Shin Megami Tensei

Shin Megami Tensei (1992)

by Atlus
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Fantasy, Warfare, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:The story follows a nameless protagonist who lives in near-future Tokyo. When a portal to the realm of demons is opened, United States officials order a nuclear attack on Tokyo. Transported with two other supporting characters thirty years into the future, the protagonist finds the Earth ruined by a demon invasion, which is now the stage for an escalating conflict between the Order of Messiah and the Ring of Gaea, conflicting cults who wish to bring about kingdoms for their respective patron deities (YHVH and Lucifer). The story is influenced by moral decisions the protagonist makes, aligning him either with the Order, the Ring of Gaea, or setting him up as an independent agent. The gameplay uses first-person navigation of dungeons and turn-based battles against demons. The player can recruit demons as allies by talking to them rather than fighting them, and two to three demons can be fused to create new demons.Show more

I was so upset when support just stopped for SMTI's official translation. Despite the Japanese version making its way to switch online, for some reason the English translation never followed. I would love to be able to finish this game; I spent hours just replaying the start and having a great time.
i'll be so real. i haven't finished SMTI but getting this in an accessible fashion, on a platform most gamers can play, would absolutely change the game for SMT fans. it's such a neat game, w a compelling and curious story, and the graphical limitations only make it all the more inch resting. i hope it can come to GOG!
My favorite part of this game is that it was only available in English on iOS for a couple of years... while being older than me by 7 years... and has been on a ton of systems PlayStation, gameboy advanceed, snes, mega cd, and another console that was a monstrosity? oh also android... plus switch, and i think wii u/wii but it would be a emulated version of a previous version....i do enjoy the series and have gotten to play a little of this so i would love to actually play it officially without weird issues

I have played this game only a little. And predictably only an emulated version, due to the simple fact the game has never had an official release outside Japan. Excluding the brief and temporary release for iOS. Even with that, I know this and the other early SMT titles are extremely difficult. But with this series, it is part of the charm. If it were up to me, I'd certainly make it so that the games, including this, the very first one, would be accessible for people on newer devices. Could you actually make it happen? If you did, I'd be truly impressed.
One of the most impactful games I have ever played, and an essential for any Shin Megami Tensei/Persona fan to see how the series started. I could not vouch for any game as much as this one.
