Synopsis

Exvania is an arcade game that was released by Namco in 1992 in Japan.
it is a 4 player game adopting a medieval style (Ward, Emilio, Charles and Carl) fight for control of the land. They do this by battling through levels of different castles, trying to take control of each one. When a player has won three matches, he gains control of the castle and the game progresses to the next castle. Each castle has a different theme, ie Lava, water, etc. The game plays very similar to Hudson Bomberman series. Each player starts each match in one of the four corners of the screen. Opponents cannot be killed by bombs, if the whip weapon temporarily knocks them out. The goal is to trap other players with bombs, kill them, or otherwise force them to walk into the path of an exploding bomb. Every few levels, a large dragon can be found roaming free. The dragon becomes stronger as the levels progress, and in higher levels begins breathing fire and attacking players by other means. If the dragon is successfully killed, power-ups appear all around it. Other enemies, such as mud stains and walking skeletons, appear as levels progress. They cannot kill players, but can significantly stun them in various ways and are very annoying. They are easily killed, but become more numerous with each level. Conveniently complete each level, and can be broken with the whip. Each chest contains a power-up, such as speed shoes, boomerang, extra bombs, more bombs, and more. The final level pits the winning player (the player who has won the most matches and controls the most castles) against a witch. After defeating the witch, the game ends.
