Topic: Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army

I appreciate Atlus/Sega reaching all the way back to the PS2 and bringing Devil Summoner forward.

I was not a PS2 owner at this time, so I missed out on most of those exclusives. Even though I'm not a MegaTen super-fan, I do believe this game is very well regarded? Although the aggregate doesn't paint a pretty picture necessarily. Sounds like a misunderstood diamond in the rough.

Personally, I think this property was brought back due to the popularity of Solo Leveling, lol.

I mean, come on.

Played the tutorial.

Nice first impression. It is Persona...if it were Diablo rather than Pokemon.

Up to Episode II now. Mildly unsettled about how quickly my demons fold in combat with boss types. Clearly I need to use safeguard more often. During the first couple of boss fights all my demons were merc'd. I barely scrapped by.

Kinda on the fence on this one. I like persona but SMT doesn't look too appealing to me, raidou is kinda in between (based on what I have seen in reviews)

@Jedrus_Lilac From what I've heard it's much more Persona than SMT, lot more lighthearted and doesn't have that apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic lonely feel "real" SMT does (which I like but I imagine you don't).

@Fiergala From what I gather SMT games are heavily combat focussed. While I like the combat in Persona I am not sure I would like like the game as much if it was just dungeons. And from what I gather that's what SMT games focus on.
How is the detective game in Raidou? any fun or is it tacked on or something? I heard the og was a bit clunky and they streamlined the remaster

Tacked on.

You need X demon ability to complete X task to either close a case file and/or progress the story.
