Finally the lost Shin Megami makes it's way to Northern shores and we are all ready!

Atlus has done a great job revamping this classic for it's journey to us and I am very happy with it, if you couldn't tell.

All the elements that we have come to expect from a Shin Megami title, demon recruitment, fusion, grinding, it's all here.

The game takes place in the future where the internet has integrated into everyday life. You are a member of "Spookies" an a elite hacker team who just found their way into a new digital world known as Paradime X.

Soon after the evil surfaces and demons are released and only "Spookies" can fight back.

The combat is standard turn-based and doesn't shine in it's respect here. Even the 3-D combat is useless. But it is very cool in the 3D dungeon crawling segments which makes up the bulk of the game. Visually this game seems a little outdated for it's time. So if you want to play a game from the 90s you can bring your 3DS with you!

Sadly that is the only straightforward part of the game.

I had to read the digital manual included to fully grasp all the different aspects of the game. On the hole, this is a true hardcore RPG for true Shin Megami fans. It pushes the difficulty of new hights and rewarding good players with secrets, demons and gear.

This game is action packed with different forms of demons, different ways to wins, and many moving parts that are involved during action sequences. 

The extra streetpass feature "Namichi" lets players pass each other and acquire D-Souls a form of currency to to progress Namichi or buy new powerful demons.

Our Honest View gives Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers 8 out of 10. This game made me happy to play an dbe a part of after I disliked Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Surivor Overclocked. I love having a real SMT title to play on the go in 3d. Of course there are always little things they could fix in order to make this better. Which is what I'm hoping for Shin Megami Tensei IV coming this summer to 3DS.
