06/18/2013 - Dungeons & Dragons Chronicles of Mystara Launches TodayDUNGEONS & DRAGONS:
CHRONICLES OF MYSTARA LAUNCHES TODAY Two Fan Favorite Side-Scrolling
Action RPG Games in One Digital Package San Mateo, Calif. – June 18, 2013
– Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games is pleased to announce that Dungeons
& Dragons®: Chronicles of Mystara™ is available today as a digital download from the North American
PlayStation®Network and globally via Steam® and coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360®video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft and the European PlayStation®Network from tomorrow, June 19. The title will be available for the
Nintendo eShop on Wii U™ soon after.
Capcom worked closely with Wizards of the Coast to bring these
beloved games back for all the D&D® fans on today’s consoles. Developed by Iron Galaxy, Dungeons
& Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara brings together two arcade classics – Dungeons & Dragons®:
Tower of Doom™ and its sequel Dungeons & Dragons®: Shadow over Mystara™ – fully updated
with HD graphics and a wealth of additional features. The highly requested games had previously only been available in arcades
in the west and can now be enjoyed by a wider gaming audience.
Both titles mix intense 2D side scrolling action
RPG to deliver a truly deep gameplay experience for up to four players as they battle online or locally against the iconic
monsters of Dungeons & Dragons with a mix of melee, range and magic attacks. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles
of Mystara is powered by GGPO to offer seamless drop-in/drop-out online gameplay for up to four players in each
of the title’s two modes. In addition to the classic arcade mode with its branching paths and multiple endings, players
can utilize the all new House Rules feature which offers stackable game options to customize gameplay for a completely different
experience. For instance, “Vampirism” awards health for every attack dealt to an enemy and “Lockpick”
causes all chests to be open.
Further additions include a dynamic Challenge system that sets players in-game goals
in return for character level-ups and points which can be spent in the Vault: a treasure trove of unlockables and gameplay
loot. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara also features the Character Visualizer which
lets players track which characters they and their friends use most often and can help create a more balanced multiplayer
dungeon party, or point out which characters are most under-used; with further gameplay stats tracked via a global leaderboard.
Lastly, owners of the Wii U version will be able to use the GamePad touch screen to select spells and items with ease, allowing
for a more streamlined gameplay experience.
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
will be priced at $14.99/€14.99/£11.99/1200MSP.
