Maken Shao is an enhanced remake of the "first-person slasher" Maken X.
In the near future, USA and China are the principal powers trying to get total control over the world. A special research laboratory has developed Maken, an ancient weapon that can connect to people's minds and change them. By using Maken's mental powers, the hero can transform into other characters, and it is up to him to decide which side he will join in the conflict.
Kei Sagami, a normal sixteen year old girl, visits dad at the Kanazawa Science Lab and subsequently tangles herself in an experiment gone awry. A monster kidnaps Kei's father and kills his lab cohorts. A sentient sword known as Maken (demon sword), under development at the lab, bonds with Kei and the two go on a globe spanning adventure.
This version has updated graphics, and switches the perspective to third-person. An additional lower difficulty level was added. Characters can now carry items rather than automatically using them when found. The new "Image Flare System" allows the player to extract skills from images obtained by the various playable characters, further customizing them.
The first limited edition of Maken Shao ships with a special holographic sticker and the blood-red cover shown.
