The dark lord Drokmar controls the powerful Black Orb, and the Brave One must battle through 50 tower floors to retrieve it. Armed with a sword, the beefy barbarian traverses lateral stages, hacking and slashing through ogres, winged creatures, ghouls, mages, bears, skeletons, and other nasties. Refraining from attacking recharges a magic meter that, when filled, allows the hero to fire a projectile from his blade.
