A tough, but fun classic from the Apogee DOS library. Definitely worth a play.
Reckon I like me them towers.
i'd love to kill these monsters, but they move around at warp speed in crackhead trajectories, and the main character's strongest spell still hits like wet tissue paper. he also seems more preoccupied with dying of thirst, or stopping everything he's doing to let off a fart.
Silly little game to waste a few hours.
You play as Herbert from Family Guy that shoots cumballs at enemies and randomly farts and picks his nose.
The audio sounds like my speakers are regurgitating fecal matter at me.
Probably one of the least enjoyable Apogee games I've ever played.
1/10
Nostalgia Fest! I'm ten years old again and these silly levels are Very Serious and the monsters are Very Scary.
It's an overlooked gem from the past!
Of course graphics is outdated, but it has everything a good action RPG should have - spells, monsters, isometric view, humor, secrets, traps, etc.
I would like to see a remake.
I played this game a lot as a kid, both the shareware and the full version. I personally really like this game, but can't recommend it to anyone that hasn't played it before. ...Why, you may ask?
Well, to start of it's just a horrible and lazy DOSBOX emulated version. No steam features at all, no achievements, no support for modern resolutions, no bugfixes (the audio is glitchy unless you configure it correctly) but besides all that it has a lot bad gameplay design by modern standards:
Most mechanics can be completely ignored.
- That includes killing most monsters until the generator is down, as their AI is dumb as bricks, HP sponges and do a lot of random-walk. They're a waste of resources and will respawn anyways.
- Light switches are pretty useless, you can see in dark rooms anyways.
- Door switches and door tiles can also be ignored, just leave them open for yourself since you don't know what monsters are doing in other rooms anyways. There is no tactical advantage to closing doors 99% of the time.
Also, the controls feel dated and clunky, not as bad as The Abbey of Crime but you will still be fighting more against your character controls when killing enemies than the enemies themselves.
Other than that the game holds well visually, in it's isometric pixel art style, but it does also have extremely annoying "features" like resetting your selected weapon after casting teleport or reveal; or Baron Baldric's tendency to randomly stop walking to pick his nose.
Classic but dated. I had a lot more patience as a kid to throw myself at these towers over and over. A nice way to spend your time exploring 3D mazes full of monsters
Ah the nostalgia! And the soundtrack - I actually want the menu theme as a ringtone! Loved playing this when I was little and I still love it now. The graphics might be a bit pixely but the satisfaction of finding all the hidden secrets in all the towers more than makes up for that. Baldrics little animations are fun and the variety of monster actions and sounds is pretty big for a game of its time. If you like your retro PC gaming, definitely give this a go.
An oldie, but this game is still so much fun almost 25 years after it was released. The graphics are still okay, even enjoyable. The gameplay is simple but satisfying. I played this game back then when I was a kid and I now I've played it again as an adult, and I must say it is a good experience now as it was before.
Classic, 5/5 that addictive Hotline Miami style
How should I describe Mystic Towers? Maybe old style RPG game is close enough with some exceptions. You can't name your character or decide how your character looks or select skills but feel of game is something what you can get from usual RPG games. I should also say that this is not my type game at all (I got it from 3D Realms Anthology bundle) but I can understand why somebody can enjoy this game. It's challenging and well made for its' time and´of course it gives very nostalgic vibes.

I completely forgot to post my first impression video for Mystic Towers. It's fun! Decent controls and that intro music is amazing! There is a bit of a learning curve and the audio was scratchy (something you get used to from older games).
"Just one more monster!" Mystic Towers, ah what a masterpiece. I used to play this game so much as a kid, and you know, there weren't many games at the time that I could say that about. This one draws you in all easy; the first tower is a push-over. Then comes the second tower; you need to do a little thinking in this one. By the third tower, you are at wits end; never knowing which corner a monster will be, never sure of where the next bit of food might be laying in order to save the rest of your starving, dragged out, now poisoned body. This game is worth the price tag, and if you have the reflexes and brains to get to the last tower, I will personally mail you a delicious loaf of stale, pixelated tower bread. Stay retro my friends.
Great game from when i was a kid, glad to see it on steam.
I remember playing the demo for this back in '95 and had some good times with this one. Never knew it was an Australian made franchise. Too bad about the emulation though because the audio was comical and the soundtrack was pretty catchy, at least being DOSBox that can be corrected. Definitely worth picking the 3DR Anthology package though!
Cons:
* Runs in DOSBox. (yes, I'm serious)
* Interface is clunky compared to modern games.
* Audio is scratchy. (it was in the original too)
* Game lacks depth/mechanics compared to modern games.
Pros:
* I played it when I was young and enjoyed it. Now I'm doing it again.
It's Baron Baldric's Second and Final Adventure, a great MS-DOS Childhood Classic of Mine & Sequel to Baron Baldric: A Grave Adventure (Which I will provide Custom Install Instructions later in the Same Directory as Mystic Towers).
Defeat all 12 Towers (6 Apprentice & Wizard Towers) by battling 30 Different Monsters (5 Types in each Level), Collecting the Tower Keys & Destroying the Monster Generator with an arsenal of Magic Spells to attack Monsters (Ice, Sulfur, Venom Cloud, Fireball & Lightning) & to assist you in each Tower (Reveal, Heal, Teleport, Levitate & Bomb). But beware of Traps along the way including Mushrooms that can kill if your not poisoned!
As for the story, its a neat one; Baron Baldric is able to wield powerful wolf magic that was studied by his evil ancestor Baron Lazarus Padabouche who left behind a series of towers over the land where monsters has been festering. One day, the people of Rimm Village approach Baron Baldric & ask him to enter the towers, use the wolf magic to defeat the monsters & destroy the towers. Baron Baldric isn't too keen on the idea even though he's old and wants to settle down in his retirement pior to his previous adventures but he decides to summon his wolf magic to defeat the towers and restore peace to the land.
