Reviews from

in the past


While future entries have paved over some of its rough edges, Nocturne still feels like the gold standard for modern Megami Tensei.

Solid, but later entries really picked up where this was lacking. Other than the weird pacing and zig zagged difficulty, there's a good game here.

It is over hype i had fun with the game but it's not the best Megaten game in my opinion

A total rebirth for SMT at the time, and the origin of nearly everything good Atlus has made since--Nocturne remains, even 20 years later, the best game in the franchise and, in my opinion, the whole genre.


alright so i wrote my whole ass review for this game under the hd remaster cuz that's what i played, then realized i was tracking my days played on this version. oops. pretty much all you gotta know is that this game rocks and has some of the most interesting rpg battle mechanics ive ever used, has a bangin soundtrack, looks phenomenal, but gets a bit difficult at times and has "im a 20 year old JRPG" syndrome, meaning sometimes its hard to figure out what to do next. phenomenal game that is absolutely worth your time

Has a unique vibe unlike any other in the series with harsh gameplay. Overall story is lacking in terms of any real characters mainly a solo journey but has neat concepts.

Insufferable ass game highly overrated

Shit i beat this game! Uuuuuh very good! Has a few hiccups but overall not a terrible entry point in the series for any newcomers.
