In Makai Kingdom: Reclaimed and Rebound, you play Lord Zetta, one of the Netherworlds Overlords who accidentally destroyed his own world and turned himself into a book. To fix everything, he has to make his way through the other Netherworlds and have the other Overlords write wishes within his pages — whether they want it or not. Debuted for the PS2 on July 26, 2005, this rerelease adds a new INVITE system, characters, and the additional Petta Mode story expansion.
And in ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman, you are the next in line to become the Absolute Victory Unlosing Ranger. As the titular hero, you must keep coming back after each defeat in the hand of Darkdeath Evilman in order to finally save the prophesied Super Baby and the Earth. Use the deep customization system to outfit your Unlosing Ranger from head to toe, establish your own Hero Training Facility, and fight your way through an array of randomly generated maps to forge your own heroic story. The game was first launched on March 11, 2010, for the PSP.
