You get to play as Mot from SMT III: Nocturne; 10/10.

It feels like a waste of time...the story is completely hollow.
The most generic setup, in the most generic Tokyo, with the most generic students being kidnapped by the most generic demons and gods, it's all inconsistent.
The protagonist is as hollow as he looks, couldn't be more generic and all the choices you have to do through the game matter NOTHING except for adding Law/Chaos points for the very ending.

A demon is threatening a student?
You could choose between save her or attack the demon while it's distracted!
Great idea, except both actions lead to the same cutscene of the protagonist doing NOTHING and the girl dies. Oh yeah, in the background you get either a +1 Law or +1 Chaos point...amazing uh?

This is the whole game, an empty chase of pre-made cutscenes where your protagonist is an absolute idiot but is regarded as a demigod with potentially unlimited powers...which he never uses and looks around the world like a toddler.

The visuals are in my opinion awful...and I'm not talking about the graphics, it's simply that you'll spend many many hours in a red wasteland with the same assets of broken buildings/cars/streets over and over, it's kinda tiresome and completely uninteresting.

The combat is the classic Atlus combat, enemies have weaknesses, you waste the first turn using spyglasses to find out what they are weak against, you use the skills that are effective. Rinse and repeat.
I personally like it but there's nothing innovative if you're looking for that.

I came from SMT4 on 3DS, and there's literally no comparison, it's as if they stripped all that made the series amazing and left it with a bunch of busy quests while cutscenes try to tell you a very boring story.

Atlus doesn't miss

not the best rpg story i've played but i really enjoyed it, the game play and the music and character designs that part I LOVED, got those battle themes on repeat.

This>Metaphor

Shin Megami Tensei V is a fun dark dungeon crawler that's challenging but rewarding. This game has great traverse system compared to the other SMT titles and better mapping, this game also has the best demon fusion system they've made it eaiser in those terms but the game can still be brutal in SMT fashion. Music is great, and there's loads of new demons to recruit.

better than persona

7/10. Generic plot and characters. Combat is good.

Fun

This was the weirdest veggietales fan game I've ever played.
