How co-op works
Up to four players enter either arcade campaign locally or through drop-in/drop-out online co-op, choosing complementary character classes. The party combines melee, ranged attacks, magic, and consumable items while shared route choices determine later stages and encounters.
About this game
Chronicles of Mystara bundles two beloved Capcom arcade adventures, Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara, into a single co-op-ready collection. Players pick from a roster of classic D&D character classes and brawl through side-scrolling fantasy stages filled with goblins, dragons, and treasure. True to its arcade roots, this is cooperative beat-em-up action built for groups.

Combat mixes quick attacks, spells, and item management as you fight through branching paths and boss encounters. Loot drops and experience upgrades give each run a light RPG flavor, while active coordination lets spellcasters and melee fighters cover each other's weaknesses. Teamwork shines when one player shields the group while another unleashes area spells.
Both games support drop-in, drop-out local co-op on a single screen, and Remote Play Together extends the experience online. Expect fast arcade sessions with plenty of shouting, spell-timing, and friendly competition over treasure chests.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can team up locally?
The game supports local co-op on a single screen with drop-in, drop-out play. You can also use Steam Remote Play Together to bring friends into your session online.
Are the two games different, or just reskins?
Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara are two distinct arcade adventures with their own stages, branching paths, and boss fights. Shadow over Mystara is the sequel and expands on the original's mechanics.
Do I need to coordinate with teammates, or can everyone button-mash?
You can button-mash through easier sections, but tougher encounters reward coordination-spellcasters timing area attacks while melee characters tank, or players sharing healing items and covering each other during boss phases.
Is there RPG progression between runs?
Each session features loot drops and experience upgrades that carry through that playthrough. The progression is light and arcade-focused, designed for quick runs rather than long-term character building.
