Shin Megami Tensei IV for Nintendo 3DS

About Shin Megami Tensei IV for Nintendo 3DS

Shin Megami Tensei IV begins in the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, a land of castles and fields where chosen teenagers become samurai who protect the people. You play a newly chosen samurai sent into the depths below the kingdom, where a vast modern city lies in ruins and demons roam the streets. The contrast between the peaceful kingdom and the harsh city drives the whole story, and the choices you make push the world toward law, chaos or something between.

Combat is turn based and built on hitting enemy weaknesses, which earns your side extra actions while mistakes hand them to the demons. Talking to demons is just as important as fighting them, since many can be persuaded to join you. Recruited demons can be fused together in the Cathedral of Shadows to create stronger partners with hand picked skills. Tokyo is a huge place to explore, full of side quests, relics to sell and bosses that test every part of your team building.
