A young man lives together with his mother in Kichijoji, a district in modern Tokyo. One day, he has a strange dream: he is being sucked into another dimension, a strange maze-like structure. A spirit appears in front of him and asks him his name. As he proceeds further, he meets a man who is hanging on a cross, another one who is being tormented by a demon, and a mysterious young woman who is bathing in a pool.

"Wake up!" - the voice of his mother cuts through the dream. The young man wakes up and checks his computer. Suddenly, a message arrives: the world is headed towards destruction. Only he who can summon demons through a virtual space will be able to prevent a disaster. Unable to understand what that means, the young man goes outside and finds out a murder has occurred in the nearby park. The district must be cut off from the rest of the city until the murderer is found. As the young man acquires a device that allows him to communicate with demons, he begins to realize that his role in the upcoming events may be greater than he thought.

A follow-up to the first two Megami Tensei games, Shin Megami Tensei is a first-person RPG set in modern-day and post-apocalyptic Tokyo. The hero of the game can summon demons, who consume a mysterious energy called Magnetite, which can be obtained from battles. The summoned demon joins the party and is then fully controllable by the player. The active party can include up to six characters: the hero, the heroine, and four slots usually reserved for the demons, though other human characters might also join. There is a wide variety of demons in the game, most of which are taken from real-world mythologies. The demons have levels, individual statistics, spells, special abilities, etc.

Enemy encounters are random, and the first-person combat is turn-based. During combat, human characters can use swords or guns; the heroine is also able to learn and cast magic spells. Unlike most other Japanese RPGs, the game allows the player to raise the parameters of the two main characters manually when leveling up. A major gameplay element are demon conversations, which is usually the only way to recruit demons. Typically, the player has to convince the demon to join the party by choosing appropriate dialogue lines.

All the creatures in the world of Shin Megami Tensei belong to one of the three ideologies: Law, Chaos, or Neutral. The narrative is largely dedicated to conflicts between these ideologies; during several key moments in the story, the player has to decide which one to follow. Joining one of the ideologies influences the subsequent narrative as well as some gameplay elements: certain weapons can be only equipped by a follower of a specific ideology, demons are more likely to join the hero if he shares their ideology, etc.

Jeu assez sympa, avec ses hauts et ses bas. Comme la description le dit, c'est un Pokemon-like mais beaucoup plus véner' tant au niveau de la difficulté que de l'histoire. Le Japon est envahi par les démons et il va falloir s'adapter très vite si vous voulez arriver au bout du jeu, qui est manifestement assez long.

 

Le gameplay au tour par tour est très sommaire mais efficace, SI vous savez à quoi correspondent les sorts et les objets. En effet, le jeu est TOTALEMENT dépourvu de description, ce qui est certainement son plus gros défaut à mes yeux. L'interface est assez confuse et la fan-trad anglaise a quelques problèmes. 

Vous devrez donc piffer, expérimenter et surtout retenir ce que fait chaque sort, chaque objet, chaque arme, chaque caractéristique... C'est très frustrant et je vous recommande de soit avoir un guide à proximité soit une feuille sur laquelle vous noterez à quoi servent les choses.

 

D'autant plus qu'il faudra apprendre vite, car une fois passé le prologue, le jeu vous balancera rapidement beaucoup de combats aléatoires. Parfois vous tomberez sur un ou deux démons faibles, parfois sur sept ou huit démons forts. Oui, ça rigole pas du tout.

C'est dommage parce que si vous passez ces gros défauts, l'histoire et le lore sont très sympas, le jeu a plusieurs twists qui relance l'intrigue et la bande-son est très chouette. Vous pouvez passer un bon moment, mais il faudra aimer ce genre d'ambiance et surtout, avoir des nerfs en acier trempé. Perso, je le recommande malgré tout, je pense que c'est un jeu à tester au moins une fois.

 

Voici un speedrun sur Youtube, histoire que vous vous fassiez une idée.
