Kishin Dōji Zenki - Battle Raiden is a little known side scrolling
action game by Hudson Soft. It is based on a japanese animation
series featuring a red haired demon prince named Zenki and a cute
girl priestess Enno Chiaki. Zenki is most of the time in
the shape of a young silly boy who spends much of his time pestering
Chiaki. However, his true form is a powerful demon warrior who can
be awaken to affront and defeat the seeds of evil planted across Japan.
These seeds are in the shape of magic eyeballs that can turn humans into
murderous demons. Zenki starts in his boy form and can only battle demons
and other monsters with his bare hands. The controller's shoulder buttons get
him to parry or rush in one direction. Then, passed the second half of
each stage, he turns into his adult-demon form and finally uses his
vast and incredible panoply of weapons. He can now use fire-punches,
charge up fireball attacks or powerful balls of energy. By pressing down
and punch, he can even unleash a special twister attack. Finally,
he can consume some of his life bar to fire an impressive ball of flame
engulfing everything on its path. Stages are vast and special shrines
scattered around each area can trigger all sort of events when destroyed, such as
special items, unlock doors, create bridges etc...

Kishin Dōji Zenki, the animation series, is full of cliches
of the genre so popular in the 90s. Zenki, in his young boy
form, is predictable and his relation with Chiaki unsurprising.
However, this game, while I wouldn't call this a hit by any means, is
yet quite enjoyable. Controls respond well and some enemies can be
quite impressive and really well drawn. Curiously, this
game can be quite cheap, I do not know how long this is
going to last though, but until it does, I would personally
advice you to hunt down one.
