Jul 16, 2025Raidou Remasted is a genuine treat and well worth it. Not only is it a great title with a story you can get invested in, but last I checked it’s smoothly playable on Steam Deck and it released for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, so you can choose your poison for portability to play the game. It really did release on everything, and that’s just to the benefit of the player. ATLUS and SEGA really nailed it with this one, and I’m even more excited for whether they’ll remaster the sequel or not in addition.

Jun 18, 2025RAIDOU Remastered is a fun action RPG that successfully revitalizes one of Shin Megami Tensei’s classic PS2 games for the modern era while being faithful to the source material. While its characterization leaves something to be desired, it’s worth the price of admission for its wacky plot, revamped visuals and combat system, especially if you grew up playing the original game.

Sep 4, 2025RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is not a remaster that relies solely on nostalgia. With fully voiced storytelling and refreshed graphics, the sense of immersion has been deepened, and the Imperial Capital — where modernization and superstition, science and the occult intertwine — feels more alive. Battles have been refined into a polished action experience through a variety of new elements, while the distinctive resource management system feels innovative even today. The one shortcoming lies in the simplicity of ally demon AI, which at times clashes with the freedom of character development. Even so, this work has successfully transformed from an eccentric title into an epic that can truly reach a wide audience.

Jun 18, 2025RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army delivers an experience that deeply respects its roots while implementing key improvements to make it more accessible today. Its immersive setting, stylized characters, and agile combat with strategic elements enhance the charm of the title, while the supernatural story keeps interest from start to finish. The addition of new content and customization features also extends the journey's duration and appeal. On the other hand, some limitations from the original still linger. The linear structure, unintuitive exploration, and shallow use of investigation show that the game could have taken more risks in certain aspects. Nonetheless, the balance between nostalgia and renewal works: RAIDOU Remastered is a great opportunity to revisit — or experience for the first time — a unique and intriguing chapter of the Shin Megami Tensei universe.
