The Nightmare of Druaga hacks into retail

Namco announced today that The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon has shipped to stores nationwide. Based on the classic 1984 arcade game The Tower of Druaga, Nightmare of Druaga is a hack-and-slash action game for the PlayStation 2 that harks back to those simpler times.

But the night before the ceremony, an army of monsters invades the kingdom and kidnaps her highness once again. So Gil hops back into the dungeons of Druaga to save her.
