Makai Tenshō

## Description

Amakusa Shirō, leader of the Shimabara Rebellion, was put to death by the
Tokugawa Shogunate. However, in his final moments, he renounced his god, and
has been resurrected as a demon, bent on destroying the Tokugawa Shogunate and
all who support it. To this end, he has brought back several warlords and
swordsmen of his time, serving his every whim. Yagyū Jūbei, a gifted young
swordsman, scarcely escapes Shirō’s attempt on his life. Discovering that his
sister has been kidnapped, he sets out to put an end to Shirō’s plans.

_Makai Tensh ō_ is an dungeon-crawler RPG based on the 1967 novel of the same
title by Fūtarō Yamada. Similar to Chunsoft’s Mysterious Dungeon series, the
player controls the hero Yagyū Jūbei through randomly-generated floors, which
are filled with enemies, items, and traps, searching for the exit and
attempting to survive. Movement and actions are turn-based, with all enemies
taking a turn at the same time as the player. Weapons will degrade with use,
though new ones of varying types can be found within the dungeons. After
clearing a certain number of floors, the player reaches a village, where they
may rest and save.
