pretty great game, though in comparison to devil survivor 1 it falls a bit flat in some aspects. i prefer how devil survivor 1 handled average citizens trying to survive in an apocalyptic event, compared to the jp's stuff in 2. the end to each day is less impactful this time because you always have a safe place to come back to, and the death videos aren't nearly as interesting as the death clock and laplace mail. also i think some characters like daichi, keita, and io are particularly boring or bad. that being said, i do think the septentriones are cool antagonists and once the conflicting ideologies are brought into the mix the story is pretty good. i also did enjoy some of the cast like makoto, jungo, and especially joe even though i feel like he could've been written better. overall i think it was pretty good, and i'll get around to playing the triangulum arc eventually.
