Publisher: Namco · Developer: Namco · Genre: Arcade

GameCube port of the arcade classic, offered as a preorder bonus for Namco's Japanese release of Baten Kaitos. The Tower of Druaga is a maze action game from the days when Namco was still known as Namcot. Played from a top-down overhead view, players take control of Prince Gilgamesh on his quest to rescue his love, Ki, from the vicious Druaga. Using his sword and shield to attack and defend, Gilgamesh faces off with plenty of monsters, including everyone's favorite slimes, and tracks down hidden chests for items and keys. As he climbs the tower floor by floor, players have to employ the use of special items to solve puzzles and overcome Druaga's minions, such as potions, jet boots, and a pick ax.
