The sequel to "The Tower of Druaga" is finally here! "The Return of ISHTAR" is an action game released by NAMCO (Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1986. The story takes place after the overthrow of DRUAGA. The tower has lost DRUAGA's magic power and is now in its original ruins, and the monsters have become more ferocious. Take control of KI and GIL and try to escape from THE TOWER OF DRUAGA, where you no longer even know the way out.
In this turn-based dungeon crawler you play as Gil, whose beloved fiancee has been kidnapped by a sorceress and taken to the Tower of Druaga. Gil puts on a suit of armor that radiates light, and proceeds into the dungeon to save his beloved Ki. The combat system and exploration might be the best part of the game. The map is set up in a grid, and you do everything in turns, like moving, battling, or recovering. The timing of moves is also critical, and the game feels like a real-time game because you aren't waiting like you typically would for turn-based games. The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino dungeon is a collaboration between the Mysterious Dungeon series and the arcade classic The Tower of Druaga.
A Game Boy Color release in the Babylonian Castle Saga.
