Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible is a 1992 role-playing game for the Game Boy, and the first entry in the Last Bible. It was developed by Multimedia Intelligence Transfer, published by Atlus, and released on December 25, 1992 in Japan. A remaster featuring an expanded story and updated graphics was released for the Game Gear on April 22, 1994. The original release was later ported to the Game Boy Color on May 19, 1999, which featured slightly updated graphics that made full use of the platform's color display. The Game Boy Color version was subsequently released in North America as Revelations: The Demon Slayer in August of that same year.

The Game Gear version of the game received a fan translation and was released on March 31, 2019.

Synopsis

El has just graduated his training in becoming a Gaia Master, a person who can wield the supernatural powers of Gaia, under the tutelage of his teacher, Zodia. While preparing to guide the next generation of students to Mt. Palo for training, beasts suddenly launch an attack upon the neighboring towns. El is urged by the townsfolk to visit the priests at the Lemuria Shrine, who guard one of the planet's four Orichalcum, an essential source of life that the beasts are trying to seize.

As El investigates the crisis and fights the beasts attacking the towns, he eventually meets and befriends Kishe and Uranus, fellow Gaia Masters-in-training. Together they travel the world to protect the Orichalcum and discover the beasts' true motives.

Gameplay

Last Bible has a similar approach and aesthetic to conventional role-playing games, with the lead protagonist El traveling across a world map as he fights Demons (referred to as Monsters) and visits towns and dungeons along the way. Unlike previous Megami Tensei games that had a first-person perspective view, exploration in Last Bible is viewed from an entirely overhead perspective.

While venturing across the world map and in dungeons, El may encounter Monsters that he can either fight or attempt to Negotiate into joining his party. Last Bible has a simplified Negotiation, consisting of a series of predicable questions that El can only respond to with yes or no. Monsters will respond favorably to a certain order of responses, whereupon they will join El and can be called into his party. Including himself, El can keep a stock of up to 12 allies and can lead a full party of 6 at a time. Additionally, El can also send his allies to talk with Monsters, with the result being random.

Through fighting Monsters, El gains experience that will eventually level him up, allowing him to increase one of his stats by one point and potentially learn a new magic skill. At towns, the party are able to access a number of item and equipment shops as well as deposit banks and inns. The party's inventory can carry up to a limit of 28 items, including equipped items, requiring that items be periodically deposited at the bank or be sold. The inn is able to revive and recover the party for a fee per ally. If the party is wiped out, it will not result in a game over but instead transport them to the last inn used and their Macca halved.

As El progresses on his adventure, he eventually meets and allies with Kishe and Uranus. Kishe in particular possesses a special skill called Combine that lets him fuse two Monsters in El's stock anytime.
