shin megami tensei v reviews

With Atlus having just lifted the embargo for Shin Megami Tensei V, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the early reviews.

The RPG is a bit of landmark title as fans have been waiting quite a long time for its release. Atlus first announced Shin Megami Tensei V during the unveiling of the Switch way back in January 2017. Now in just a few days, fans around the world will be able to go through the entire experience. It follows the 2013 game Shin Megami Tensei IV, though we also saw the sequel Shin Megami Tensei IV apocalypse in 2016.

Shin Megami Tensei’s illustrious history has been unparalleled since its debut in the 90s. It has since grown and evolved, though the changes mostly come from the detailed environments that captivate and immerse you just as much as the narrative. These games constantly highlight the question of morality and philosophy, what’s right and wrong, and good versus evil. It’s hard to believe now that Shin Megami Tensei V is finally here and real, almost five whole years since its announcement prior to Switch seeing its launch. What’s not so hard to believe (or maybe it is, depending on how you look at it) is that the game has not only been worth the wait, but it’s also an exceptional new JRPG.

Atlus has released another daily demon video in preparation for Shin Megami Tensei V. These videos each show off a demon that will appear in the upcoming game, offering a new look at their updated appearance and abilities. The latest featured demon is the Brute demon Sui-Ki, check it out with the video below, along with some additional details regarding its real-world lore.
