EDIT: YES, I MEANT DEVIL SURVIVOR. I'm ashamed, I should be hanged

 

So, I have given this game some 2-3 hours of play, and I have to say it's quite engaging (as expected, if I might add). The story is like a more lighthearted version of Nocturne (world gone nuts in the first minute of the game, but with some character interactions Persona-like), and it's got me quite hooked up, I like the contemporary setting. I'm really liking Atsuro as character, not so much Yuzu but I can stand her. And the COMPs getting emails (something like the .hack series) works great too

As for the gameplay, it's pretty original, since it plays like a standard SRPG but when you attack an enemy or get attacked it switches to a regular SMT with weaknesses and extra turns. It plays mostly like you'd expect (Dia, Agi, Zio and all that), so if you played any SMT you'd feel right at home

 

Overall, I think so far the game's really great, it looks that Atlus did it yet once again. Has anyone else been able to try it, and what do you think of it?

Did you download the rom?



I'm buying it in the next few days, but I'm probably not going to start it until I beat DDS2.

Also, your title is wrong



Do you have to play the other SMT games to understand the story? Since I'm tempted to pick it up..



Former something....

No. You might appreciate/enjoy certain aspects of the game more, but you wouldn't be missing out on anything.

Dammit! I just stopped playing it, and I was thinking of the demon summons in the game! Oh, well, people will recognize it...I hope

No, it's completely standalone. Different characters, different world, no relations to any game




Okay then I'll pick this up in the middle of July...

You really should buy a DS.



You mean Devil SURVIVOR.. right?

There are so many things I should buy...a PSP, a PS3, a Wii, an HDTV, an iPod Touch, a new PC, a better internet service, a Drum Kit for RB...

Yet the problem is always the same....
