This is an arcade compilation done right. But now we want more.
Oh, and Chronicles of Mystara works best if you have friends in tow. You can play locally with up to four people in a battle, which is always entertaining, but you're also able to get online via PlayStation Network or Xbox Live to do some damage. We tried both versions out and found no problem with the gameplay, though there are times battles can slow down a little – especially in Tower of Doom – depending on the chaos unfolding on-screen. That's an old-school brawler for you.
Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is a stand-out digital collection, a reminder that Capcom still cares about its classic library just as much as its current-generation releases. Iron Galaxy's treatment is refined, and the online/offline multiplayer options, coupled with the level-up system and vintage brawling gameplay, wrap up well into a neat little package. For $15, you get two pieces of gaming goodness that are well worth exploring -- and in a language you can understand.
Now if we can just get Capcom to do a collection that includes King of Dragons, Knights of the Round and (fingers crossed) Alien vs. Predator...
Score: 8.5 / 10
