Madou Monogatari: Genesis

Madou Monogatari: Genesis, or simply known as Madou Monogatari like two other, is the only Madou Monogatari to appear on the Sega Genesis. It is essentially, a toned down version of Madou Monogatari 1, with minor plot differences here and there. The games battles are like those in the other games, but interestingly take on a side view, much like Madou Monogatari: Hanamaru Dai Youchienji.

Differences between Madou 1

• Instead of dividing the action into three or four windows, it is divided into two wider ones. Additionally, Arle's face is obscuring the top view window.
• As noted above, the battles have a side view style similar to Hanamaru Dai Youchienji.
• There is a compass in the top right corner of the screen, indicating the players walking direction. This was later incorporated into Madou Monogatari: Tower of the Magician, but in that game, the compass lies in the center.
• Arle's face while walking is at a 3/4 view. In the original, her face always faced forward towards the player.
• Like the MSX version, Mamono is the final boss instead of Fudoushi. However, right after Mamono, another final battle with Satan(who is a sillhoute) commences but only on certain circumstances.
• Camus has a bigger role in the game and the player controls him for the first half of the additional battle, and then is given Arle back for the second half.
• Doppelganger Arle has red armor instead of looking exactly like regular Arle with Red eyes.
• There is another doppelganger of Arle except with a different shade of armor who causes trouble called Warle.
• Carbuncle will randomly appear and help Arle during battles.
• The game has more humorous situations than it's MSX/PC98/Gamegear/PCE counterparts, including Arle's Jugemo attack, which shows silly cutscenes when used.
• An example of one possible outcome is a view of Teacher watching the tower, and then an explosion emits from a window. Knowing it's likely Arle, she produces a sweat drop.
• Lala, a new character, makes random appearances.
• The scene where Arle's classmates turn into hideous creatures are taken out.
• A control and timing attack system is used instead of the one you regularly use.
• Camus is also a boss at one point.
• Fudoushi, Cockatrice, Koumorigyaru, Kurogga, People Rot, and a few other characters are taken out.
• Schezo can be used a a spell to scare enemies away.
