In the world of Shin Megami Tensei, you're not just playing to win - you're fighting for survival. And that's exactly what you'll get with the latest installment in the series, Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance. This game is a throwback to the PS2 era, where RPGs were tough, and you needed to be prepared to die... a lot. 💀
You're going to die. Just accept it. Save often, grind where you can, and stick your nose into everyone's business to get all that lovely experience. Batten down the hatches, gird your loins, watch out! Boss battles might absolutely batter you the first time around, but then you get to go back in with your wits about you. Even some random encounters have the chance to one-shot you if you're not careful. This game doesn't take any prisoners. 💥
In the vanilla release of Shin Megami Tensei 5, life was hard. In the redux, it's brutal. Good! The quality-of-life changes that have been added make a big difference - being able to save anywhere, tweaks to UI readability, and clearer explanations of RPG systems see to that.
Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance is class-A RPG - none of that gateway Persona nonsense that holds your hand and sings to you as you plod through your fancy little high school life. The parent MegaTen series has always been hard, it's almost a meme at this point, and whilst Vengeance isn't quite as tricky as SMT3 or 4, it's definitely still out for your blood. I say it's not as cruel as its forebears mostly because of the quality-of-life changes that have been added - being able to save anywhere, tweaks to UI readability, and clearer explanations of RPG systems see to that.
