Atlus Reveal Shin Megami Tensei IV, Coming This Summer Exclusively On The 3DS

Atlus have announced a new game in the Shin Megami Tensei series, the first new one for 10 years. coming this summer exclusively on the 3DS, the story in Shin Megami Tensei IV revolves around the Samurai. you start as a newly appointed Samurai and have to deal with the factions of the world as you try to defend your home kingdom.

Shin Megami Tensei IV is built to take advantage of the 3DS with 3D dungeons and StreetPass as well as other Features:
  • A World to Discover, A Mystery to Uncover - The life of a Samurai is fraught with peril. Players must leave the safety of the kingdom in order to defend it from the invading demons. There the story unfolds as they become involved in a fierce battle between God and demons.
  • Demon Collection and Fusion - The core mechanic of the Shin Megami Tensei series returns with more than 400 demons to recruit, collect, and fuse together. Players will constantly be challenged with balancing the strengths of their demons to ultimately excel in battle.
  • Choices and Consequences - Throughout the player's journey, they must choose their own path. The choices will affect them, other NPCs, and the overall outcome of the story. Branching story paths require careful consideration since the fates of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado and the rest of the world hang in the balance.
  • Pressing the Combat Advantage - The Press Turn system requires strategic thinking for every battle. Pinpointing an enemy's weakness will provide a vital extra turn for players to exploit. But there are dangers as well...reckless attacks against demons cause players to lose their turns and give the enemy an opening to strike back.
