Years ago, humanity was terrorized by demonic creatures from the underworld. That changed when a warrior claimed the sword Excalibur and, alongside allies, fought the demons and drove them back to the underworld.
Peace ensued, but it was later shattered when the devil Parricada appeared on Earth and killed the wielder of Excalibur. Vowing revenge, the fallen hero's son led a force of one hundred warriors through the gateway to the underworld to finish off the creatures once and for all.
Lilith, Seminex, Umbraticus, and Don Lessus - the only creatures of the underworld capable of working as a team - were tasked with driving back the human force. Despite harboring some reservations, the quartet ultimately accepted the mission.
The gameplay of this roughly 30-minute game centers primarily on combat and mini-games. Enemies appear as shadowy silhouettes on the map, signaling potential combat encounters. Battles utilize the standard turn-based, front-view combat system found in RPG Maker 2000, enhanced by the display of character graphics during the player's attacks. In addition to standard monsters, players can defeat elemental creatures that grant the main characters new abilities.
Random Fact: like you can see from the title, this game serves as a sequel/spin-off within the Don's Adventures series created by Don Miguel. But this time, unlike typical hero's journeys where you play as agents of light, you control a group of underworld anti-heroes sent to hunt down the great hero's son.
Don's Adventures (sometimes titled Don Miguel's Sample Game) was created using an unofficially translated/unlicensed version of RPG Maker 2000, and was included in his original unlicensed distribution of that program. If you want to play also that sample game, that I will probably cover with more details in a future article here someday, check one of the links below:
Final Verdict: a little homage to Don and the Rpgmaker sample game Don's Adventure, this is a really well done funny adventure with many well made edits and good maps. Not a very long game, it's still a quality product that entertains from the beginning to the end. While there were many others Don's Adventure 2 (and even Don's Adventure 3) that will probably deserve their own entries, this is in my opinion one of the best homages to the first Don's Adventure.
