Is Boku to Maou still worth playing in 2026?
An action RPG from Zener Works and Sony, known in the West as Okage Shadow King, Boku to Maou follows a shy boy whose shadow is possessed by a pretentious demon king, in an adventure with an offbeat tone and a very singular gothic cartoon art direction. The absurd humour, the unique aesthetic and the stylised turn based combat make for an endearing curiosity. The uneven pace and a simple combat system weigh a little. A gem for fans of atypical RPGs and bold art direction.
