A solid little Shin Megami Tensei-like, drawing a lot of inspiration to how demons are handled in soul hackers 2 specifically (i.e. you equip them to characters). If you love the classic shin megami tensei game play of exploring dungeons and fusing demons then this will certainly suffice until the next atlus game comes out. It's biggest weakness is its story, which is very straightforward and basic. The characters don't get a lot of deep interaction to flesh them out either. If you play RPGs for the stories and characters then this game is probably a pass. However, if you want a story that just gets out of the way so you can dungeon crawl, this will be up your alley. The Arcane (this games term for demons) designs are all very cool though they feel like they come from a different game then the actual human characters which can make it feel a little disjointed. I do find the stat spreads a little rough as at many levels you often won't have enough good int and str demons for both your casters and your melee fighters without equiping redundant Arcanes, especially since other stats like luck and agi aren't worth specializing in, at least from my experience. Overall this game is a 7/10. It's a great value even at full price and will scratch your SMT itch until the next Persona game comes out. It's weak story and derivative game play hold it back from being a recommend if you aren't a dungeon-crawler fan.

The demon designs are awesome and the gameplay is awesome. i don't give a gaf about the story cuz this is a raw dungeon crawler. would highly recommend for smt fans

This is a good one. Pretty impressive as a Shin Megami Tensei clone made in RPG maker. First person dungeons complete with traps feels like it could have been made by Atlus themselves. The negotiation system is a little light, and really unnecessary, but that's actually my only complaint, this was really fun to play and get all the achievements. My favorite knock off Persona is Mike.
