SMT DS: Soul Hackers

Here's another Atlus 1st person dungeon crawler with demon compedium, fusion, negotation, swords, guns, dark atmosphere, random encounters, turn-based combat... I love it.

It reminds me to Persona 2 but without the personas, shorter but intense. With a similar art style which I prefer over the anime style from the latests persona games.

The player party mixes humans and demons, one flaw I found is that the demons are weaker and have less weight in combat than in other games, another flaw are the combats being a bit easier than usual,but still challenging.



The story is interesting as always though it lacks some character development. It has some cool things like the virtual world, street pass functions (3DS version), 2 types of currencies, one used inside dungeons and demon related things, while the other currency is for the usual shopping.

I had plenty of fun, I have inconditional love for Shin Megami Tensei.

Did I like it? Yes.
I think you will lke it if you:
- Like Shin Megami Tensei atmosphere
- Don't mind 1st person dungeons

I rate my experience with a 8 out of 10
