Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance review: Atlus’ canon of redemption

Shin Megami Tensei V is the only game where you willingly disclose to a manic Demon with torture gear whether you’re a top or a bottom. Only a franchise as powerful as Atlus’ obscure, cult-classic JRPG could make you pity a disgustingly rotten, unwanted green Slime. I couldn’t get my fix for zany Demon dialogue and utterly unfiltered rejection in any other game. And you’ll be pleased to hear that in crafting Vengeance, Atlus has injected the same wickedly fun cruelty that fans adore the franchise for.

But Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance isn’t just the same ol’ snarky Demons making you feel like a loser, now in crispier 4K quality. This isn’t just a polished-up redo of the 2021 sensation. Instead, it’s a full-on revamp. Countless quality-of-life features, impressive new Demons and characters, and a major story overhaul give Shin Megami Tensei V—and Atlus as a whole—a redemption arc.
