Become a mighty demigod and battle through a decimated Tokyo in a war between angels and demons. Make new allies along your journey, engage in intense, turn-based combat, recruit hundreds of demons and forge your own path to dictate the fate of all existence.
The game's signature "Press-Turn" battle system rewards players for exploiting enemy weaknesses and punishes mistakes. Each turn, the player and enemies receive a set number of actions, which can be consumed more efficiently by hitting opposing weaknesses. Carefully constructing a party of complementary demons, each with unique skills and abilities, allows players to create powerful synergies and overcome the game's unforgiving difficulty.
Players can negotiate with and recruit over 270 demons from mythology and folklore to join their party. These demons can then be fused together, enabling deep customization and the creation of increasingly powerful entities. Mastering the intricacies of team building, such as understanding element weaknesses and demon abilities, is essential for success in the game's challenging battles.
The open-world environment of post-apocalyptic Tokyo offers players the opportunity to encounter resources, items, and optional encounters that can aid in their progression. Character growth is facilitated through a deep skill tree and the ability to fuse more powerful demons, incentivizing thorough exploration and careful decision-making.
The Vengeance edition introduces several quality of life features, such as the ability to save anywhere in the field, increased protagonist stat gains, and streamlined negotiation mechanics. These improvements make the overall gameplay experience more accessible and enjoyable for players, while maintaining the series' renowned challenge and depth.
