I love this game.

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

I really love this game. I first rented it through Gamefly about 2 years ago and I hated to send it back so I bought the game.
I've played it dozens of times. It's open ended and there are several endings based on how you play the game.
I personally haven't completed all the endings yet mostly because without realizing it, I keep ending up with the same 3 endings.
But I really don't care.. I enjoy playing the game and raising demons.
You can raise and breed your demons over and over to make them more powerful, and the higher level you achieve the more powerful demons you can obtain.
Also some demons are only obtainable during certain parts of the game, and if you miss that chance then you can't get that demon.

I don't think it is possible to get all of the storyline demons in one storyline.. you have to play multiple times in order to get all of the possible demons. I want to play the new version of this game but I don't have a 3dS yet.

Shin Megami Tensei for the Nintendo DS is an excellent investment in entertainment. It plays much like the original Megami Tensei games (in that battles are first person) and Disgaea with a grid system for movement during battles. The story is well-paced and keeps things interesting, allowing you to make decisions and choose your own path with multiple endings. There is a vast amount of demons to keep you occupied. The Cathedral of Shadows was one of my favorite systems - making complex calculations to create the perfect demon with my preferred set of skills. The story is different with each new decision you make, and it unfolds different aspects of the overall narrative with each ending. Never once did the game get boring, and I've been through it three times at the writing of this review.

One word of warning - as with all Megami Tensei games, anyone who finds demonology or the mention/depiction of God in an unfavorable light offensive (as characters throughout the series do this), this game may not be the game for you. If you are new to the series, the spell names may be confusing at first (Agi is fire, Bufu is ice, etc.), but it's easy to get used to. There are several tutorials throughout the game to get you comfortable with the battle and fusion systems, and the tutorials can be accessed throughout play. There's no running desperately to a save point, though some battles may be frustrating. Just level up a little bit and change a few skills - you may be surprised at how effective that change can be.

I'd highly recommend the game to anyone.

Excellent TRPG for DS

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

While not quite the same as any other game in the MegaTen series, this game manages to hold its own as both a good TRPG and as a MegaTen game. The way battling is performed is highly reminiscent of other classic TRPGs such as Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics. The story is well put together, and with choices that contain lasting effect along with multiple endings, replayability is through the roof. If you are looking for a good tactical RPG, a fan of SMT games, or just looking for another great game to add to your collection, this is for you.

I love it!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2009

I'm shocked how much I enjoy this game. Even though I usually only use my DS for traveling, I've now been playing at home. Normally I avoid strategy/tactic games, but this one had me hooked from the moment I started. So even if you're like me (and couldn't get into other tactics games), give this game a chance!

The main character is custom-made; you decide everything from his personality to his stats and skills. The other team members are more preset, but earning (cracking) and assigning their skills is entirely up to you. As for demons, those who have played other Shin Megami Tensei games will be familiar with the fusing system. The process of building a successful party is complex, but enjoyable and not hard to pick up on.

As far as difficulty, I'd say this game is easier than Nocturne or DDS, but more challenging than the Persona games. If you like those games, you'll enjoy this one. If you don't like them, what is wrong with you? If you haven't tried them yet, get on with it!

Good Game for Hardcore Gamers

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

A highly collectable version of Devil Survivor series now, this DS game was shipped quickly and provided more then 40+ hours of JRPG fun. This is a Strat RPG and is not really aimed at casual players. In fact it feels more aimed at hardcore gamers as there are several points where you, as the player, will spend 1 hour or more grinding to beat a scenario to move the story forward. I recommend it based on the story and visuals but game-play was thankfully improved in it's updated re-release of Overclocked for 3DS but if you do not yet have one or your looking for the collectable game, this is it.

Durchaus gelungenes Spiel

Reviewed in Germany on June 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Zunächst bin ich sehr froh darüber, dass dieses Spiel nach einiger Zeit endlich zu einem humanen Preis hierzulande zu kaufen ist. Bis vor etwa 3 Jahren noch war es sehr selten und fast ausschließlich nur in den USA erhältlich und die Preise für dieses Spiel variierten von etwa 80€ - 350€ - Versand und Zoll nicht eingerechnet.

Die Megami Tensei Spielreihe existiert bereits seit 1987 und seit jeher erschienen Spiele für verschiedenste Konsolen und für den PC. Die sehr bekannte Persona Spielreihe ist ein Ableger von Megami Tensei und beide erfreuen sich in Japan hoher Beliebtheit und müssen sich keineswegs hinter Final Fantasy und Dragon Quest verstecken.

Doch nun zum Szenario des Spiels (natürlich OHNE Spoiler) selbst:
Man schlüpft in die Rolle eines 17-jährigen männlichen Schülers, welcher ein ganz normales Leben in Tokio führt und die letzten Tage der Sommerferien mit seinen beiden Schulfreunden verbringt und zusammen mit ihnen seinen Cousin Naoya (zu dem der Protagonist lange keinen Kontakt mehr hatte) besuchen möchte, weil er diesen dazu aufgefordert hat ihn zu treffen, doch er erscheint nicht. Das Einzige was er hinterlässt, sind 3 sogenannte "COMP" (Portable Communication Player), die übrigens eine Art von modifizierten Nintendo DS sind.
Kurz darauf erhalten sie eine seltsame Nachricht auf ihren COMPs, die sie über die tragischen und erschreckenden Ereignisse informieren, die an diesem Tag noch stattfinden werden. Später am Tag gibt es unter anderem eine heftige Explosion in der Stadt und die japanische Regierung veranlasst daraufhin eine komplette Quarantäne Tokios, da angeblich Dämonen erschienen sind. Diese soll nun 7 Tage andauern.
Schnell finden die 3 Freunde heraus, dass die COMPs tatsächlich die Zukunft vorhersagen, sie damit ebenfalls Dämonen als Partner/Helfer beschwören können und es an ihnen liegt die Vorhersagen zu vereiteln, indem sie gegen Dämonen kämpfen, denn nur so entkommen sie ihrem eigenen Schicksal und überleben diese 7 höllischen Tage.

So viel zum Szenario des Spiels ohne zu viel davon preiszugeben, da das oben genannte bereits auf der Verpackung und im Handbuch zu lesen ist. Vom Stil her ist es ein rudenbasiertes Strategie RPG, ähnlich den klassischen RPGs aus den 80ern und 90ern. Die Kämpfe kann man im Grunde mit dem Kampfsystem von Pokemon vergleichen, das heißt: Man greift den Gegner an, danach ist dieser am Zug - sofern man diesen noch nicht besiegt hat -. Die ganze Story hingegen ist weitaus komplexer, tiefgründiger, anspruchsvoller und dunkler als in Pokemon und speziell am Anfang etwas textlastig. Außerdem ist dieses Spiel stellenweise sehr schwer, doch so hat man entsprechende Herausforderungen und so ist es mir ehrlich gesagt lieber als wenn es zu einfach ist (wieder Stichwort: Pokemon).
Es gibt insgesamt 6 oder 7 verschiedene alternative Enden. Welche davon am Schluss verfügbar sind ist davon abhängig, welche Entscheidungen man im Spiel traf und mit welchen Charakteren man interagiert hat. Des Weiteren muss man für jedes alternative Ende das Spiel erneut durchspielen.
Im Übrigen ist in dem DS-Spiel "The World Ends With You" ein ähnliches Szenario: Jugendliche in Tokio, bzw. in Shibuya und Umgebung, 7 Tage überleben, gegen Monster/Dämonen kämpfen etc. Dies kann ich ebenfalls empfehlen.

Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2009

Devil Survivor is a srpg that places you and two of your classmates in a demon infested locked down section of Tokyo. Now you and your friends must do battle to escape, but as you discover more about the lock down the road before you will begin to fork. Devil Survivor has multiple ends and lots of replay value.

Gameplay:
Combat is standard turn based srpg, you and your characters battle demons on a grid battlefield and instead of one on one combat there are two teams of 3. At the end of combat you receive experience points and money, the money is only used to buy more demons from a demon eBay like auction. As you go up in level you will be able to fuse two demons together to get new stronger demons. At the beginning of every battle you can pick one new skill you would like to learn per character, if that character defeats the demon with the skill he/she picked then that skill is learned and goes into a skill pool that any character can pick from so long as their attributes are high enough.

Graphics:
They were good, I would rather have played this on the PS2 or Wii and had better graphics but I have no regrets playing it on the DSI. However; I think the DSI still needs a bigger screen like the PSP's, which would be really good.

Sound:
The sound was good but after awhile it got to repetitive and I muted the sound and listened to my TV instead.

Value:
I believe there are 5 different endings to the game, unfortunately only the last section of the game is different. So you would need to play the majority of the game over again before you would get to any new content. Unless you really like this game a second play thru is not likely.

Overall this game is very good but there are a couple of things that I didn't like. One there is no game play clock, although this is minor all most all rpg's have one and I really missed it. Second the difficultly on the last section of the game where you pick which ending you will take is far harder. The time required to raise your level to a point where you can finish the game doubles the time spent playing. Hour after hour of fighting the same battles, just so you can then progress the main story. This is just plain stupid, and ATLUS needs to stop doing this in their rpg's.

Game Play: 8/10
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 8/10
Value: 8/10

Overall: 8/10
