Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Steelbook Launch Edition - PlayStation 5

ATLUS is one of my favorite game companies. The Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) series is a huge reason for this. I was first introduced to the company when I played Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 on PS2 and I was blown away by the art style and intrigued by the darker themed story line. I then played SMT III on PS2 which was rather difficult but again I commended the chose your own adventure like narrative to it. When SMT III came on Switch I did not hesitate to play it. I loved the various story line threads and all of the lore between the demons and gods.When I found out they were doing a new installment of this game that also had a new storyline I was delighted as even just a PS5 remaster of the Switch game to PS5 would have been welcome. The game graphics remastering is excellent and makes the original Switch release look like a game boy game practically. The new story line is also fantastic. I thought it would simply be a couple more bosses and a new ending or two, but there is a good story with it that involves the students more in a way the original storyline was somewhat lacking. There are also several more demons/gods to play with and the newly added Qadištu are sheik, sexy and each has there own personality. The turn based combat remains enjoyable and there are new challenges presented for those looking for more aspects than story.This release is excellent and is a must for any ATLUS fan and JRPG fan. The mature story line and various threads allow the game to extend and be interesting for those who do not play RGPs frequently. SMT V caters to the casual and extreme gamers with so many options and reasons to play multiple playthroughs. With the gaming industry trending to more western themed RPGs or Call of Duty sequels, releases like this have to be all the more treasured.

Amé el juego y la presentación es hermosa

EXCELENTE Y SOBRE TODO EL STEEL BOOK ESTA MUY BONITO¡¡¡¡¡

Beautiful box, great game been having fun with for a while.

While this is purchased due to my love of the Persona series (which I got into via Persona 5 when it came out on ps4) I’m glad I got it. Never played the original or any of the other SMT games before and saw all the extras on this version with the second story, quality of life/gameplay for other systems that weren’t the switch I just took a chance on it. I’m not super far into it yet but it’s quite good and if you’ve never played a SMT game, this is a great start.
