This is released in the UK on the 14/6/2024 and in the UK is priced at £54.99.

INTRODUCTION

Become a mighty demigod and battle through a decimated Tokyo in a war between Angels and Demons.

FEATURES

  • A Tale of Vengeance or Creation Experience two complete story paths in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, both filled with conflicting and tragic choices, forcing you to confront which ideologies you are willing to fight for. As order and chaos crumble around you, forge your own path to dictate the fate of humanity.

    “Canon of Vengeance” – a dramatic tale of revenge by the fallen, centered around new characters and an enigmatic cohort of demons, the Qadištu, who plot their own dark designs apart from the war of those who fight to maintain order and those who seek to defy it.

    “Canon of Creation” – an eternal conflict between angels and demons, in which the protagonist fights for the world’s fate.
  • Battle through a decimated Tokyo, reduced to an expansive wasteland and overrun by mythical demons. Roam across wide, open areas and explore new locations for life-saving items or encounter a multitude of demons to battle or befriend as allies, including dozens of newly added demons to this game.
  • Fully evolved with stunning visuals for modern consoles, the dark lore, unnerving atmosphere, and beautiful and monstrous demons are back and better than ever. Massively expanded with new areas, demons, and music, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance features more accessible gameplay, an improved battle system, new demon experiences, and greater field exploration.
  • Intense, Turn-Based Combat System.
  • Over 270 Demons to Recruit and Command.
  • Make New Allies Along Your Journey.

FAN ART

Story is interesting and fun.

Enemies are awesome as can recruit them to help you and all have own look and own attacks and skills to learn and over 270 different demons to fight, train, recruit them.

Skills are very impressive as can get buffs for yourself or group and can get single target or group target skill and all have own feel and own uses to them and can learn skills from others to make new skills or so can have a attack for nearly every type of monster you encounter.

World is fun to explore as feels alive and is full of secrets to find especially look out for MIMAN as everytime you find one you gain glory which you use to learn new buffs and more and everytime you collect 5 of them can get reward from shop and there is alot of rewards all the way from 5 to 200 so there alot of them.

Characters that you meet on your adventure all have own look and own personality to them.

Difficulty options are nice as even on casual is still challenging as if at any point your character gets zero HP it game over so make sure to save often.

Two story options is cool as can play a new story added for the game or the original which is nice as offers returning players new story and both are awesome.

Level up options are nice and easy to understand and can make to your own build and later on you find a item where you can reset your points so can make different build which is always nice having the ability to change skill allocation.

Easy to lose hours exploring, combining monsters and so much more also very good as fun even if new to the series.

Can be daunting as alot of mechanics to learn.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall can be daunting as alot of mechanics to learn. However for £54.99, the story is awesome and fun with a huge amount of unique enemies that all have own look and own skills and attacks to them and skills are impressive as can get everything from buffs to heals to single target attacks to group attacks and all have own feel and uses to them and the world feels alive with loads of secrets to find and even certain character to find to gain rewards from finding them and there alot of them also has nice difficulty option to suit own style and is challenging even on casual and with two different stories to try and the game is easy to lose hours just exploring and combing monster and so much more and fun if new to the series.
