What players say
Most players enjoy this action take on Shin Megami Tensei for its combat, story and music, though a crash-and-load bug and a dated feel put some off.
Most reviewers recommend the game and many call it a faithful yet heavily improved remake of the 2006 original. Players praise the action combat with demon summoning, the detective-style mystery plot with its twists, the soundtrack and the Taisho-era setting. Several say the new combat and quality-of-life changes make the older PS2 game feel rough by comparison. The main complaints are a bug where the game can crash and then refuse to load again, which some say has persisted since release, and a bright white transition flash that some find painful. Others find the combat simplistic or button-mashy, the late game repetitive with its boss refights, and the visuals too vibrant for the original's mood. A few note the game is short and better bought on sale. Reviews from the last year are much the same as the older helpful ones.
Praised
- Action combat with demons
Players find the real-time fights with summoned demons more engaging than turn-based battles, with skills like Devil's Bane and Spirit Slash adding depth.
Many players - Mystery story and characters
The detective plot takes surprising twists, and reviewers say the cast is charming and well written, with the story gaining strength in its second half.
Many players - Soundtrack and atmosphere
Players praise the music as a highlight, and the dark Taisho-era atmosphere and unique setting are often mentioned as strengths.
Many players - Remake quality and quality-of-life
Players say the remaster goes well beyond a polish, with better combat, HD cutscenes, uncompressed audio and modern conveniences that make the older version feel clumsy.
Many players
Criticised
- Simple, button-mashing combat
Players find the combat shallow, with few combos and the same attacks used all game, and some struggle with the parry and counter timing.
Some players - Dated design and repetitive late game
Players call parts of the game dated, from fixed camera angles and tedious early chapters to a finale that makes you refight story bosses.
Some players - Crashes and loading bug
Players report the game freezing or crashing and then refusing to load, sometimes losing progress, and say it has not been fixed.
A few players - Bright flashing transitions and visual changes
A white transition flash is painful for photo-sensitive players, and some miss the muted look and unique textures of the original.
A few players
- Who it suits
- Players who enjoy Shin Megami Tensei or Persona and want a more action-focused take, or fans of detective stories and the Raidou character.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want deep, challenging combat or are sensitive to bright flashing effects, and anyone who wants to avoid the reported crash bug, should skip it or wait.
