Double Dungeon is a dungeon crawler by NCS.
The King has sent his best warriors to find
the kingdom's missing treasure. As one of them,
the player enters the creepy dungeons and gets ready to fight armies of
monsters and other demons - green slimes, giant
snakes, gnomes, orc, giant bees etc... Depending the warrior's level, the player can pick a different starting route and each one of
these six starting areas are made of several sub-levels. The game uses a first person
view and the player smoothly walks along corridors and
surprises monsters as he explores their den. All the action is
in realtime and fights, despite a round-based structure, also follow
this rule. A password system is available and the players progress can be saved at
any time during the game by pressing Start.
Unlike other crawler of the time, two players can simultaneously
explore the dungeon's twenty two floors.

Teaser text from the American version:
Summoned by the King, you are the last hope of a once peaceful
land. Journey deep withing the earth on your quest to destroy
a strange, unnatural force. With new "split screen" action you
and a partner can work together to uncover the mysteries of
the eeries underground labyrinth and its evil inhabitants. Face the
Death Crow, Pumpkin Head, and Savage Elf in over 22 levels
of chilling adventure. You won't want to travel alone - and you
don't have to!

Back in 1989, I would have certainly been amazed to play this
game. Corridor graphics are really simple but in
counterpart the animation is extremely smooth.
Fights, because of their turn-based approach, are a bit disappointing and
monsters have the bad habit to reappear after you kill them.
Japanese language is not a huge problem (the game was
translated and released in the US though) and
can only be a problem to figure out menus and passwords.
All in all, Double Dungeons is an average game that has
aged a lot. However, I sometimes surprise myself turning the
game on and playing it for an hour or so...
