Majin Tensei (魔神転生, lit. Demon God Reincarnation) is a tactical role-playing game spin-off series from another Altus series, Megami Tensei.

It contains MegaTen-like elements as the whole concept of demons, demon races, and so on is imported into the game, and well as the summoning of demons. Players often comment on the similarities to Fire Emblem, both graphically and gameplay wise.[citation needed]

To date there are 3 games under the series.

Strangely, the menus are in English while the dialogue is Japanese. Gameplay elements from the previous Shin Megami Tensei such as moon phases affecting demons are also present. Equipment and items from the SMT games are also in this game.
