first game:
-man finds himself in a industrial facility isolated from the rest of the world
-a portal to another world is opened and creatures invade the facility
-man shoots his way out and escapes
second game:
-man comes back home
-finds out the creatures have already invaded planet earth
-Doomguy shoots his way out and kills the Icon of Sin stopping the demon invasion
am I mentally challenged for only noticing the parallels now? I genuinely never saw any one mention this, why didn't you guys tell me?
...also this game is BOOOOORING!!!

Devil Survivor gets called the best written SMT game a lot, I wouldn't say that is the best at exploring the mythology and the recurring themes of the series (stil does a good job in that department) but in terms of characters writing and the way it explores alignments is top notch.
the combat in other hand has a great foundation and translates the dungeon crawling mechanics of mainline to SRPG to great effect but thanks to a small roster of demons and maps it gets repetitive FAST. I don't know if they were trying use demons that didn't appear that much in the rest of the series or what but this is one of the smallest and lamest demon selection of the 2000's SMT games by far. Also I can't stand the music.
even tho I am mostly complaining when this game is good is one of the best, one of my favorites of the series and Naoya's ending is one of the highlights of the entire series.
