Jun 18, 2025While some of the improvements and changes that Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army introduces to its gameplay make combat simpler than it should be, leaving aside some of the characteristic elements of the original installment and the Megami Tensei series, it is also true that many of its changes are positive, since they make the experience more accessible to today's audiences.

Jun 24, 2025Despite some flaws, RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is one of the most unique Atlus JRPGs in the Devil Summoner series. It might not have the polish of modern SMT titles, but it makes up for that with originality, rich humor, charm, and atmosphere.

Jun 18, 2025ATLUS has outdone itself with RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Middling story and wonky camera angles aside, it hits the sweet spot of monster taming and action combat without compromising on the complexities that make JRPGs captivating. Here’s to hoping that ATLUS reinvents and reinvigorates the RAIDOU series, as it’s a breath of fresh air for this Persona fan!

Jun 18, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is one of the more niche Atlus classics, but the remaster has been well worth the time and effort. There is a dark and culturally interesting heartbeat at the centre of this one, and while I do prefer turn-based combat to this action button-mashy stuff from Atlus, I was more than willing to put up with it for everything else about the game.

Jun 18, 2025Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is more than a remaster, it is the version that should have been originally released 20 years ago. It looks better, plays better and is less frustrating. This corrected and augmented version is a worthy return of a game that was eaten by its own obscurity and its original problems prevented it from transcending any further.

Jun 18, 2025RAIDOU Remastered somehow manages to thread the needle of creating a more polished version of a cult classic without compromising the mysterious, singular identity that made it memorable in the first place. It succeeds in offering new content that enhances the overall experience, all while honoring the original’s legacy. I can only hope Atlus will continue this effort.

Jun 20, 2025While Raidou himself is a silent protagonist, he’s still given a lot of character in the way he moves and dresses. I had a great time unpacking the game’s wild story, and knowing that a sequel to this game already exists has me hoping it will receive the same love in the future – because I want to see what Raidou the 14th gets up to next.

Jul 11, 2025This remaster shines thanks to its many gameplay improvements, visual enhancements, quality-of-life updates, and full Spanish localization, although its simplistic investigation mechanics and occasional repetition in demon interactions reveal its dated roots; still, it's a charming, accessible introduction to a lighter side of the Shin Megami Tensei universe.
