This page details one or more prototype versions of Maken X.

A work in progress localization build of Maken X dated February 9, 2000 was released on September 2020 by Hidden Palace as part of Project Deluge. Predating the final build by two months, all of the game's localization including censorship and voice acting has been implemented, although there are still some differences to the retail release.

The logo was redrawn and refined for the final, plus the prototype's "Maken X" is underlined. The erroneous "press start botton" text was fixed for the final build.

General Differences

  • The recordings for the attract mode demos are broken, making the demo player run into walls and attack nothing. The player in the Kanazawa Research Institute dies to the first Sangyokai enemy in the stage, resulting in a Game Over screen. You can hover over either of the two options while the game is in this state, but you are unable to select an option, and it fades away when the demo ends. These gameplay demos were rerecorded for the final game, but the broken ones from this build can still be viewed in the Debug Mode's Level Select.
  • Yusuf is referred to by his Japanese name Youthfu in menus, although he is referred to as Yusuf in cutscenes.
  • The "None" placeholder for characters without a special attack is spelt "Non" in this build.
