About Deadly Towers

Deadly Towers is an action title for the Nintendo Entertainment System that incorporates some minor role-playing aspects. The player controls Prince Myer, who learns of a threat from an evil wizard just before his coronation.

To confront this danger and satisfy a prophecy, the objective is to journey to the Northern Mountain and demolish seven specific structures known as the Bell Towers. Combat involves facing numerous foes on each screen, primarily by projecting a sword at them. This approach to gameplay bears a resemblance to that found in the Zelda series.
