Before Diablo made clicking on dungeons cool, DarkSpyre was already throwing players into labyrinths filled with monsters and puzzles. Released in 1990, it combines hack-and-slash action with surprisingly brainy challenges. The premise is simple: descend the tower, survive the trials, claim the glory. The execution, however, is merciless. Enemies don’t care about your beginner’s luck, and the traps definitely weren’t built with OSHA in mind. Still, there’s something charming about its ambition—it’s an RPG that dares you to use your sword and your brain. Bonus points if you survive long enough to see the ending.
