Thanatos, released in 1986 by Durell Software Ltd, is an arcade action game where you control a dragon named Thanatos. The game is set in a fantasy world filled with various hazards like killer bees, two-headed dragons, and sea serpents. Your primary objective is to rescue the Sorceress Eros and her belongings, including spell books and a cat, from several castles where they are imprisoned.
The gameplay involves navigating a scrolling landscape where Thanatos can fly and breathe fire to defeat enemies. The dragon can also pick up enemies with its talons and use them as projectiles against others. The life force of Thanatos is represented by a beating heart on the screen, and his fire supply is depicted as a bag of blood. If the dragon takes damage, its heartbeat quickens, and it can recover by landing and resting.
To win, players must carry Eros on Thanatos's back across different castles to collect various objects. The game becomes progressively harder, with three castles on easier levels and four on more challenging ones. The game offers a unique blend of action and strategy, requiring players to manage resources like fire and health while navigating through enemies.
Thanatos received positive reviews for its engaging gameplay, with CRASH magazine rating it 93% in December 1986. The game stands out for its distinctive arcade adventure style, offering players a different experience from typical dragon-themed games of its time.
