In the time between Shin Megami Tensei V’s announcement and release, three different versions of Skyrim came out. Six Call of Duties were released. As did a torrent of phenomenal JRPGs that reinvigorated and changed the foundations of the genre. Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of Arise, Persona 5, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Nier: Automota, Dragon Quest XI, and of course the return of the king with Final Fantasy VII REMAKE.

“Shin Megami Tensei 5 is yet another gem for the Nintendo Switch that every JRPG fan needs to check out.”
Shin Megami Tensei V’s advancements in combat and demon fusion make for an incredible RPG with some minor problems that do little to tarnish the full experience.
It’s been a while since I’ve played a JRPG quite as captivating as Shin Megami Tensei V. Its dangerous world is a pleasure to explore, and recruiting a small army of demons is shockingly addictive. Some may be disappointed by the lack of story scenes, but I enjoyed the fact that it just lets you get on with developing your party without any fluff; the focus here is on the journey. If you’re a Shin Megami Tensei fan or into RPGs that favour gameplay over storytelling, consider this a must-have.
If you're in for a challenge and got time on your hands, then Shin Megami Tensei V has a lot of content for you to enjoy. Certain parts might seem a little dragged out, but it's a fantastic RPG on the Nintendo Switch with in-depth gameplay systems that is equal parts punishing and rewarding.

Shin Megami Tensei V, or SMTV for short, is the most high profile release the series has ever had, period. Up until now it has been one of those series that, while being popular in Japan, was still a niche interest here in the West. I am reminded of the massive success seen by Fire Emblem: Awakening, which brought the then-waning franchise into a worldwide spotlight that renewed interest in the Fire Emblem series for years to come. It feels as if this was ATLUS’ attempt at the same trick Wh...
It's been a long time since I've disliked the start of a game as much as Shin Megami Tensei V's first 15 hours, but the demon fusing/fighting fun is bigger than ever for those willing to force their way through it.Read More
It has been eight years since Shin Megami Tensei IV was released on the Nintendo 3DS. And while the reception to this game was overall positive, it was time for a new game, and Atlus agreed. Thus Shin Megami Tensei V was born, and I couldn't wait to see what…
An entertaining JRPG for those that can handle the initial frustrations while setting up!
