Hard as nails turn based combat with demons to use and collect. Story is a bit shakier than prior entries, but gameplay is still just as solid.

Arrived earlier than anticipated. SMTV is a challenging, more mechanics-based JRPG that fans coming over from the Persona series will feel, fundamentally, right at home with.
While as of writing there has been less narrative than expected, the game is beautiful even when played on Switch Lite and runs well. Gameplay-wise, bosses are expected to be tough, though random encounters with enemies can also prove to be worthy obstacles in their own right and demand your attention and concentration especially when moving into new territory. Proper planning and understanding of stats, strengths, and weaknesses are crucial.
A difficult and methodical experience that I am overall delighted with.

Great and innovative game. Visualizing it’s previous games, this game has provided plenty of corrections to simplify the process of demon creating meanwhile keeping the game difficulty high enough to make it challenging. Of course it always has save spots that require you to run a bit back to the location, but that is helped by the recall function which is honestly something I forget about but is good.

If you enjoy rpg or the previous Shin Megami Tensei games you'll love this one. The graphics are some of the best on the Switch and the game is incredibly engrossing. As you play you realize how well the game was balanced as you never really feel to overpowered or under powered. It's a great story with great pacing so you'll be left wishing there was more of the game even after spending the equivalent of days playing it.
