Pretty good. The story, though derivative of Shonen anime, in particular Neon Genesis Evangelion, the plot is still enjoyable. The characters range from mediocre and nonsubstantial to genuinely enjoyable and rather humorous. The plot also establishes higher stakes by making you save all of your potential party members from certain death, as well as showing that unlike the first game, where the conflict was contained to a single city, this game's conflict is on a global scale. This game took the good but flawed combat of its predecessor and buffed out some of the kinks, such as creating a more balanced difficulty curb and keeping physical skills useful throughout the entire adventure, as opposed to them being outclassed by magic skills in the first game.

The visuals are on par with the original, as is the soundtrack, though some may prefer the electric guitars of devil survivor one to the synth waves of devil survivor two.

Over all, the reason I'm not giving this game a five star rating is because it could have benefitted from receiving a port to personal computers or the Nintendo switch so that the presentation wouldn't be held back by the limitations of the Nintendo Dual Screen.
