Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei series, including its spinoffs such as Persona and Devil Summoner, have gained quite the reputation for being well involved. The franchise's latest entry, 3DS game Shin Megami Tensei IV, is no different. But those who tough it out will find the game offers a rather satisfying play experience rarely found on the platform.
The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.
I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.
Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to naming gaming’s most revered and fan honored labels, it’s hard to top Atlus. The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"
I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.
Development is currently underway for Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch, though it’ll likely be some time until its release. Shin Megami Tensei IV, meanwhile, has been out for a while now – in two versions no less, SMT IV and SMT IV: Apocalypse (subtitled “Final” in Japan).
Damn this is one of if not my fav handheld rpg ever and quite possibly fav jrpg (up there with Xenoblade, Lost Odyssey, FFX, and i like it far more than P4 Golden even). Its not that past SMT games weren't good because they were but this just has that extra polish and shine similar to Fire Emblem Awakening. Both FEA and SMT4 were great series before but the newest games made them accessible, more visually appealing, quicker, streamlined, better production values, deeper story and characters all while keeping the soul and challenge intact. Once you hit the main city (vague for spoiler reasons) it gets so damn good. The game opens up and throws a massive world that's so dark, twisted, and yet fun to explore. And the music is flipping phenomenal!
