Your three monster forms include a red harpy-like creature that attacks with wide-range boomerangs, a green lizard creatures that attacks with lasers, and a blue dragon which attacks with a powerful breath attack. Each form of your character has a double jump, a regular attack, and a special attack that can be initiated by charging up the regular one.

The gameplay take the form of a side-scrolling shooter as well as a platformer. This works in your favor, though, by making him a smaller target. The sprites seem relatively small in comparison with other games on the system, especially Abel's. The visuals, even with their vibrant color pallet, also seem to contribute to this mood. With the exception of the mini-boss music with a rock 'n roll sort of style that sticks out like a sore thumb, the music seems to convey the dark, foreboding mood of the game quite well. The graphics and sound are quite good, though nothing the system couldn't handle. Upon defeating the first stage, Abel comes across a crystal that is capable of transforming him into one of three monsters, each one with different capabilities. After giving Bayer the old one-two at the beginning, Abel discovers that his wife did not make it, but her spirit decides to assist him on his journey (acting as somewhat of an option until she buzzes right off after you lose all of your health for the first time) to rescue his daughter. The story revolves around a man named Abel (biblical symbolism FTW) and the kidnapping of his wife and daughter by Bayer, his former friend who sold his soul to the devil, for the purpose of sacrificing them in order to revive the King of Demons. While by no means a perfect game, it still provides a great gaming experience and can be considered worthy of 'hidden gem' status.

However, I do believe I've found the perfect subject for one, a game that I've been playing quite a bit recently on which I would like to share my thoughts: Majuu Ou (or King of Demons), a Japan-only game for the Super Nintendo (or more fittingly, the Japanese Super Famicom). King of Demons (english translation) Review by: jmascis14 - 8.4/10 Majuu Ou (SNES/Super Famicom) Well, it's been a good while since I last wrote a review.
