Reviews from

in the past


This game isn't out yet. But so far, I really love how well it mixed Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei and Touhou. Using a lot of mechanics from all these games and making them work extremely well. Cute dialogue and art style, and god tier music. This game made me like Sumireko.

selfie with lucifer went hard as fuuck

still playing it but fuck yeah

I have now completed all three endings, the last of which included the superboss. The superboss was challenging and quite engaging.

Overall this game was wonderful and clearly very respectful of Shin Megami Tensei. I don't know much about Touhou, and even after playing still don't know much, but that's just fine. This is one of my favorite games of 2023 and I cannot recommend it enough.

the best smt game not made by atlus (very original opinion)


I think I experienced this in English Literature Class...

I couldn't stop playing this game for a week straight, that's just how good it is. It's basically classic SMT but with all the QoL improvements from later entries and a soundtrack that goes insanely hard, seriously listen to this shit

i HATE shin megami tensei but i LOVE subterranean animism's characters. a win regardless

Somehow is GOTY despite being only $15. It's funny, challenging, and perfectly recaptures the old smt dungeon crawler feel. It's feels like commiting robbery for the amount of quality at the price point.

Not really into touhou but heard that there was a dungeon clawler based around it, I went into this game not really expecting much but came out of it blown away. probably one of my favorite dungeon crawler game bosses were great, the vibe of the game was also great. check it out if you like dungeon crawler games especially older smt titles.

Takes a bit of everything from the older MegaTen games and puts a fresh spin on most of it. If you like dungeon crawlers it's absolutely an easy instant recommend. Heck, if you just like RPGs and the customization of SMT, I still recommend it in a heartbeat. The fact that it's so cheap is a huge bonus too.

Also, Sumireko is literally me.

A great SMT inspired Touhou game. I played at launch, took a break, and finished it up recently, and the updates to the game made it even better. Great for fans of both series.
