The government has set up a special police organization, Ghost Chaser, to stop Ghost terrorists.
However, criminals who can not be found by the control system, called Ghosts, have infiltrated the country. In the year 2079, there is a country in the far east where a super computer controls all of the information in its cities, and crimestopping was supposed to be perfect. In the home version, only three (Makai, Iyo, and Belva) out of the six characters are playable, and the other three (Kurokishi, Zeldia, and Tulks) were turned into bosses one stage was also removed. Weapons have limited uses and will disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too much or when the player moves to a new area. Items such as weapons, health recovery items, and items awarding extra points can be picked up by standing over one and pressing the attack button. A thrown enemy can be tossed at another for additional damage. When an enemy is grabbed, the player can perform a grab attack by pressing the attack button or perform a throw by tilting the joystick left or right. When two players play, they can perform team-based special moves.Įnemies can be grabbed simply by walking into one of them. The player also can perform a jump attack. The final blow of the combo can be changed to a throw if the player moves the joystick in the opposite direction just before landing it. Pressing the attack button repeatedly when attacking an enemy or multiple enemies will cause the player character to perform a combo. The controls consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping respectively. Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters, while energy bars are displayed for special moves. A sequel, Guardians, was released in 1995.ĭenjinmakai can be played by up to two players simultaneously. It was later ported to the Super Famicom (known as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in other countries) under the title Ghost Chaser Densei ( ゴーストチェイサー電精). I always remember WinkySoft for Macross Scrambled Valkyrie on the SFC, but their best game might be Guardians/Denjin Makai II.Denjinmakai ( 電神魔傀), or Denjin Makai, is a 1994 side-scrolling beat 'em up developed by Winkysoft and published by Banpresto that was originally released as a coin-operated arcade game.
It’s so strange I rarely hear Guardian Heroes mentioned any more but I’d assume that’s due to the fact the game never really had much of a sequel after the Saturn original outside of the GBA quasi-sequel. It's an arcade belt-scroller overflowing with playable characters, special moves, background details, and replay value. Too bad no one noticed it back in the day or we might have had a Denjin Makai III. Guess it just faded into obscurity a bitīut that’s just unfortunate as it’s one of the best beat em ups of all time that I never really hear many people talking about any longer. Even the XBLA re-release was barely a blip on the radar it seems. Bottom line, try 5x mode, Generic 4:3 as a starting point. While Streets of Rage 4 was legit awesome I wish it had kept to the old school sprite and pixel art vs the super clean modern look it went with. Look at the names in the power bar area, using the game to dial it in was too difficult. I 100% why the devs would go the route they did though. Guardian Heroes has those giant sprites and big chunky pixels I remember so fondly from the 90’s. It even had actual transparency effects even though the collective gaming minds of the time said Saturn couldn’t handle them. It’s just an amazing light RPG beat em up that’s still top 5 beat em ups of all time in my book! It has amazing visuals, some solid story, a near perfect soundtrack and 10/10 gameplay If you enjoyed the D&D games on CPS 2 you’ll love Guardian Heroes. Winky Soft's Guardians / Denjin Makai II (1995) is a wonderful Side Scrolling Brawler. There are so many excellent arcade beat em ups out there.
#DENJIN MAKAI II ARCADE PLUS#
Way cheaper too plus you get 16x9 support which is fun.Ĭurious who else has played this and what you thought? For me it’s one of my favorite games on the Saturn and one I come back to time and time again.
I even dare say it's better than Alien Vs Predator, because the roster and moveset is bigger. The reason why the developer team goes wild with the moveset because of energy bar inclusion. I would much rather be playing games like Guardians (Denjin Makai II), Warriors of Fate. I just wish Treasure would loop back around on the franchise and give us a proper sequel.
