JOURNEY INTO THE DEMON WORLD TO SAVE YOUR FAMILY
In 1995, Majyūō was released on the Japanese Super Famicom® by a relatively unknown developer known as Eleven Co. The game itself is a challenging action-platformer but has a horror theme to it, pushing it closer to what would normally pass for a “Mature” rating. It features Abel, a man whose wife and daughter were kidnapped by his former friend, Bayer, who has become a cultist of the Demon King. Bayer seeks to bring the Demon King into the world by sacrificing Abel’s family and, if successful, would spell the end for humankind. Now, Majyūō: King of Demons will be released in the West, officially translated into English for the first time!
Majyūō: King of Demons - Collector's Edition
The fanatic Bayer seeks to resurrect the Demon King by kidnapping Abel’s wife, Maria, and daughter, Iria. With their sacrifices, a revived Demon King would run rampant in the world. To rescue his family, Abel must venture into the world of demons alone with almost no possibility of success. Upon entering, he is beset by strange creatures and eventually begins to change... he has transformed into a demon!

Developed by Eleven Co. and published by KSS, Majyūō released on the Super Famicom. It is an action-platformer that has Abel venturing into the underworld to rescue his wife and daughter from the clutches of the Demon King, no thanks to his former friend, Bayer. Defeating the bosses can potentially transform Abel, gaining him new abilities.
