    Default Name this (possibly isometric) arcade beatemup

    There's this game I remember seeing at a skating rink a long time ago. It looked fun, but I don't think I ever played it. The details are a bit blurry, but here goes.

    It's an overhead action game. I remember it being similar to a beatemup. I think it was fantasy themed. It was definitely multiplayer. Each player was a different color, like red, green, blue, or yellow. It was mostly melee combat, possibly with spells thrown in. As mentioned in the title, it was isometric or similar to isometric.

    I know the obvious answer, but it is NOT a Gauntlet title. It seemed like something a Japanese developer would make.

    <EDIT> Whoops, I thought I clicked the Arcade section...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom or Shadow over Mystara?

    Dungeon Magic and Wizard Fire are the closest so far. It was more overhead than the D&D titles, and more technically advanced than Devil World. One more detail I seem to remember is that the attract screen gameplay took place in a village-ish stage.

    The Capcom titles that have been mentioned aren't overhead. It's definitely not a typical sidescrolling beatemup. Thanks for all of the replies so far, though.

    If it's not Gauntlet it's gotta be Gain Ground.

    Even the control panel had sectioned colors for each character.

    What do I win?
