Description of ๐Ÿ‘พ Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey - DS

Game mechanics represent a proud tradition of the all-time dungeon-crawling classic Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Story takes players into the near future on a mission to save Earth and to understand humanity's position within the larger universe. Who or what is causing the black hole that is engulfing the Earth. Demons may be friends or foes depending on your ability to negotiate, bribe, and coerce them to join you. With more than 300 types of demons, you'll have a huge variety of battlefield encounters and an equally large base of options on which to build your party.

Good game: Nintendo DS

A good quality RPG with many unique elements not found in most games these days. The M rating makes sense, but it's not on the level of Grand Theft Auto or anything like that. The plot is solid. Without destroying anything, a strange black void has appeared in Antarctica and is slowly growing, engulfing the entire planet. You are a soldier on one of the four ships sent to investigate, but will immediately lose contact with the other three if you enter. To make matters worse, the void is filledโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nintendo Systems
Cons
  • Not sure

Robust SMT game, suitable for legacy systems

MegaTen games are known for being difficult, and Strange Journey definitely lives up to, uh, shame. The dungeons in this game are long, I mean long. Don't expect to fully clear most dungeons at once, as you probably won't. The floors are littered with broken tiles and trapdoors, and the constant random encounters can be overwhelming; So expect a lot of healing and grinding in the process. Beware of Macca Beam. And as usual, being a MegaTen game, don't be surprised by cheap deaths, whether it'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Legacy systems
Cons
  • Compatibility

Old school and very interesting

I'm a die-hard RPG fan. What struck me about this game was the idea of a mature storyline and the unique gameplay element of first-person dungeon crawling. I didn't experience much of that before this game. I'm also a gamer who doesn't need great graphics. I love playing SNES JRPGs, which were water crossing in those glory days when games were all about experimentation, not industry. I played the first Shin Megami Tensei for a while but decided the desktop SNES emulation wasn't portable enoughโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Video games
Cons
  • So far so good
