At the outset of the game, she is raped by a priest, which causes her to lose her succubus crest and, by extension, most of her powers. In The Tower of Succubus, you take on the role of a succubus named Lucia. It’s arguably a bit of a harder sell than some of the other titles in the series - particularly as those less familiar with its source material might assume it’s more of a Zelda-type game than it actually is - but it’s an enjoyable, worthwhile game that is worth spending the few hours it takes to beat it. That makes it an ideal candidate for a “modern retro” makeover: maintaining a classic, old-school aesthetic while bringing the mechanics, structure and overall feel of the game thoroughly up to date with everything we’ve learned about game development since 1984.Īnd, as you should probably expect given the high quality of the rest of the Succubus series, The Tower of Succubus does a great job at this. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the concept behind The Tower of Druaga there is everything wrong with its execution, however. It’s also a game whose potential is readily apparent, however.
