Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse “Fight to Survive” trailer, battle tips
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 0 comments
Atlus uploaded a new Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse trailer today that highlights the RPG’s battle system. Check it out below.
Atlus has also passed along some tips about battles – read the full rundown below.
1. Strike First – Tokyo is crawling with demons, so if you see one (or a hundred) while exploring be sure to strike first. If you land a successful first hit, you’ll be allowed to attack first during the battle sequence. While this doesn’t sounds super important, preemptive strikes can mean the difference between life and death. Seriously, death is around every turn in this game, so striking first is a must!
2. Exploit Weaknesses – Fighting demons may seem like a daunting task, but it’s not too difficult once you get into a rhythm. Attacks come in eight classes — Physical, Gun, Fire, Ice, Electric, Force, Light, Dark — and must be used wisely during every encounter. That’s because demons have an elemental weakness that can be exploited to deal devastating damage. For example, battling a gaggle of fire class demons? Don’t fret! It’s nothing that a little Bufu or Raging Blizzard can’t handle. Make sure to remember each demon’s weakness to maximize damage output!
