Gaming's most famous gargoyle, the 'Red Arremer', is back and this time
it’s the evil King Breager who is in need
of a good roasting. He's the only thing standing
in Red’s way of becoming the legendary
'Red Blaze'.
Red Arremer II follows exactly the
same premise as the first Red
Arremer (1990): it presents a handful of
enjoyable side-on action scenes held together
by brief overhead RPG-style exploring and
upgrading.
Thanks to the technological upgrade
the overall impact has distinctively improved: the character’s jumping and flying is
smoother and far more responsive, while the larger
(colour) playfields make the action a lot more
coherent.
A Game Boy version of the same game, known as
'Makaimura Gaiden - The Demon Darkness' was
released a year later in 1993. The port is perfectly decent,
but it strikes as almost identical to the 1990 Game
Boy original. Out of the three it is easily
the Famicom game that comes out trumps: it
is a simple yet pleasant little action adventure
title, that doesn't overstay its welcome.
A great series that will really mature in its
final chapter, the SFC Demon’s
Blazon (1994).

Excellent
sequel to the Game Boy Red
Arremer (1990). As you'd
expect by the hardware upgrade
the gameplay is much smoother,
and the visuals much easier
to handle.
A great game, really worth
a try.
