factors that are specific to the character's class above ?-3 endings. With the exception of the Dwarf and Cleric, characters can receive a ?-3 ending if they have collected at least 3000 SP. All character classes have a message based on having struck the final blow to Synn, but it is not always their ?-1 ending. Several classes have endings based on beating the game while wielding a weapon or simply having it in their inventory, including the Battle Axe, the Sling, or the Sword of Legend, among others. Higher numbered endings can be achieved without meeting the requirements for lower numbered endings.
