Gameplay

In the game, players select from 22 levels, earning gold and experience by killing enemies. The last level is not accessible until the player beats the others. This gold can be used to buy items and weapons at a shop, or rest at an inn, while the experience points help to raise the player's level.

The player(s) cannot die, but are sent back to the start of the dungeon if they lose in battle. The two-player split-screen mode is co-op.

Reception

The Virtual Console release received poor scores by IGN[7] and Nintendo Life.[8]

gollark: My webserver thing "queries" ZIM files to find the contents of each page, and so presumably does their reader program.
gollark: They *are*, actually, in this case.
gollark: Efficiently generating and reading them.
gollark: Yes, they are, but queryable ones.
gollark: They do some convoluted stuff which SQLite (praise be) handles fine on its own.
