Akuma-kun: Makai no Wana
Akuma-kun is an RPG for the NES that Tose is developing. On February 24, 1990, Bandai released the game in Japan. The game is based on a popular 1989 anime series called Akuma-kun.
You control Akuma as he travels the world visiting cities and dungeons. He tries to get in touch with the demon world.
The game follows Akuma, who the player controls through three different types of areas. The world map allows the character to visit different cities and dungeons. The world map is in world perspective and features random encounters that pit Akuma against randomly appearing enemies. During battles, the perspective switches to first-person and the player selects different types of attacks from a menu.
During battle, you can summon demons to aid Akuma-kun in battle. When the protagonist enters a city, the view changes to that of a side-scrolling video game. Akuma can enter buildings and shops. The game begins when a magician explains to the protagonist that the world will be a better place if demons and humans establish contact.
Conclusion
Since the game is in Japanese, only players who know Japanese or who want to learn Japanese should play it. The game itself is kept quite dark due to its age. Things can be a bit more colorful in the cities and on the world map or the buildings. There is a fan translation of the game called Akuma-kun: Makai no Wana or Devil Boy: Trap of Hell, but it has not been completed. Unfortunately, the game was not released on the European market, only in Japan.
