I played only one Shin Megami Tensei game. “Hey, this will be like the Persona spinoff series but with an emphasis on turn-based combat against colorful demons,” I thought. It is true, it is! But it’s as hard as a rock and I just die and die and die until I give up.
Today I’m excited for two reasons: Shim Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is heading to PC, and it will come with a new “Merciful” difficulty setting.
Shin Megami Tensei 3 was first released on PlayStation 2 in 2003, and the HD remaster was released in parts of Asia last October. It features higher resolution 3D models and backgrounds, the ability to save anywhere, new voiceovers and other new content, but is otherwise a faithful recreation of the original game.
This European release is the first time the main series has hit PC (don’t tell me with the two weird exceptions), and continues Atlus’ recent trend of bringing their classic RPGs to PC. Last year, they released Persona 4 Golden on Steam with great success – although it was a port of a PSvita game and a bit tough around the edges as a result. Nocturne HD Remaster was designed for PlayStation 4 and looks much sleeker.
If you’re unfamiliar with SMT3, it’s about a high school student from Tokyo who transforms into “Half-Demon” after an apocalyptic event fills the city with demons. Like you do. You fight these demons in turn-based battles and recruit them to fight alongside you. The Persona series has grown in popularity, but is a spin-off of Megami Tensei.
Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster will be released on May 25 via Steam.
