Description

"Dungeons & Dragons Collection" is a compilation video game for the Sega Saturn that brings together two iconic arcade hits from Capcom: "Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom" and "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara." Released exclusively in Japan in 1999, this collection features a side-scrolling action RPG gameplay, well-loved for its blend of fighting and adventuring elements. Players choose from several character classes—such as Fighter, Cleric, Elf, and Dwarf—each with unique abilities and magic powers. The games are set in the expansive Dungeons & Dragons universe and offer a rich narrative with quests, monsters, and treasure-filled dungeons. The gameplay encourages teamwork in multiplayer mode, where up to four players can join forces in a thrilling quest against the evil lurking in the lands of Mystara.

The "Dungeons & Dragons Collection" on Sega Saturn showcases enhanced graphics compared to its arcade predecessors, although it faithfully retains the original look and feel that fans adore. However, due to memory limitations of the Sega Saturn, the game was released on two separate discs and reduced the multiplayer support from four to two players. Despite these limitations, it remains a prized item among collectors and enthusiasts of the era. The strategic combat, extensive item and spell selection, and branching story paths add depth and replayability, qualities that kept players engaged and contributed broadly to the game's cult status in the years following its release.
