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.

Apart from some slowdown in surprising places upon my first session (it took forever to load voice samples the first time, for some reason!) SMT V is exactly what you’d expect from the series: a slight, brooding, high school protagonist exploring a strange atmosphere, making deals with demons. Just what you want out of an SMT game. BUT THIS IS SMT, NOT PERSONA. Don’t expect dating sims or the art style. This is the main series and it is different. An old-school, grind-heavy JRPG loaded with style and content.

An amazing entry to the Shin Megami Tensei series, arguably the best one to date. Even if you have never played a title in the series(highly recommend it), if you love RPG’s this game is a must.

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.

Yes. Just yes. This is almost as good as persona games. I haven’t finished the storyline just yet, but so far the visuals and gameplay are pretty fun.

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.

This is my first time play a game in the Shin Migami Tensei series and I’m having a blast. It has a great battle system and the visual and audio are great too. Highly recommend.

This is like the first jrpg I’ve played in recent memory where there was hardly any intro at all, as opposed to 4-8 hours of intro content to ramp up. This game more or less throws you right in and I’ve found it really engaging so far. As an old school gamer, I love a classic grind when just lounging around. Crazy art and story, too!
