Enma Daiō is a hybrid quiz/lie detector game where players must answer a series of random questions given by the in-game character.^[3][4] Depending on the question selected and the player's state, the titular deity either stays calm or becomes angry.^{[citation needed]}

Development and release

Enma Daiō proved to be the most expensive project developed by Toaplan, as former Toaplan composer Tatsuya Uemura stated in a 2009 interview with Japanese publication Floor 25 that it "cost a lot of money".^[5] On November 28, 2020, Uemura revealed to a Twitter user that Truxton composer Masahiro Yuge was involved during the game's development at Toaplan as producer.^[6] The title was distributed exclusively in Japan by Taito in 1993 on two variations; a standard upright variant and a deluxe variant.^[1][3] The title was also showcased to attendees at the 1993 Amusement Machine Show and later at the 1994 AOU Show.^[7][8][9]

Legacy

In more recent years, the rights to Enma Daiō and many other IPs from Toaplan are now owned by Tatsujin, a company named after Truxton's Japanese title that was founded in 2017 by former Toaplan employee Masahiro Yuge, who are now affiliated with arcade manufacturer exA-Arcadia.^{[10][11][12][13][14]} On 7 December 2019, M2 announced they acquired the license to nearly all titles developed by Toaplan for re-release on modern platforms in the future, however Enma Daiō was excluded for multiple reasons.^{[15][16][17][18]}
