When I originally played this following the original Last Bible, I decided it was a lot better, mostly because they implement an improved negotiation system and allow you to put equipment on your recruited demons. But I'm going back on that - it's worse. The story kills this game and throws the remains in a shallow grave. So much of this short game is spent chasing down characters who promptly run away again once you find them. There are so many pointless two room "dungeons" that have no design whatsoever.

The part that broke my sanity permanently and put me in therapy was when you head off to some island with a microscopic castle, kill a boss in two hits, go back to town, and then they send you to another island to do the exact same thing. If you haven't played it, you'll think I'm exaggerating, but I've never been more serious about anything. Ultimately this is one of those things you'll only want to play today if you're trying to do every Megami Tensei game or you just need to spend time on a mediocre Game Boy RPG.

To me this one is just sheer fun. You get this big map of Three Kingdoms China broken out into territories, you can make your own character, and you just have to conquer everything, with each battle, of course, being a musou button masher. On the map screen you can recruit generals and select different advantage cards. Combining light strategy elements with musou is honestly genius and very addictive. There's a "historical" mode that places all of the generals where they're supposed to belong, but the true fun was the free mode where it's just random and anything can happen. Great game that I always seem to come back to.
