Shin Megami Tensei V
Description
Shin Megami Tensei V is a role-playing game that blends strategic combat, demon recruitment, and open-world exploration. Developed and published by Atlus for Nintendo Switch, it launched worldwide in November 2021 as the ninth mainline entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series.
Players become the Nahobino, a fusion of human and demon awakened in the post-apocalyptic realm of Da’at - an alternate Tokyo wracked by divine conflict after the Creator’s death. The gameplay features free-roaming traversal across thematic environments, strategic turn-based battles using the series’ iconic Press Turn system, and mechanics such as demon negotiation, fusion, magic ("Magatsuhi" skills), and upgrades via Glory or Demon Essences.
In June 2024, Atlus released Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, an enhanced edition featuring a new storyline route, additional demons, gameplay refinements, and quality-of-life improvements across multiple platforms.
