The game is also [[Nintendo Hard|relentlessly brutal]]. Character death is [[Final Death|permanent]], and while each character can be revived once (and ''only'' once), it is much more common to restart from the last time you saved if Popolon or Aphrodite die. Furthermore, items are not described in-game, and their function is not always obvious; for example, the Dagger allows you to kill all bats in a room by typing "UMBRELLA," and that's one of the more sane ones. And then there's the Great Demons themselves, who generally deal somewhere between half and all of your life with each attack (and that's ''with'' the Cape that reduces their damage). In short: your typical late-eighties video game.
 
''Maze of Galious'' has gained somewhat of a revival since the release and popularization of the freeware (and now [[Wii Ware]]) game ''[[La -Mulana]]'', as the latter is explicitly inspired by (and even contains significant [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] to) the former.

** Good luck finding out how to cross the water pit in World 2 without a walkthrough. {{spoiler|You need to be carrying the doll, and a bridge will form. The doll can be found by hitting a completely unmarked piece of wall elsewhere in the world until it is destroyed. The only hint that this piece of wall is special is that it makes a different noise when you hit it.}}
* [[Noob Bridge]]: A gate blocks a corridor in the first dungeon, and it's not obvious how to open gates. (The way to do it is to stand next to the gate and hold down the direction control towards it for a certain amount of time.)
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: The game could be made easier by having ''Knightmare'' or ''[[QbertQ*bert]]'' in the MSX's second cartridge slot.
* [[Password Save]]: ''45'' characters long! Luckily, if you have a disk (or are playing the remake) you can press F5 through F9 to save your password to disk instead.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: At the end of the game, you are equipped with: a sword, arrows, two varieties of magic fire, and... [[Stuff Blowing Up|land mines]].
