Dragon Buster is an action-adventure arcade game Namco released in 1984, where a warrior explores a fantasy kingdom defeating dragons and monsters while managing his vital energy and buying weapons and items between levels, in one of the first arcade fusions between direct action and RPG-style stat progression.
Its influence was later felt in titles that mixed action and RPG both inside and outside arcades, and today it's recognized as ahead of its time within Namco's 80s catalog.
