I'm not quiteР’В talking about a huge map encompassing the entirety of the game world, like some sort of modern Ubisoft title. Well, not quite let's say semi-open world. These often involved finding your way through labyrinthian mazes or precarious puzzlesР’В and the like.Р’В The trend away from the crawl is maintained here, as SMT V continues to move inР’В the opposite direction.Р”Р‡or the most part, Shin Megami Tensei V is an open-world game.

While theР’В dungeon crawling elements that birthed the series have slowly been tapering away, their influence was noticeably still present in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and to a lesser extent Shin Megami Tensei IV. What makes SMT V different from nearly any Atlus game that has come before it is expressly itsР’В overall structure, which I'm going to spend a good percentage of this review discussingР’В because it is easily the component most unique to SMT 5 when compared to its franchise counterparts. In that excitement though, I've also seen a lot of concern and curiosity in wondering what exactly SMT V *is*, both from those very familiar with the series and those hoping to jump in for the first time.Р”Р‡or that reason, I think it is especially useful if I spend some words precisely describing what Shin Megami Tensei V is, as well as what it is not. It's only natural of course -Р’В it's been at least ten years since the last home console-bound entry in the franchise (the specifics are perhaps up to debate depending if you consider spinoffs like Devil Summoner or Digital Devil Saga as proper SMT games or not). In the lead up to the series's first simultaneous worldwide launch, we at RPG Site have seen a lot of excitement for Shin Megami Tensei V. But needless to say, the franchise has changed quite a bit from its dungeon-crawling origins. All of those components are certainly still present, in some form,Р’В in Shin Megami Tensei's fifth main entry. Atlus has never before functionally made a game with theР’В same sort of design thatР’В SMT V exhibits.Р’В I'm notР’В talking about the broader concepts of gods versus demons, order versus chaos, the mixed occultism & science fiction, or anything like that. I'm not trying to be colorful or poetic I mean that as literally as possible.

Atlus has never before made a game quite like Shin Megami Tensei V.
