...holy shit, this is really good

as a huge fan of the original 2 SMT games, this absolutely feels like a love letter. the alignments feel tight and the characters are incredibly well humanized. the atmosphere is suffocating, and the difficulty generally is challenging in a fun way. i do think the final boss is pretty BS though lol

the fact that this game is trapped on the DS/3DS is a crime, a modern remaster is past due
