Malicious

The main goal of the game is to defeat a dangerous group of creatures known as the Malicious. There is no actual stage progression in Malicious. Instead, all stages start the player off directly in big fights against a boss and his subordinates.

For weapon, the player makes use of a special black cloak that hangs from the main character's neck called the Cloak of Ash (灰の外套 Hai no Gaitou). The cloak, created using technology from the great prophets, changes into a variety of forms. As an example, the cloak can becomes a fist for close range melee attacks. It can also become a projectile weapon, making use of "demon bullets" to target multiple enemies with a lock on.
