One of the best ways of constructing an exceptionally powerful party member in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is by intelligent use of the Password system. By manipulating this system, the player can bring in demonic allies from other player’s games, re-use the normally single use Demon Sources, and in general, snap the balance of this game like a toothpick. This week, we’ll take a look at some basic strategies for abusing passwords for fun and profit. Continue reading ‘Strategy Session – Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Part II’ »

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, the most recent addition to the rather scant roll of the series’ mainline continuity, is a game with significance for the series as a whole. As the central pillar of the Shin Megami Tensei series, the mainline entries have always been fairly old school dungeon crawling affairs, considerably darker than the numerous side stories that have spun off of them. It has been a major point of curiosity to see which direction Atlus would take the series: outward into the younger, more upbeat world of spinoffs such as Persona and Devil Survivor, or back inwards, towards the darker, more chaotic entries of the early series. Interestingly, Strange Journey seems content to pick its own path, taking to heart many of the upgrades the series has seen in interaction and depth of character, while maintaining the disturbing, often sharply critical edge the older Shin Megami Tensei games had. The end result doesn’t quite have the same bite as Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, but Strange Journey‘s excellent story, solid character customization scheme, and exceptional dungeon design mark it as an excellent game in its own right.

The packed-in soundtrack CD for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey may not play properly, according to Atlus.

In the meantime, those with malfunctioning CDs can input their information and receive a replacement disc through the company’s website.

Professional niche-fillers Atlus announced today that Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is coming to the Nintendo DS in North America. A first-person sci-fi RPG, Strange Journey centers around unexplained phenomena at the southern pole of the Earth, and a team of specialists is sent into the heart of the mysterious, growing black void to find out what’s going on. As per usual, players will have the option of doing battle with, negotiating, or bribing various monsters along the way. Here’s hoping that demons from another plane of existence take AmEx.
Further information is available on the official website. Strange Journey is slated for a March 10, 2010 release.

Veterans of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and the latter two Persona games will be all to familiar with this scenario: trying to fuse two demons together only to spend forever flipping back and forth and back and forth in a vain attempt to have your new demon inherit at least one of the skills you, y’know, actually want. Well, Atlus has finally heard our prayers and has created an item that actively gives fused demons specific skills.
