If you are looking for a game filled with puzzles, glitches, annoying enemies, silly boss characters and extreme difficulty, then this is the game for you!

On the moonlit eve of his ceremony, Prince Myer sits at the lakeside to ponder the future of the kingdom. Suddenly, a shadowy figure called Khan rises from the lake and transforms into the form of a man. Although he doesn't identify himself, the figure greets Prince Myer by name, and informs him that the wizard Rubas, the "Devil of Darkness", is preparing to overtake Willner Kingdom by using seven magic bells capable of summoning an army of monsters.

To ensure peace, Prince Myer must travel to the northern mountain to burn the Seven Bells in the sacred flame; to burn down the seven bell towers in Rubas' magic palace; and, ultimately, to defeat Rubas himself.

When Rubas rang the bells, the resonance altered space time in parts of his palace. In Deadly Towers, the distortions function as invisible gateways to secret rooms and dungeons. The Seven Towers also contain invisible gateways to a parallel universe (called Parallel Zone in the English language version of the game).

Each of the Seven Bells is guarded by a (usually zoo like) creature.

1. Great Wing (Owl) 2. Wheeler (blue flaming demon) 3. Centipede 4. Great Burn (red-orange flaming demon) 5. Death Bear (horned bear) 6. Cold Killer (winged gorilla) 7. Beat Plant (green, furry, apple-shaped plant)
