Overview
Description

The game features seven regular rounds—including city streets, moving trains, boats, jungles, caverns, and poacher hideouts—plus a bonus stage, all populated by six enemy types and a two‑form final boss. Rescue animal allies like an eagle, deer herd, and elephant to gain extra help in your fight against the poachers.

The King of Dragons is a 1991 Capcom arcade title that blends hack‑and‑slash action with role‑playing progression. Players battle through 16 short but challenging levels, earning experience points from monsters and gold to level up, boosting health, range, and granting brief invulnerability. The game features three playable characters, each with unique weapons, shields, and magical attacks activated by a simple two‑button control scheme. Hidden Yashichi power‑ups provide extra continues, and cooperative play lets friends join the fantasy quest together.
