Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker

Atlus has released another Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker trailer ahead of the game’s North American launch next week. Today’s video highlights Break Record’s battle system. You can watch it below.

The Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker 3DS theme is now available for purchase in North America. It can be yours for only 99 cents.

Atlus’ new theme features portraits of all the main characters, key artwork wallpaper, folder art, and one of the Shoji Meguro-composed songs.

Take a look at the theme in action below.


Atlus has put up a new video in which the company unboxes Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. Take a look at it below.

All first-print copies of Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker will come with a limited edition CD soundtrack and decal set.

In a new press release, Atlus provides plenty of information about the downloadable content in Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker.

All DLC in the game come in the form of a Free Battle, and if you’re successful, your party will reap the benefits. However, each battle except the Beginner’s Brawl scale incrementally with your protagonist’s level. This means that obtaining the rewards won’t be so easy.

Here’s what you should know about the “FreeLC”, which will be permanently free:

Beginner’s Brawl — This is the one Free Battle that won’t scale with level, so make sure to tackle it early on. The enemies are a little on the weak side, but can still pack a punch if you’re not careful. Defeating them will earn you some quick Macca (demonic currency) to blow at the Demon Auction and get your team started off right.

Lost Demon Rescue — A persuadable demon is caught in the middle of two hordes. If you can protect the demon and survive the onslaught, the demon will join your party! Use it to bolster your ranks or keep it for fusion fodder. (Not to mention that some of the demons you’re up against have useful skills to crack!)

Next up is paid content. All of the content below is priced at 99 cents (CA$1.49):

Macca Makes an Escape — This battle poses a chase scenario. Demons are fleeing with their pockets stuffed with Macca, and it will be up to the player to run them down and beat the payout out of them. The demons are carrying three times the usual amount of Macca, and even though they’re fleeing, they’ll put up a good fight if you catch them.

All Skills Must Go! — Scattered around the battlefield are memory sticks loaded with powerful skills for your party. But the demons around have their eyes on them too, and will try and abscond with the memory sticks. This is one situation when you’re going to want to make sure to use non-combat skills that slow down enemies and/or speed up your party, because nothing is as infuriating as watching a Moh Shuvuu fly off with a powerful healing skill.

Let the Demons Grow — This is an old-fashioned free-for-all battle. These demons are loaded with extra experience, so systematically pick them off to reap EXP rewards and level your entire party.

Addonetarium — This battle is for higher-level characters, but is hugely beneficial towards the middle of the game when you can start implementing add-ons to your fusion. Basically, the add-ons give the fused demon a specific bonus, and can mean the difference between an average demon and all-powerful killing machine.

Finally, here’s the DLC launch schedule:

May 5 – Game launch, Beginner’s Brawl, Macca Makes an Escape!
May 12 – All Skills Must Go!, Lost Demon Rescue, Let the Demons Grow
May 19 – Addonetarium

Fans can also look forward to SpotPass content that will be sent out over the same period. Players will be able to obtain new demons to fuse as well as party skills to use in battle.

Atlus’ latest trailer for Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker shows off the game’s Demon Auctions. Watch the video above, and check out an overview of the feature below.

If you haven’t put two and two together yet, Macca is the demonic currency in SMT: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, and a vital resource for becoming the high bidder in Demon Auctions. The entire concept of being able to pick up deadly monsters from eBay-style auctions may terrify you, but trust me, you’ll be doing it a lot. See, unlike SMTIV or Persona Q, the only way to get new demons is by buying them or fusing them. And you can only fuse so many before you run out. But no problem, just crack open the demon auction app and get yourself a whole new complement of demons!

Each demon will come with ratings – the more stars the better stats and skills it comes with, meaning a strong ally for immediate use, or eventual fusion fodder down the road. There’s also special auctions for exceptional demons, but make sure that you have enough Macca on hand so you don’t get outbid by that jerk Carol J (or any other bidders).

We’re dealing with another Twitch video, so auto-play is at hand. Head past the break for all of the footage!

Atlus has shared a bunch of information regarding SpotPass and StreetPass support in Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. All of the details are posted below, and you can find a new round of screenshots above.

Demon summoners in Devil Survivor 2 will have some wireless advantages once the game launches. Thanks to the Nintendo 3DS system’s SpotPass and StreetPass features, players will be able to unlock and advance their demons in new ways!

SpotPass
We’ll have several waves of SpotPass content rolling out once the game launches (schedule still TBD), but the immediate advantage will be a whole ton of new demons for players to fuse. So if you were looking for your precious Tyrant Lucifer Frost or Wilder Catoblepas, they’ll be rolling out to players via SpotPass. Another bonus going out via SpotPass will be some skill add-ons. One of the hallmarks of the Devil Summoner series is cracking skills that are assigned from a communal skill pool, meaning players can’t use the same skill on more than one character. Via SpotPass, players will be able to get a helpful magic skill, a powerful normal skill, and a recommended physical skill added to their skill pool. But that’s all we’re telling you about them!
