Majuu Ou English translation
魔獣王 · King of Demons · Majyuuou
Aeon Genesis's English patch for Majuu Ou (King of Demons), a dark and bloody Super Famicom platformer about a father fighting his way through hell.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis translated the story scenes and dialogue of Majuu Ou, which the group presents under the English name King of Demons. The cutscenes that frame each stage, where Abel meets friends and enemies on his way to the King of Demons, now read in English, along with the options screen.
About the game
The game itself is a fairly straightforward run-and-shoot platformer, but its setting is unusually grim for the Super Famicom: Abel's journey to save his daughter takes him through ruined cities, overgrown jungles and fiery caverns, and the story leans hard into its horror themes. There is not much text, so the patch mostly matters for following the plot between stages.
Versions
The first release came out in February 2003 and the current version, 1.01, in August 2005.
