Game summary

Daemon Detective Gaiden 2 is an action platformer where you fight enemies and jump your way through obstacles, trying to not only make your way to the finish line with your hide intact, but also retrieve as many of the hidden paintings in each world as humanly possible. Coins obtained in the levels can be spent on a variety of powerups to help even the odds, and every character has an unique ability that alters their gameplay style drastically. As you defeat the bosses of each world, you gradually piece together not only the final boss' lair, but also the dark history behind its creation...

Play Daemon Detective Gaiden II on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Daemon Detective Gaiden II on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
