"As Last of the Great Druids, wander through the Dungeons of Acamantor with your mighty Golem by your side on a quest to destroy the four demon princes."
 
Druid is a fantasy-themed arcade adventure, where the player plays the part of Hasrinaxx, a druid who is trying to rid the world of the evil Acamantor and his army of demons. To do this, Hasrinaxx must travel through several levels. The first level is a normal landscape, and the ones after that are underground, each one deeper than the previous. Each level is infested with various enemies such as ghosts, giant insects, and even demons. Hasrinaxx can shoot these enemies with three different weapons: water, fire, and electricity, but they all come in a finite supply and are not equally effective on all enemies. Hasrinaxx can also summon a Golem to help him, or turn invisible for a brief period.
