RadarPlays - Majyuuou (King of Demons)

Truth be told, we're not sure how it took us this long to dive into Majyuuou. This Japanese Super Famicom game is something of a cult classic, with imaginative enemies and a grueling difficulty that echoes Super Castlevania IV and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. On this episode of RadarPlays Freaky, Lucas, Henry, and Greg do their best to save Abel's daughter using only a pistol and their wits. Sadly, neither of those things seem to be that effective in the face of a laughing spider.

Want to hang out with GamesRadar's editors while taking a look at retro games, new releases, and totally random experiences? RadarPlays is for you. Every Wednesday, we'll help you get over the hump with the blasts from the past in RadarPlays Retro or the bizarre obscurities of RadarPlays Freaky. We'll also release RadarPlays for new releases whenever they come out, so be sure to check back!
