Also known as
魔神転生

Lead a party of summoned creatures in tactical battles to reclaim a futuristic Tokyo from invading demons.

About Majin Tensei

Majin Tensei is set in a futuristic New Tokyo, where hostile demons have invaded. The player commands a party of summoned creatures to overcome these threats.

Its gameplay is a tactical role-playing experience, adapting elements from the broader Megami Tensei series into this format. Combat occurs on separate screens in a round-based structure, where the player issues movement, magic, and attack orders before battles resolve automatically based on participant parameters.

Character progression involves creating the main hero by distributing initial skill points, then manually improving his attributes upon leveling up.
