Last Armageddon is a 1988 Japanese RPG developed by Brain Grey for Japanese home computers. It was later ported to PC Engine CD and Famicom in 1990.After an unknown apocalyptic event wipes out all life on Earth, demonic monsters leave the underworld hoping to take the planet for themselves. However, they encounter unexpected resistance in the form of an army of aliens from a far off planet who have come to claim Earth as a new colony world. The aliens give the monsters an ultimatum: submit or be eradicated. The monsters immediately decide they are having none of this and prepare to take the fight to the aliens. It's then that 108 stone slabs erupt from the earth. Written on them are cryptic messages about humanity's extinction and hints that the truth can be found at the mysterious Tower of No Return.The monsters assemble a group representing each demonic race - Orc, Harpy, Skeleton, Giant Snake, Gargoyle, Goblin, Cyclops, Slime, Golem, Dragonewt, Minotaur, and Androsphinx. The 12 set off to battle the alien invaders to decide the successor to Earth and to discover the truth behind humanity's destruction.The game has never been translated or released outside Japan. Brain Grey's dissolution prevented any direct sequels from being made, but developer Pandora Box led by the game's writer later made a Spiritual Successor named After Armageddon Gaiden.

Evil Versus Evil: The conflict between monsters and aliens could be described as this in the first half of the game. The aliens are genocidal tyrants, but the monsters don't exactly have any morals to speak of and are fighting just because the aliens are muscling in on their turf.

Non-Indicative Name: The Androsphinx; not only is it visibly not a Sphinx of any kind, appearing as a naked human woman in her base form (although she becomes more monstrous as she evolves), but an androsphinx in particular is explicitly a male sphinx (the prefix "andro" literally means "male", with female sphinxes known as "gynosphinxes").

Tomato in the Mirror: About halfway into the game, the monsters reach the top of the Tower of No Return and learn that they're not the monsters of ancient myth that they believed they were but were actually created by humans before they went extinct. They were created as representations of humanity's sins and vices, and are implored by messages left behind to learn from humanity's mistakes so that they won't repeat them and destroy themselves as humanity did.

Stat Grinding
 Last Armageddon (Video Game) / int_36736927
comment
Stat Grinding: Instead of gaining EXP from killing enemies and leveling up the traditional way, your party members gain individual EXP for each stat by taking actions related to that stat (attacking physically to raise strength, using spells to raise magic, etc.). Enough EXP increases that stat's "level". Your monsters do have overall character levels as well, but they're determined by the overall EXP they have among all their stats, and its only direct effect is your monster attaining new evolutions at certain character levels.

Lack of Empathy
 Last Armageddon (Video Game) / int_658f7193
comment
Lack of Empathy: It's stated that the monsters are lacking in emotions, especially ones like compassion. It's implied that the reason humanity was destroyed was that they lost contact with many of their emotions and destroyed themselves as a result. The monsters were made as representations of humanity's inner demons. The monsters' main goal for much of the game's second half is exploring the ruins of human civilization, finding objects that spark emotions within them and cause them to gain the emotions of love and kindness.

Fake Memories: Upon reaching the top of the Tower of No Return, the monsters learn that they were created by humans and that all their stories of having fought with humans in the far past and memories of living in the underworld for hundreds of years are fake. It was all implanted in them by the humans so they would act out their role as demons.

Our Sphinxes Are Different: Androsphinx. In her default form she's the least monstrous looking of any of the party, appearing to just be a human woman with headwear similar to that of the Egyptian sphinx. As she evolves she becomes less human-like, first growing wings, then turning into a manticore and chimera.

comment
LEGO Genetics: The monsters are able to inject other monsters' DNA into themselves, which causes them to evolve into stronger forms that carry the gameplay traits and abilities of the monster they took DNA from. These fused forms tend to look very strange, sometimes nothing like either of the original monsters, although there are patterns like forms with Skeleton's DNA usually having skull faces.

Infinity +1 Sword: The Azoth Sword. It's the only weapon to be gotten through an event instead of crafting, and it has way higher attack power than any other weapon. In earlier versions of the game you could potentially get a copy for every party member. The PC Engine version balanced it more by letting only the Orc and Goblin use it.

Living Is More than Surviving
 Last Armageddon (Video Game) / int_cff33981
comment
Living Is More than Surviving: The idea is touched upon in the recordings in the Tower of No Return. The records on the age of dinosaurs say that humans discovered a way to read the memories of dinosaurs through their fossils. From it they found out that the dinosaurs wished to die because they were sick of their monotonous lives, and were grateful for the Ice Age wiping them out. The recordings imply that such a feeling of emptiness is an inevitable part of evolution, and was a factor in humanity destroying itself.

Evolution Power-Up
 Last Armageddon (Video Game) / int_d991766a
comment
Evolution Power-Up: A major gimmick to the game is that your monster party members evolve and change forms as they level up. Their first three evolutions are linear progressions into natural extensions of their base forms. For their fourth and fifth evolutions, the monster takes DNA from another party member of your choice, giving them the inherent traits and abilities of the monster they took DNA from. You can choose between three options for their fourth evolution and two options for their fifth, giving each monster six different potential final forms.
