Jul 21, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army not only brings back a classic but reverently improves on it. The updated graphics and voice work create a more in-depth story from the original, and thankfully the Switch 2 can handle every aspect with little to no frame drops. With a fancy new move set and an extra battle partner to boot, solving the Capital’s supernatural threats is more refined than ever before. Set your pace with any difficulty and join Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and his trusty black cat to solve the case!

Jun 29, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army serves as a faithful, yet significantly refined take on its source material. It stays close to its PS2 roots visually, while adding much-needed quality of life improvements like a fresh UI and enhanced 3D environments. Expressive voice acting and a fantastic array of demons also add color to an engaging, mysterious plot. Unfortunately, there are some aspects that don’t quite land – demon investigations feel a little flat and combat, though improved, can feel a tad clunky at times. All in all, though, this is a lovingly crafted remaster that had me hooked throughout.

Jul 1, 2025RAIDOU Remastered is a successful reintroduction of a forgotten SMT spin-off. Its unique mix of action and demon management still holds up, despite some dated elements. A solid entry point for new players.

Jun 18, 2025Raidou Remastered makes the slower, heavily outdated original a lot more accessible, allowing its atmosphere to be experienced more easily today. At the same time, it has to make significant changes to the original framework to achieve that. I’d love to see the second game get a remaster as well, but if Atlus truly wants to make the subseries relevant again, it would be better off launching an entirely new title. If Raidou Remastered has taught me anything (again), it’s that Raidou is more than worth it.

Jun 18, 2025RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a worthwhile throwback to a time where ATLUS was doing anything and everything with Shin Megami Tensei. Some changes may take away from the original experience, but this remastering makes for a novel adventure that I sincerely hope ATLUS expands on in the future.

Jun 18, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army will appeal to Atlus fans both for its familiar narrative and its very different approach to the usual turn-based combat. However, it's still a title that, despite the facelift, is almost two decades old, so there are certain limitations you should be aware of before jumping in.

Jun 18, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is an interesting game with very good ideas that has been improved with a lot of skill but that in turn weighs down some difficult problems to solve. The combat lacks forcefulness to be more fun as the hours go by, but it makes up for it with a greater depth in the management of demons and skills.
