Legend of Makai (Japanese: Makai Densetsu) is an arcade platform video game developed by NMK and released by Jaleco in 1988.
Legend of Makai is an action/adventure platformer based in a fantasy setting. The player controls a young warrior whose quest is to rescue a princess from an evil wizard. The warrior starts off with only a sword, but can purchase other weapons and magical items from shops. The gameplay consists finding one's way through non-linear levels, using keys to open doors and killing or avoiding various enemies. The player has a fixed amount of time to complete each level.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Legend of Makai on their September 1, 1988 issue as being the twenty-first most-successful table arcade unit of the month. [1] Legend of Makai was favourably reviewed by Power Play's Martin Gaksch, who praised the game's mix of action and adventure, but also criticized the graphics. [2]
