Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

Bound in Blood

While I enjoyed what Devil Survivor had to offer, I never really felt too drawn into the game's world. Where the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona titles remain some of my favorite RPGs thanks to their interactivity and engaging plots, Devil Survivor really only lets you take the driver's seat when you're fighting. Aside from navigating menus and occasionally selecting different answers in conversations, there's not much to do other than wait for catastrophes to occur, intervene, fight demons, repeat. Still, aficionados of the Megami Tensei universe will undoubtedly get a kick out of the game's intriguing story and colorful cast while fans of turn-based combat might just find an addicting and innovative adventure - just don't expect an RPG that'll re-invent the wheel.

PROS: Nice character designs; intriguing story
CONS: Underwhelming presentation; mundane battles

3.5 out of 5?
To me that just seems low. If you're thinking about buying this game, please don't make your final decision on this review. This game is addictive and fun, with tons of demons, devils, customizations, and playability. This is the first turn-based RPG i've bought since final fantasy 7 (that was a long time ago) and i just can't put this game down. I'd absolutely recommend it to any gamer who enjoys leveling up their character(s) and kicking some A$$!
