Play Majin Tensei II - Spiral Nemesis (Japan) Online

Majin Tensei II: Spiral Nemesis came out for the Super Nintendo in 1995, developed and published by Atlus. It was part of that late-era SNES wave where strategy RPGs were getting deeper and more experimental, and this one definitely carved its own niche. It’s not as widely remembered as some other titles from that time, but it has a dedicated following for good reason.

You control a party of human characters and demons across grid-based maps, exploring a post-apocalyptic Tokyo screen by screen. Your main goal is to survive demon incursions and uncover the truth behind the catastrophe. Key mechanics include recruiting demons through negotiation during combat, fusing them to create stronger allies, and carefully managing positioning to avoid being surrounded. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty is steep; mistakes in placement or negotiation can lead to quick, punishing defeats. It feels tense and tactical, demanding your full attention at every turn.
