You can eat bodies.
You can grow two heads.
You can cut on head, and put the face on your not severed face.
You can inject yourself with love potion and fall in love with a sign.
You can see the future.
You can die in the future and return to the present.
You can buy this game and thank me later.
10/10 legendary product.

A short but immensely deep game about brotherhood and family.

The controls are kinda wonky at first.

I wanted to write a proper review for this game but it would be a waste of time just like playing this masquerading as rpg Final Fantasy game, the further you go the worse it gets.

It's better than the remake just by a little bit, but honestly it's just an amazing looking game with the depth of toddler bathtub obscured by tons of options and things that don't really make any difference to how it plays from start to end.

It's Kingdom Hearts game masquerading as a Final Fantasy, it's bottom of the barrel gameplay and writing.
It's buggy as hell.

Shame on you Square, just shame on you.

Atlus strikes again with their turn based demon collecting legendary production of Shin Megami.
Vengeance brings alot to the table with some QoL improvements, new quests, new bosses and overall a decent shake up of things compared to the base version.

The game is huge, has multiple endings as you would expect. The design of subquests is simple, which is good in this instance as the game is vast in it's collection of demons, which you fuse, add skills, add points to them.

The graphics are top notch, the music is amazing, it's easily one of the best soundtracks out there.

Where the game stumbles is character writing and overall plot, which barely deviates from save the world this and that. The best character change is easily in Canon of Vengeance, while the rest kinda limps along.

I had way more fun in this then I did in Metaphor as you are not time constrained by anything. You go out in the field and get the job done.

pros
- graphics and music
- tons of demons
- upgrading and fusing skills
- bosses in vengeance

cons
- superbosses are a pain, even on easy, but hey, it's a challenge, so it's only a con for me, as I don't have time to grind perfect demons
- character writing is weak, while storyline is more of the same schtick of recreate the world

Verdict
Get it, you will have ton of fun in this one, personally it's up there with Persona 5 as one of the best Atlus games.

An Atlus classic that stands the test of time to this day. The game differs from their other ventures. because in this one your protagonist is the most important, if he dies it's game over. You collect demons that join your party of max 4 teammates (protag + 3 demons) and make your way to create a new world. Other than that is a standard experience of turn based combat and raising your stats, while learning new skills through Magatamas.

pros
- creepy, almost silenthilly vibe
- lot of demons to find and create
- replayability
- soundtrack

cons
- remaster is well, it sucks, gsync problems right off the bat
- the UI didn't age that well
- early game ganks end your game, but that's a small nitpick

Overall it's a very good game, marred by a not so great port, that was lazily slapped together. But if you are in that Atlus fever of jrpgs it's an easy recommend.

I had a fun time with this one, but I focused mainly on exploration. If base building is your thing you gonna have a wild time in this game, it's really fun.

Heavy CPU usage detected.
