YOU BETTER ENJOY THOSE IDENTICAL PSX CORRIDORS YOU LITTLE B-

Probably the best version of SMT1, navigation is made slightly more tolerable due to actual 3d render of the GODDAMN CORRIDORS (instead of the pretend 3d of the snes), moving sideways and a quick map buttons were also added which are godsends for this game.

Besides that it's SMT1 with some better sprites, backgrounds and some bugfixes & correcter oversights I believe. It's outdated no way around that, but it has charm to attract curious SMT fans like myself.

+ Great mood with the cursed wild west vibe
+ Good looking visuals & art style
+ Varied enough enemies for each location
+ Enemies are better dealt with with specific strats and weak points
+ A lot of unique equipment loot variety

- Grind based inventory management is broken and missing a LOT of QoL features, examples:
you can't place an item on top of another to replace its position;
items are always placed horizontally so even if you have space vertically you cant pickup or unequip items;
and more problems I've forgot, all this makes inventory management really annoying...
(Resident Evil got this right decades ago come on)
- Story almost might as well not be there...
- Leveling perks are meh
- Gameplay loop & objectives starts getting a bit repetitive

Solid game for Wild West enjoyers, just needs riding on the sunset and train level.
