Customers are saying

Customers admire the improved graphics and engaging story found in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, along with the addition of voice acting and an immersive atmosphere. However, some find the game's difficulty challenging, and others express concerns about the quality of the soundtrack and the pricing of downloadable content. The remaster's portability is also a frequently praised feature.

    A Great Game Held Back By A Poor Remaster

    Long loading screens, bad ost compression and glitches plauge this release. Washed out shadows, and you have to pay for the dlc. Some animations drop the framerate to single digits. The PS4 release isn't much better but it does have better loading screens and better framerate. The story is one of the best in the SMT franchise, if you haven't played the game, then even with the issues I listed above, you should play this game, SMT is a turn based demon collecting game that is hard as nails. It breaks conventional tropes in the sense that you are always sacrificing your demons for stronger demons instead of collecting a team early on and training them through the rest of the game. Give this game a chance even if you get the PC version with mod support.

    The game came on time and was the perfect birthday gift. The only downside , the compressed music from the ps2 version, is on the remaster version.

    Having never played the game when it came out on the PS2, I'm really loving it. The pacing is really well done; you have a lot of battles mixed together with the cinematics and story. There is a fair amount of dark humor involved. If you like turn-based JRPG combat combined with a Pokemon-esque mechanic of capturing demons to use in battle, you will enjoy this game.

    Ive never played a Shin Megami game before but ive been enjoying this remaster so far. The story and mechanics can be a little obtuse but learning a game is half the fun of it. The graphics have been upresed but thats about it.

    Such a good port from PS2 to switch. Great quality. Screw the hater taters. It's a gripping and interesting plot. SAVE YOUR GAME TONS!! Don't forget to save any chance you get. This is a remaster, not a remake so it's definitely the same style as classic games in terms of mechanics. With that being said, if you love anime, angels, and demons, classic game style with HD graphics; then you'd love this game!

    An excellent Hd remaster of a great Shin Megami Tensei game. If you played Persona 4 and/or 5 then you should recognize all of the demons that you can recruit to your team.
