This is a game that slipped under the radar of most. While early
trailers for Majin gained some interest, the game was quickly forgotten
under the wealth of bigger budget releases at the time and was lost
amidst obscurity. So why don't I take a look at the game & see if
it'll spark some interest in you? A quick glance at the screenshots will
probably leave you asking if this is somewhat similar to a certain
other game, and while it does share some similar concepts to a game like
The Last Guardian, It doesn't seem to aim for the same heights. So how
does it fare?

First I'm going with my favourite director, Noboru Iguchi (Pictured above on the right, with Rina Takeda at Fantastic Fest) His films tend to be low budget & are pure Exploitation/Grindhouse fun, absurd storylines with all the usual tropes of the grindhouse scene we used to have in the west that offer up some imaginative films (in an extreme sense) Lets take a look at a few...
