The story follows a nameless protagonist who lives in near-future Tokyo. When a portal to the realm of demons is opened, United States officials order a nuclear attack on Tokyo. Transported with two other supporting characters thirty years into the future, the protagonist finds the Earth ruined by a demon invasion, which is now the stage for an escalating conflict between the Order of Messiah and the Ring of Gaea, conflicting cults who wish to bring about kingdoms for their respective patron deities (YHVH and Lucifer). The story is influenced by moral decisions the protagonist makes, aligning him either with the Order, the Ring of Gaea, or setting him up as an independent agent. The gameplay uses first-person navigation of dungeons and turn-based battles against demons. The player can recruit demons as allies by talking to them rather than fighting them, and two to three demons can be fused to create new demons.

Good start to getting into SMT. Has the alignments at its most basic, but still done well, has an amazing atmosphere, as most SMT games do, and its story is great. If you don’t want to deal with all the random encounters, gather a bunch of magnetite and use the fusion calculator to find and fuse a demon with estoma.

it's pretty janky but the story rocks (and so do the music and art)

I love this game but it's objectively quite bad, has a hell of a vibe to it and does a lot of things I really like but only play it if you're insane

very cool, pascal is my friend

i cant say that it is a guilty pleasure of mine, more like pain pleasure....... but god, four years later and i have only warm memories of this game...... this is insane...,....... i am insane
