Shin Megami Tensei IV Review Log: Combat - GameRevolution

GR: "I've been hopelessly entrenched in SMT IV's extensively modern combat system. Combat in SMT IV gives you control over your own powers and abilities, but also those of up to three demon companions, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. You build your team up by conversing with demons and convincing them to join your side, but I'll have more on that in a separate post. Bottom line, choosing your moves smartly can make you a dominant demon wielder and give you an incredible feeling of success."

It looks kind of awesome and kind of ehh. I wish the battle view wasn't First Person. It never looks as good like that IMO. I prefer a side view or angled top down or a ton of other views but first person for some reason doesn't immerse me into the game it actually takes me out of it.

Probably just me. I'm also not into dark stuff or demons or anything so that doesn't appeal to me, but the quality of the game is there. You can see it without having to like it.

How are the mainline SMT games different from Persona?

dbjj120883941d ago

They don't have the "real-world" vs "shadow-world" thing going on.

dedicatedtogamers3941d ago

The difference?

Persona is more "save the world...with the power of friendship! Y-you wanna d-date ME, senpai?!?"

SMT is more "demons have infected your body and now it's up to you to either destroy the human race to pave the way for God's Kingdom or partner up with Lucifer to fight against Heaven"

TongkatAli3941d ago (Edited 3941d ago )

Uh WHATTTTTTT ! Who is the good side ? I wanna fight for that side.

chadboban3941d ago

Or go neutral and kill everyone.

dedicatedtogamers3941d ago

@ TongkatAll

That's kinda the point. The main SMT games tend to blur the lines between who is "good" and "evil".

@ chadboban

Yep, exactly. ;)

doctorstrange3941d ago

I misread that as log combat, which would be awesome

dbjj120883941d ago

You can beat people with logs in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Maybe that's the cross over?

The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.

I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.

TeamIcoFan1518d ago

Why, so you can pirate those versions as well?

Neonridr1518d ago

my kid played through Mario 3D Land on his 2DS. Was still a great game with or without the 3D. A Link Between Worlds is awesome with the 3D effect, but it would still be an amazing game if it wasn't 3D

XxINFERNUSxX1518d ago

It's true I mostly torrent PC games very few I will buy but Switch games I buy just a few though and only ones that are at least a 9 out of 10 rating. 👍😁

Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.

King_Noctis1518d ago

The World End With You is already on the Switch.

Segata1518d ago

That was DS not 3DS and it's already on Switch.

Rebel_Scum1518d ago

How can you have Ocarina in the list and not Majoras Mask as well. Weird.

The correct answer is Kid Icarus Uprising.

Top 10 Best Atlus Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to naming gaming’s most revered and fan honored labels, it’s hard to top Atlus. The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"

How can Persona 4 Golden not be here? That must be a mistake.

RazzerRedux1549d ago

Because of their own stupid self-imposed rule:

"Only 1 game per main series but spinoffs are ok."

knickstr1549d ago

I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.

TheColbertinator1549d ago

Nocturne, DDS and Devil Survivor 2 are all missing. Weak list.

KaiPow1549d ago

Yeah, I would certainly replace SMT IV with Nocturne on that list. Team over the original TC is another strange choice.

MWH1549d ago

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is my personal favorite.

RazzerRedux1549d ago

Until P5, P3 was my favorite. They are all so good though.

ecchiless1549d ago

Atlus need to remake persona 2 sin and eternal, best persona games for me.

MWH1549d ago

man that would be a gamer's wet dream coming true.
