Your days are numbered. This is a chilling reminder that the apocalypse is upon us. Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS handheld system, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker offers more than 100 hours of gameplay and plot -- nearly double the content of the original Devil Survivor 2. It also includes fully voiced English story dialogue, giving new depth to the cast of Devil Survivor 2's original story. Record Breaker requires no knowledge of the story from the original Devil Survivor, so newcomers to the series won't lack any crucial plot information.

I have only done one route in this game. I don't see why people like it better than DS1. It's got better things that DS1 like battle doesn't take a million year . OST is good, story is fine.

Little did teenage me know that this would introduce him to a world of Atlus games that would consume him mind, soul, and bank account. From the Devil Auction, the chance for characters to die and multiple endings with real consequences for the characters involved marked a revolution in my gameplaying tastes.

It was TOO easy. At one point I simply got bored and left the game unfinished for years. It's a shame since I really loved the first Devil Survivor.
It is a good game, that's undeniable, but it showed Atlus' first signs about a drop in the difficulty of their games...

Awesome tactical RPG from what I've played. One of the most promising MegaTen games avaiable on 3DS beside IV.

Fan of the Persona/Shin Megami Tensei series of games and for a 3ds game this does not disappoint. The grid based strategy element combined with different demon racial powers/abilities is a lot of fun and there are plenty of combinations and demons to mix things up. There is an element of replayability as there are 4 endings as well.

Pros
-Extensive cast of interesting characters
-Skill crack feature and selection of your own abilities gives you lots of options and strategies to use
-Multiple endings and huge compendium of demons makes the game easily replayable, as well as being able to fully customise the stars your main character gets on level up
-harder difficulty presents a decent challenge without becoming a marathon of restarting battles

Cons
-Paying for demons is a little bit lame, the auction can be unpredictable at times and stupid Carol J bids way more than her expected amount and then you don't get that 5 star demon boi you really wanted. I ended up using the Moneybags perk on every team during Day 2 so I didn't have to grind free battles
-Carol J
-All of Carol J's family

The writing is like mainline SMT with a bit of Persona's style in there (affectionate)
