This is it chief
JRPG adventure dripping with atmosphere that doesn’t hold your hand and has a lot to say philosophically. The soundtrack is peak and tells a story. Not quite as difficult as some say, but the challenge the turn-based battles pushes the player to swap demons/magatama and maybe use moves they’ve thought previously irrelevant. Some may find the dungeon design frustrating and tedious, found it engaging and challenging. As someone coming from Persona, I much prefer the press turn system over the one more. Dodging or nullifying attacks has a huge impact on battles, making strategic decisions more satisfying than in Persona. This is my first non Persona SMT game and I’m in love.
10/10
