The real strategy comes with the use of the gun, where you get a myriad of bullets to switch around with, like Fire, Ice, Lighting, etc. You get a three way strike, a heavy attack and a charge move. Your moves with the sword is pretty limited. You have a sword strike, a gun, and the ability to use items. Instead of the usual turn-based RPG strategy, you are now fighting in a movable environment not unlike the Tales games. You have run ins with plenty of demons and in true SMT fashion, the encounter rates are insanely high and obnoxious. You get to explore the city to a limited degree at the start, but it slowly opens up to you the more you get further into the case. And people say that Persona is ruining the serious tone of the SMT games. Hell, Soul Hackers had you fight a guitar wielding rockabilly, a Mary Poppins wannabe with a weaponized umbrella and a talking monkey. The Devil Summoner games were always weird.

With a sword and a gun and the ability to control demons, you take a job at the Narumi Detective Agency and take up a case involving a young girl who is being hunted by a mysterious force of undead soldiers while also finding out the cause of a strange occurrence of demon possession in the city, leading you down a path of demons trying to hustle you, a talking cat, and an android Rasputin that does the cosack dance and attacks you with Russian babushka dolls because Russia… Yeah, this game is weird. You play as Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th, from a long line of Kuzunoha, with the responsibility of protecting Japan. Hell, Raidou wasn’t even the first Devil Summoner game to do it, with the first one, Soul Hackers, taking place in a cyberpunk Japan… but I’m getting off topic. It wasn’t the first time SMT went into different time periods, with SMT 2 being in a futuristic setting. So most SMT games take place in modern day Japan, in one form or another, but Raidou Kuzunoha takes place in 1930s Japan. But I digress, let’s see why Raidou fell into obscurity and if he should make a grand return or die in the fandom’s flames like Persona 5: Dancing Star Night. That's ten dollars less than most modern games, and if Overwatch is any example, better quality then some modern games. I was lucky enough to get a freshly sealed copy for around $50. This game ranges from sixty dollars to a hundred and twenty.

Raidou Kuzunoha is not just an obscure game, but it’s obscure with a price tag. Why is this game forgotten? Could it be due to other SMTand Persona games clouding it? Or could it be because of how hard it is to get these days. This is a game that not a lot of fans talk about for some reason, despite Raidou, the main character, making appearances in other SMT games, including the previously mentioned Nocturne, in Japan only releases, and even got a sequel. The Soulless Army… Yeah, that’s a mouthful.

The Soulless Army, or the full title, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha Vs.

Then there’s me, an asshole who still has a PS2 in 2020. But there’s one PS2 title that has gone obscure, even among SMT fans, with only true elitists discussing it. Even the other spin off franchise on the PS2, Digital Devil Saga, is getting some love. But thanks to cult status, SMT Nocturne has seen a sort of resurgence in popularity. Thus began the hellstorm of Persona spin-offs, resulting in the trash fire that is the Persona 5 spin-offs that we currently toil in today. Atlus came to the conclusion that mainline SMT was out and SMT spin-offs were in. So of course, it was a financial failure. Regardless, Nocturne was a brilliant game with amazing gameplay, art and music, with no other RPG like it at the time. There are some people who don’t know about it, or absolute heathens, some of them known as sundaes that are of the plastic variety, that say it’s just bad, which is fine, one is entitled to their opinion no matter how wrong they are. But this is not about me gushing over how great SMT Nocturne is. And I’m not just saying that because it’s really Persona that people care about and Shin Megami Tensei has flown under the radar completely, no I’m not bitter, you’re bitter.

So the Shin Megami Tensei franchise is a pretty well known series of games.
