'Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse' (3DS) Announced - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 18, 2016 @ 5:09 p.m. PDT

Overlapping the story of the original SMTIV, the upcoming game focuses on a Hunter cadet protagonist who gets killed by one of the demons treating post-apocalyptic Tokyo as their personal playground.

However, the mysterious god Dagda resurrects the protagonists in exchange for his fealty, and sets him on a perilous path that treads the fine line between peace and anarchy. Is Dagda simply an opportunistic lesser god or is he part of something much bigger?

The plot of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse overlaps with Shin Megami Tensei IV (and features some familiar characters), but no previous experience with the original is required!

"But wait!" you'll say. Why is the name different than the Japanese release? Well, we have a little bit of insight on that


Key Features:

  • Divine Intrigue - Choose between peace or anarchy while being a pawn in the gods' chess game. 
  • Combat Partners - Hunting demons is dangerous, so count on some backup! Alongside the standard three demons, players will be able to rely on one of seven partners to help win battles.
  • Oodles of Demons - Be on your guard because Tokyo is infested with a series record 450+ demons to fight, fuse, or recruit.
  • Revamped Demon Fusion - Demons will have affinities for certain skills, so players can better plan the outcome of fusions.
  • Classic SMT Combat - Prospective Hunters will exploit weaknesses, boost attributes, and unlock skill bonuses with the returning Press Turn and Smirking systems.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse will be available physically and digitally for $49.99/CA$64.99.
