YMMV / Maken X

• Anti-Climax Boss: Hakke Yusuf on most routes one of the last Hakke the player will have to fight. Since he frequently spams Saraph Bomber and his other attacks are painfully slow, with one of them even making him a sitting duck during its duration, bringing Bahlinka or Hakke Daru into the fight makes him pathetically easy to take down as both of them are immune to projectile attacks. While both of them lose their bullet-proof ability in Shao, Yusuf's reliance on projectile attacks makes Hakke Andrey one of the best characters for fighting him as a well-timed Rolling Swan can reflect all of Yusuf's projectiles back at him.
• Awesome Music: The Hakke theme and most of the very atmospheric soundtrack, really (both the X and Shao edition)
• Demonic Spiders: The Motor-Buraqs in Mecca. They're too big to jump over (in X) and have a nasty flamethrower attack which comes out fast and has a long range.
• Fashion-Victim Villain: The cast is very diverse and colorful design-wise (designed by Kazuma Kaneko, no less), so there are inevitably some examples of this like Hakke Margaret, a pseudo-nazi dictator who wears a suit with a skeleton print or Hakke Daru, a Mad Scientist who wears what looks like a jockstrap over his shorts, goes topless and has a cage on his head.
• Spiritual Licensee: To the Megami Tensei franchise, what's with the Fukenshi/Hakke conflict being reminiscent of Law/Chaos, and some of Megami Tensei's big guys(such as Kazuma Kaneko and Shoji Meguro) having worked on this.
