About this game
Revelations: The Demon Slayer is the 1999 Game Boy Color re-release of Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible, a 1992 RPG originally published by Sega for the original Game Boy. The game follows El, a young Gaia magic user, who must stop the Gaia Masters from unleashing monsters on the world. Its core mechanic — recruiting and fusing demons into increasingly powerful allies — is a direct adaptation of the Megami Tensei demon negotiation and fusion system. The North American localization by Atlus in 1999 was notable as one of the first colour RPGs published on Game Boy Color in the region.

The Story Behind
The Last Bible series was Atlus's attempt to bring the Megami Tensei universe's demon recruitment and fusion mechanics to portable hardware, targeted at a younger audience with a less dark aesthetic than the main SMT titles. The 1999 GBC re-release coincided with Atlus's growing Western presence through the Persona and other Shin Megami Tensei related titles, and the Revelations branding — shared with Atlus's localization of Persona as Revelations: Persona in 1996 — was part of an attempt to build a Western Megami Tensei brand identity. The North American release was historically notable as among the first GBC color RPGs published there.
Tricks & Tales
Revelations: The Demon Slayer uses a simplified version of the Megami Tensei fusion system — two allied demons can be combined to create a new, more powerful entity. This mechanic, which was radical in the main SMT series, is adapted here into a friendlier interface aimed at Game Boy players. The game's demon roster draws from Atlus's library of mythology-based demon designs. The Revelations branding was used in North America to connect Last Bible with Persona (Revelations: Persona), creating a loose franchise umbrella that predated the international recognition of the Shin Megami Tensei name.
