Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible is a 1992 role-playing game for the Game Boy, and the first entry in the Last Bible series. It was developed by Multimedia Intelligence Transfer and published by Atlus, and released on December 25, 1992 in Japan.

Two years after its original release, the game received a remaster for the Game Gear, developed by SIMS and released on April 22, 1994 in Japan. This version introduced an expanded story with a new dungeon and ending, as well as updated graphics and a new soundtrack. The original version of Last Bible later received an enhanced port to the Game Boy Color on March 19, 1999 in Japan; this version remains mostly faithful to the original Game Boy game with minimal changes.

The Game Boy Color version was subsequently released in North America as Revelations: The Demon Slayer on August 30 of that same year. After Jack Bros. and Revelations: Persona, Last Bible was the third Megami Tensei game officially released in English, and the second and last to bear the localized "Revelations" title.

The world has been besieged by Demons and it's up to you to stop them. However, you're going to have to enlist the help of those very same Demons to return peace to the land. Talk to them, recruit them, and fight alongside over 100 of them to defeat the forces of evil. And when that's not enough, fuse them together to create new and more powerful creatures.

Synopsis

Long before humans existed, godly beings had wielded the powers of telepathy, teleportation, and telekinesis at their disposal. This supernatural ability was called Gaia.

In the present, El graduates his Gaia training under the tutelage of his teacher, Zodia. El's graduation marks a turning point following the sudden disappearances of the Gaia Masters Michael and Lucifer two years ago. As El and Zodia prepare to train the next generation of Gaia students, waves of Beasts unexpectedly descend from the sky and stage an assault to steal the Orichalcum, the planet's sources of life. El is urged to investigate the Beasts' motives. Along the way, he eventually meets and befriends fellow Gaia trainees Kishe and Uranus, as they join forces to stop the Beasts and protect the Orichalcum.

Gameplay

Last Bible has a similar approach to conventional role-playing games, where the lead protagonist El travels across an overworld as he fights Beasts and visits towns and dungeons along the way. Unlike Atlus's previous Megami Tensei games in the franchise, which predominately featured first-person perspective dungeon crawling, exploration in Last Bible is viewed from an entirely overhead perspective.

El may encounter Beasts that he can either fight for experience and Macca, or attempt to Negotiate into joining his party. Last Bible has a simplified Negotiation system, consisting of a series of preset, orderly questions that El can only respond to with yes or no. Beasts of different Groups will respond favorably to a certain order of responses given to a prompt, whereupon they will join El and can be called into his active party. Over the course of the game's story, the characters Kishe and Uranus will eventually join El's party as permanent party members. Allies can also be sent to speak with Beasts, with the success of recruiting being random.

Through combat, El, Kishe, and Uranus gain experience that will gradually level them up, increasing their HP and MP, and allowing them to increase one of their five main stats by one point. They will also eventually learn new magic skills at certain MP thresholds. Towns usually have access to stores, where the party can purchase items or equipment, as well as inns and sometimes banks. In the Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions, each permanent party member carries their own inventory bag with space for 8 items each. Additional items and Macca can be stored at town banks. If the party is wiped out in battle, it will not result in a game over, but instead transport them back to the last inn used and halve their current Macca on-hand.

Beast Fusions can be performed using Kishe's Comback skill. This may sometimes result in a Mutation, the series's version of a Fusion Accident, with an unexpected combination result. There are some Beasts that can only be obtained this way.

The Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions have a VS Mode, where players can fight each other's parties over a Game Link Cable connection.

Version Differences

Game Gear

Main article: Last Bible (Game Gear)

The Game Gear version of Last Bible predominately introduces an expanded and revised story, supplementing the game's narrative with additional details and cutscenes not present in the original release, as well as the addition of a new final dungeon and ending. This version also features updated graphics to compliment the Game Gear's higher graphical capability, as well as a new unique soundtrack.

Game Boy Color

The Game Boy Color version of Last Bible is closely based on the original Game Boy release in content and story, and thus lacks the revisions and omissions present in the Game Gear version. While this version remains mostly faithful to the original release, some minimal changes were implemented:

• The Game Boy Color version makes full use of the handheld's color display. Graphics now display in multiple colors when played on the handheld.
• When played on the Super Game Boy, a custom border can be used.
• Character sprites and some map tiles were redrawn.
• The following Beasts were given new unique sprites: Balam, Garuda, Gomora, Ladon, Rarung, Snake Woman, Zord H, and Zord M.
  • Jabber and Wings now share a new sprite, resembling a bird-like Demon.
• The lead party member no longer wraps around walls when touching them.
• The screen no longer flashes when entering a battle while playing on the Game Boy Color. The screen will still flash if played on the Super Game Boy.
• Kishe and Uranus now have their default equipment already equipped on them when they join the party.
• Some gameplay mechanics were revised, compared to the Game Boy version:
  • Beasts drop a higher Macca and EXP yield.
  • Certain bosses have increased HP values and level adjustments.
  • Certain equipment have adjusted attack or defense power.
  • The Rune item is now sold for 7500 Macca, instead of the previous 750 cost.
