Jun 12, 2024Part of what I love so much about this game, and series, is that it marches to the beat of its own drum – eschewing the RPG trends of the moment (no romances for you) and doubling down on what makes it great. A tight, infinitely satisfying combat system, fun and unpredictable demon negotiation, and a metal-as-hell world. Everything it sets out to do, it does well. Even if it does feel like you’re playing a glorified, modernised PS2 game. It’s intentional, and it rules.

Aug 18, 2024Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a must-play for fans of the series and RPG enthusiasts in general. With its cryptic and deep narrative, new layers of characters, and challenging combat system, the game keeps players hooked from start to finish. The blend of classic elements with modern innovations within the RPG genre makes this new iteration of the fifth installment a unique and memorable experience.

Jun 18, 2024In summary, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is an absolute gem, which not only leaves its exclusivity aside, but is now within the Xbox catalog and that you should not miss. Also, if you are a JRPG lover, this game is for you.

Jun 13, 2024There is no doubt that Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is the superior version. The improvements to player comfort alone transform the game already. If you include the new, reworked story that stands alongside the original for two separate playthroughs, as well as a ton of new content to add depth to an already very well-rounded and tactical combat system, you have one of the most impressive outings of Atlus to date. Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is an absolute treat for any JRPG fan and offers an amazing package for those looking to get into the genre, if they are willing to dive deep into the complex gameplay mechanics.

Jul 3, 2024Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a seriously addictive turn-based RPG that will impress returning players and enchant newcomers for hours on end. There’s a ridiculous amount of content and a huge roster of demons to engage with, as well as a shed load of welcome additions and improvements.

Jul 23, 2024If you loved the original form of Shin Megami Tensei V, then Vengeance is a fantastic complement to it, with a strong second story arc, excellent quality of life improvements, and a generally refined and improved JRPG experience fans of the genre will lap up vigorously. Yes, it’s still perhaps existing in the shadow of the Persona series with its litany of similarities, and doesn’t quite have the grace and style of its brethren, but it’s a hardcore RPG that blazes its own path (mostly), and does so with conviction and poise. Vengeance is therefore fully worthy of your attention and the amount of hours you’ll no-doubt pour into it.

Jun 25, 2024Vengeance is the definitive version of this Atlus effort. A JRPG that remains incredibly demanding, with constant traps and careful management, but with lots of new features and general refinement that make exploring these desolate places much more rewarding.
