    SMT Strange Journey is a RPG published by Atlus originally developed over a decade ago for the Nintendo DS. This title is a complete remake of said game for the new Nintendo 3DS. I'm only a few hours in, but am impressed by the updated graphics and musical score. The original Nintendo DS game was massive and took many hours to complete, and I'm expecting the same from this updated title as well.

    I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical of the new character they added but they compliment the story quite well actually, plus they added a whole new dungeon that's perfect for training your demons. This game is by far my favorite of the entire series, they really make use of that M rating. You get to witness the true savagry of demons, and man. This game was worth every penny I spent on it.

    This is an updated remake, and I did play the original that came out 10 years ago. This is worth getting for the update since there are new story lines and demons added. Much richer game play this time around, and includes the Japanese voice acting. Sadly, no English voice acting.

    If you enjoy first person RPG games with a challenge, this is up there with the Etrian Odyssey series. Cool story, nice graphics and a challenge. I enjoyed this on the DS and the 3DS version was a nice way to go through this game again.

    There are problems with the core game in how it isn't user friendly, but as a fan of the original, I am happy this game got a rerelease. I'm mostly a fan of the aesthetic and story structure. Only the hardcore and those who've played everything else need apply.

    I was never able to play the original, so this was a nice surprise release. The additional improvements are nice and help offset the pace a bit. Just be aware that the introduction can take about an hour to get through.

    Classic Shin Megami Tensei Dungeon Crawler

    Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is a remake of a spin-off title that was initially released on the Nintendo DS in 2010, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. Although this game is played as a dungeon crawler and differs from the usual play style of the more recent Shin Megami Tensei releases on the Nintendo 3DS, it does a good job of returning the series to its beginnings when the games were all dungeon crawlers. The main difference between this game and the original 2010 version is the addition of an extra dungeon and additional endings that can be unlocked based on your interactions with the newly introduced character, Alex. Pros: - Adjustable difficulty settings. - Ability to save almost anywhere at any time. - Improved dungeon designs. - Extended campaign mode that offers several hours of gameplay. Cons: - The likelihood of successful demon negotiations are more based on your character's "alignment" (lawful, neutral, chaotic) rather than your ability to make the right choices. - No Turn Press bonuses for hitting an enemy's weakness. - Co-Op Attacks depend on your demons' alignments. While not perfect, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux offers a long and satisfying campaign that includes several endings while making use of its several enhancements. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the series or who is interested in it.

    The only reason I bought this when I did is that it was on clearance and the prices for all the Shin Megami games are skyrocketing. Like, why is shin IV and Apocalypse so expensive? It's crazy I tell you. Every Shin game is good from what I have played. Definitely worth getting if you like this series.

    This is an RPG for hardcore gamers only, it is an extremely difficult turn-based RPG. SMT strange Journey is a rewarding experience with a very cool story that combines occult with sci-fi.

    A better Strange Journey

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    SMT is what Atlus demon negotiation JRPG games used to fall under on tell Persona branched out into its own thing and both series split off. Where as Persona is the more well know and casualized/easier games to get into the SMT series is the harder more challenging games that require a lot more thought and strategy put into them. It also happens to be the more forgotten series. But Atlus is trying to rectify that by bringing back one of there best DS games Strange Journey with new gameplay features a whole new character new story and plot points more demons to add to your party it's almost like it's a brand new game. And with SMT mainline entry coming to the switch it seems like the series is finally gonna get the love it deserves. So pick this game up and enjoy a more darker JRPG from Atlus you'll thank me later.

    From its demon collecting and killer combat to its sci-fi South Pole setting, Strange Journey Redux is a fantastically engrossing adventure, and an excellent reason to get lost in your 3DS once again.

    One of the best jrpgs with one of the most original plots gets a remake but with one issue, no dub. Disappointing but I guess atlus wasn’t going to spend the big bucks on a port of a ds game in 2018.
