Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor

ohhh that is disturbing...

 

Well, I figured I do some pre-release reviewing as asked so I'll share with you what I know.


Slight Spoilers nothing too experience breaking but if you want to go into it totally clueless don't read.



Shin Megami Tensai: DS takes place in Tokyo and has some of it's famous locations, people who played TWEWY will recognize one of them. You play as the MC, a blue haired, headphone-wearing, second year high-schooler (Persona 3 players may feel a sense of deja-vu) who you can name anything you wish. I'll be personally naming the main character Yamamoto Kagishi, who's been staying in Tokyo with his cousin hanging out with his friends the busty Yuzu and the dorky Atoutsu. One day, while you're hanging out with said friends, the sky turns red and suddenly you find yourself barricaded in downtown Tokyo by Special Forces and demons roam the streets and attack the weak. Through various plot points that I'm currently not aware of, you and your friends obtain a COMP, a DS shaped machine that let's you forge contracts with Demons and fuse them. However the main characters COMP has a function known as a death clock which measures the life span of a person, and quickly learns no one in the barricade has much time at all...

This game takes place over seven days, and those seven days are broken up into 30 minute portions in which you can do tons of things, and each of the choices you make have an impact on the plot. You may save the life of a person you talk to, and kill someone else by talking to them. This will eventually put you on a path, one of the six endings that your characters choices puts them on.

Battle is a cross between Persona 1's battle system, Persona 3's One More System, and an SRPG's movement and planning style. You will go into battle with a main character and two demons that have been summoned by them, going against other teams of demons, and people. Demons are your main custom aspect, they have racial, synergy, and basic skills that can be used on the battle grid (Demon Speed/Teleport), and in battle (Dia/Zio). These demons are acquired at an auction that puts you up against two other people in a bidding war for it. But, be careful, sometimes the demon can be a 'dud' which is a demon with no real skills. There's also some way to obtain more power from the enemies you defeat.

Interesting, no?

 

Blade,
how about put some picture of this game on your 1st post...

 

Uh, okay.

 

I just suggest that to you,
so this thread will be more nice and interesting.

oh,and also move your review to your first post.

 

My goodness, the ROM still isn't up yet.
been waiting forever, its the 23rd, i hope it gets up sooner than later.

 

Hey! Why this game has not been uploaded yet??? Nooooooooooo............ Can't wait any longer......

 

Well it's not the 23rd here anymore since 1 minute
so I can assume it's late?
ahh can't wait for it!!!!!

 

In light of such "Patience dear Padawan as good things come to those who wait."

When it is ready for us to have it will be here. Things do indeed take time and we are at the mercy of the great gaming demigods who provide the game dumps for each rom. So the game is a little late being released to us here.Fire up your favorite console or handheld and give your fingers a good workout until then. It's what I'm doing while I wait for Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor to drop from its perch.

Mmm game candy *drool*

 

That's exactly how I feel about waiting.

 

Haha..just be patient guys.
I'm sure it will be uploaded soon...
(but,please upload it quickly....)

 

that depends on the guy who dumps it and patiently upload it to a hosting site...procedures...and more procedures then Rom download site...

 

Be strong.

 

Im going insane! this game cannot come out soon enough. heh ... to think, i could be doing something productive like.. getting a job or something...
...
...
...
nah.

 

I usually estimate about 3 days after its release gives time for someone to buy the game, dump it, test it out, then send it out to the scene...maybe it will happen today *hopes*

 

I hope this game worth to be waited.
I hope what Nero said is true...
(I'm praying 999 times for it to happen)

 

Don't bank on what I say, i've been proven wrong before

 

Ditto.

If it was out in england i'd dump it myself :'(

 

Atlus games apart from Steal Princess always take forever to get dumped. Just the nature of the beast I suppose.
