The best thing about this game is the world building. Atlus manages to explain every aspect of this post-apocalyptic demon hellscape Tokyo so well that it's completely believable. However, the writing does falter when it comes to the actual characters. While there is some fun character moments, like Isabeau's quest for manga, the characters still amount to little more than ideaological mouthpieces. The neutral ending also kind of sucks in that it's just the chaos and law endings cut together with an extra little scene.

Not much else to complain about though. All the gameplay systems are great and make for a much smoother experience than games like Nocturne. The soundtrack, while a pretty big departure from Shoji Meguro's style, fucking rules.

One of the best games on the 3DS for sure, hope it gets a Switch or PC port someday.
