The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon is a role-playing video game developed by Arika and Chunsoft and published by Namco in 2004 exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 2. It is the sequel to The Tower of Druaga and the eighth game in Chunsoft's Mysterious Dungeon series.
The Nightmare of Druaga is a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler, with lots of action and little pretension. In the role of an intrepid warrior, players advance by defeating various monsters and improving their characteristics with the loot and experience they gain, then moving on to face more powerful opponents.
The game begins with a prologue detailing Gil and Ki's war against the demon, Druaga, which took place during the first four games of the Druaga series. Three years later, Ki and Gil are set to be married as Gil is to be crowned king of Babylon. The evening before the ceremony, Ki is captured by an evil sorceress, Skulld, who takes her back to the Tower of Druaga. Gil enters the portal shrine under Ishtar's temple to save her.
The game is set in a familiar fantasy environment, home to numerous underground caverns and dungeons that are teeming with nasty baddies. A multiple fighting styles and a variety of weapon choices are available. The adventure is saved at the end of each level, but players cannot save at will or keep multiple save files, adding to the challenge.
The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon consists primarily of two types of gameplay: town sections and dungeon sections.
Town sections are free-roaming areas where the player can purchase items, upgrade equipment, and accept side-quests, as well as talk with townsfolk. Townsfolk will offer helpful information and some residents transport Gil to side-dungeons. The plot is generally advanced by defeating the bosses at the end of each of the dungeons under Ishtar's temple.
Gil battles a Roper in Druaga's Tower near the end of the game. Dungeon sections consists of turn-based play within the grid-based levels, in which enemies move or attack only when the player moves or attacks. Dungeons appear as a variety of areas, including caves, temples, forests, and sewers.
