Demon's Crest ( Demon's Blazon: Makaimura Monshou-hen, "Demon World Village Crest Chapter") for the SNES seemed to take inspiration from Mega Man X, with Firebrand morphing into new gargoyles with varying strengths and weaknesses (similar to X's armor upgrades). Gargoyle's Quest II ( Red Arremer II) is a direct sequel for the NES. The first game, Gargoyle's Quest ( Red Arremer: Makaimura Gaiden), is a rare example of an Action RPG for the Game Boy. It spawned a spin-off series starring a Red Arremer named Firebrand, loosely known as Gargoyle's Quest. After a whole decade of no new games in the series or its spinoffs, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection ( Kaettekita Makaimura, Return of Demon World Village) was revealed for the Nintendo Switch at the end of 2020 and released in February 2021, returning to 2D graphics and combining aspects of several of the original games into one package. These tend to include more projectiles and armor upgrades for Arthur, while maintaining the series' trademark difficulty, i.e. Weapons have limited uses and will disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too much or when the player moves to a new area.Sequels, spinoffs, and cameosThe game received sequels in Ghouls 'n Ghosts ( Daimakaimura, "Great Demon World Village" in Japanese) for arcades and the Sega Genesis, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts ( Choumakaimura, "Super Demon World Village") for the SNES, Makaimura for WonderSwan, Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins ( Gokumakaimura, "Extreme Demon World Village") for the PSP, and Ghosts'n Goblins: Gold Knights and Gold Knights II ( Makaimura: Kishi Retsuden, Demon World Village: Knight Chronicles) for iOS.

A thrown enemy can be tossed at another for additional damage. When an enemy is grabbed, the player can perform a grab attack by pressing the attack button or perform a throw by tilting the joystick left or right. When two players play, they can perform team-based special moves.Įnemies can be grabbed simply by walking into one of them. The player also can perform a jump attack. The final blow of the combo can be changed to a throw if the player moves the joystick in the opposite direction just before landing it. Pressing the attack button repeatedly when attacking an enemy or multiple enemies will cause the player character to perform a combo.

The controls for Guardians consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping respectively. Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters, while energy bars are displayed for special moves. Guardians(Denjin Makai II) can be played by up to two players simultaneously.
