Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Aniel appears in Sector Eridanus as an optional boss in the EX Mission ''Before the holy battle II. ''As a condition for defeat, he asks to be defeated within seven turns. If defeated, he can be fought along with Kazfiel in the EX Mission Before the holy battle III; he demands the average level of the Protagonist and his demons be of 45 or less.

Should both of these missions be completed and Aniel spoken to again with Law alignment, he will open the door to the titular holy battle - the imprisoned Mother Harlot. After her defeat, death or escape, Aniel will praise the Protagonist no matter which path was taken and reward him with the Amanomi Sword, the game's most powerful blade, equippable only with Law alignment.

Devil Survivor
Haniel appears in Devil Survivor as two separate entities. One is Aniel, a demon which can be fused by the player. The other is Anael, which appears as a palette swap of Sariel and is a boss that is usually paired with him.

Anael, along with Sariel, appears in Yuzu Tanikawa's ending, to oppose the protagonist's attempt to escape the lockdown, and in Naoya's ending, to attempt to dissuade the protagonist from staying with Naoya and becoming the King of Bel. Anael also possesses Purging Light, a Mystic attack capable of depleting the MP reserves of all of the player's teams. Like Sariel he joins Metatron in the final battle on Naoya's 8th Day if the protagonist chose not to kill humans.
