Devilman is a 1989 action-adventure platformer developed by ISCO and published by Namco for the Famicom (NES). Based on the classic manga, it blends overworld exploration with side-scrolling combat. Players begin stages as Akira Fudo, navigating environments and talking to NPCs for clues, before transforming into the powerful Devilman to fight through the game's action segments. This version features the complete English fan translation by Snark, allowing international players to fully understand the story and crucial dialogue.
How to Play
The objective is to guide Akira through each chapter, investigating areas to find clues before fighting demonic bosses. In human form, Akira is highly vulnerable, so focus on exploration until the story allows you to transform into Devilman for combat. In the browser emulator, use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump (A button), and X to attack or interact with NPCs (B button). Press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Pay close attention to NPC dialogue, as finding specific characters or information is often required to trigger the ability to transform.
- Your performance and decisions—specifically whether you manage to save Akira's adoptive family throughout the levels—directly affect which of the game's multiple endings you receive.
