Before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a saviour emerges, and they unite to become a mighty being, neither human nor demon: a Nahobino. The Shin Megami Tensei™ series has a rich history in the gaming space and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023.
The latest title in the series, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, allows players to enjoy the story of Shin Megami Tensei V in its entirety, with a new story path that was not told in the original release. In addition, Shin Megami Tensei V has fully evolved with stunning visuals tailored to modern consoles and new areas, demons and music to support an improved battle system, providing a smoother and richer RPG set amidst a war between demons and angels.
