Okay, so Tower of Druaga on Game Boy is one of those games that looks simple at first—just a little dude with a sword wandering maze-like floors—but man, it gets tricky fast. You’re basically climbing this massive tower floor by floor, and every level’s a puzzle. Some doors won’t open unless you kill enemies in a certain order, others hide keys behind fake walls. Mess up, and you’re stuck wandering until you figure it out.

The combat’s clunky in that classic arcade way—your swings are slow, so you’ve gotta time them right or get swarmed. And the enemies? Some are pushovers, others will corner you if you’re not careful. Half the fun is memorizing their patterns and learning which items actually help (that shield upgrade? Lifesaver).

It’s got that old-school vibe where nothing’s handed to you, and yeah, it’ll probably frustrate you at least once. But there’s something satisfying about finally cracking a floor’s secret after ten minutes of trial and error. Just don’t expect a walk in the park—this tower earns its reputation.
