Wait are you DS exclusive or do you have PSP as well? I would try the original Persona remake if you want to stick in the series. Though it isn't the exact gameplay wise, and has much much much less cutscenes(damn does Devil Survivor have cutscenes). The stories are close enough, and both have the darkish(not necessarily dark, but close I guess) atmosphere. Persona is a lot more annoying though with the random encounters really high, and battles really long. Persona does have the monster upgrading technique in a fairly similar way, but instead of demons you use personas(Pretty much the same thing gameplay wise). What is lacks is the gameplay being so mixed up though. It is pretty much a traditional rpg with some extra strategy, and the addition of persona raising kinda deal. They are both the same series that is why I recommended it, but also these games are very rare to come by, and that is why I can't think of anything on the Handhelds anywhere similar to SMT:DS.
BTW if you had any underwhelming experiences with recent persona games(3 and 4) forget that because they are VERY different. The recent Persona games add the sim aspect, and focus on that a lot along with battle gameplay.
