About the Game
Set in the year 20XX in “NEO TOKYO,” a symbol of the new era. What is the “demon summoning program” left behind by the father who disappeared?
Majin Tensei is a simulation RPG released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The Gaiden that succeeded the world view of the Majin Tensei series, which was supported by many fans for its unique dark world view and challenging difficulty level, was Majin Tensei: Blind Thinker, distributed on feature phones at the time.
This work consists of “story parts” and “battle parts.” In “story parts,” the story progresses through dialogues between the protagonist, the characters surrounding him, and his opponents. When the player enters a battle, he enters the “battle part,” and if he wins the battle, he can proceed to the next chapter.
Commands include “Move,” “Attack,” “Magic” to heal friends and attack multiple enemies, as well as “Summon Demons,” “Negotiate with Demons (Conversation),” and “Combine Demons,” which are unique to the series.
The scenario adopts a multi-scenario approach that changes depending on the choices made during the game. Players can enjoy a new story each time they play. Furthermore, by fulfilling certain conditions, players can play through hidden scenarios, allowing them to play the game over and over again.
