Capcom is out of touch with it's audience. It's sad to see lots of games and franchises suddenly have DRM inserted into them. Big corporations simply don't care. The people that run them often answer to shareholders, not customers. Do yourself a favor and support indie devs. These are passionate people who make games for the target market and quite often respect their customers much better. This is the only and the …

Do you remember the days of quarter eating side scrollers? The beat 'em up where you just demolished all comers? And you could get past the one bad guy if you just had *one* more quarter? Well, now you have an unlimited number of quarters and that red dragon doesn't stand a chance. The game keeps count of the number of virtual quarters you spend and to beat Shadows of Mystera, I spent 42 virtual quarters. I paid $5 …

Ignore my playtime here, I've rebought on Steam after loving this on Xbox (and back in the day with the OG arcade machines). Now, I 100% recommend this game, but only if you're a certain type of person. This is a fairly brutally difficult game (it was spawned for arcades and designed to suck your loose change out faster than a slot machine), but it's also uniquely charming and really swings for the fences in a way …

Best beat em ups I've ever played. Don't know why we don't have more like this anymore. Well-incorporated rpg elements mixed with fast paced combat and amazing visuals while also having branching paths and differing class mechanics that make the game incredibly replayable.

You'll probably like D&D Chronicles of Mystara if (but not only if!): You were a kid who was a D&D fan, and saw this game in your local arcade, but never had enough quarters to feed it to really progress through the game -- and you'd like to rectify that problem now!

Players who liked Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara talk about nostalgic arcade fun with unlimited continues; those who didn't talk about capcom added DRM that some players dislike. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara was positively received by critics. Review aggregating website Metacritic gave the PC version 80/100, the PlayStation 3 version 83/100, and the Xbox 360 version 77/100. Reviewing the Xbox 360 version, Rob Kershaw at The Digital Fix gave the game 8/10 noting that while the graphics and music have become dated since the original arcade releases in the 1990s, the port was faithful to the source and the development team had added plenty of extras to increase the game's longevity. Erik Kain of Forbes gave a favorable review and opined that it plays a bit like Double Dragon, Ninja Turtles games, and other classic NES/SEGA side-scrolling brawlers.
