Maken X (魔剣Ｘ) is an adventure game for the Sega Dreamcast played in the first person perspective. Maken reffers to the sword with special abilities that also allows the game's protagonist, Kay Sagami, to brainjack certain opponents to take control of them. Much of the staff behind Maken X are also responsible for one of Atlus' flagship series Shin Megami Tensei. It also saw a remake on the Playstation 2 under the name Maken Shao: Demon Sword which makes significant gameplay changes such as making the game play from a third person perspective. Sega was not involved with the Playstation 2 version. The story was also adapted for a manga series under the name Maken X Another.
