The first Shin Megami Tensei game I've played and the first of the new team's take on a mainline Shin Megami(supposedly). It really is a great amalgamation of concepts even if some of them are underdeveloped. It's take on post apocalyptic cyberpunk world sprinkled in with western and eastern mythologies is really one of the most unique things I have experienced. The unrelenting and grueling press turn system makes a return and makes boss fights and even some mundane fights adrenaline pumping. The themes/alignments of law, neutral, and chaos and how each factions are associated with them and their philosophies are a good treat to explore. The plot may feel a bit rushed towards the end and may leave some plot threads hanging but the sheer creativity in its concepts is enough to make a good impression and something that can make one think. Great JRPG for the 3ds if not one of the best. Did I mention it has best soundtrack out of all the mainline SMT games?
