by Rainier on June 26, 2009 @ 12:19 a.m. PDT

Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

  • Devil Survivor (NDS)

  • We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...

Devil Survivor (NDS)

Devil Survivor invigorates the heralded series with an unprecedented RPG/SRPG combat system and more character customization options than ever before, all wrapped within a compelling, branching narrative.  For the first time in the series, players can use a new Demon Auction feature to collect and eventually fuse demons as they seek to create the most powerful party.

Tokyo is in full lockdown, the government's swift, coldblooded response to a surprise demon invasion.  Trapped within the sprawling metropolis is the city's helpless populace, forced to turn on each other in order to survive.  A mysterious piece of technology, the COMP, falls into the hands of you and your peers.  This device allows you to form contracts, forcing demons to serve you in battle against the otherworldly creatures.  There are others with COMPs, so-called demon tamers, who seek to use the demons to satisfy their own whims-be they for justice, peace, or power-in the chaos that was once downtown Tokyo.
 
Where did the demons come from?  Why did they appear?  Who created the COMPs, and what is their purpose?  These questions must soon be answered, for if you fail to solve the mystery, much more is at stake than your own lives.

Key Features

  • Shin Megami Tensei goes portable - The absorbing story, addictive demon-fusing, and hardcore RPG battle that define the Shin Megami Tensei experience finally arrive on Nintendo's popular dual screen handheld. Expressly designed for Nintendo DS, SMT makes a seamless transition with trademark gameplay features built into an intuitive presentation you can take anywhere!
  • Collect and fuse demons like never before - Demon collection is updated for a new generation: competitive bidding determines the outcome!  Place your winning bid through the easy-to-use menu interface to add new demons to your roster. Then, fuse them together to create new, more powerful creatures to aid you in battle.
  • Hybrid SRPG/RPG combat system - A perfect synthesis of strategy and traditional RPG combat, you'll need more than the usual battle strategy to come out on top. Deployed in teams of 2-3, you must choose the right combination of human and demons for each unit placed on the grid, then prepare to launch into first person turn-based battle in the tradition of the classic RPGs!
  • Many possible conclusions - An epic story of mythological proportions lets you decide whether your loyalties lie with the angels, demons, or only yourself. Decisions made throughout the game will affect the course of the story, ultimately ending in a showdown where your choice of alliance will determine the survival of thousands.

Devil Survivor, rated "T" for Teen, is now available in North America.
