Wardner

0 plays 1991 #Action

Wardner is a 1987 platform game developed by Toaplan and published by Taito for arcades. Players assume the role of a child named Dover on a journey to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Mia from the titular warlock. The game was later ported to the Famicom Disk System and Sega Genesis, with both ports featuring several changes and additions compared to the original version. Conversions for both the Nintendo Entertainment System and PC Engine were also in development but never released.

Wardner was met with positive reception from video game magazines since its release in arcades, though reviewers drew comparison with Capcom's Ghosts 'n Goblins due to its gameplay style, while the Genesis version was met with mixed reviews after launch. As of 2019, the rights to the title are owned by Tatsujin, a company founded in 2017 by former Toaplan member Masahiro Yuge, which is now an affiliate of Japanese arcade manufacturer exA-Arcadia, alongside many other Toaplan IPs.
