Shin Megami Tensei is multipolar! Beyond the Law-Chaos axis, it also has the Light-Dark axis.
It's less well defined than Law-Chaos, though, and it's pretty straightforward. Light tends to be good and Dark is evil.
For example, Sraosha and Amateru are Light-Law, while Demiurge and Seth are Dark-Law. On the other side, you have Ares and Shiva as Light-Chaos and Beelzebub and Loki as Dark-Chaos.
