Atlus·Released Jun 14, 2024·Single player
Embark on this definitive version of the critically acclaimed Shin Megami Tensei V, massively expanded with a brand-new storyline featuring new locations, demons, and choices to make that will dictate the fate of all existence.
It doesn't make drastic improvements on original, but its additions are reason enough to revisit an already great RPG.
Vengeance provides a host of additions, improvements, and quality-of-life adjustments that transform an already-great RPG into a classic.
God’s not in heaven, all’s wrong with the world
A garden of diabolical delights make this port feel brand new.
Vengeance is aptly titled; it’s an act of defiance against convention, criticism, and maybe even its own reputation.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is the definitive way to play Atlus' devilish game of demon fusion, with a new suite of bells and whistles to smooth over what can, at times, still be an abrasive gameplay experience. It's incredibly combat-heavy, which can become oppressive, but working towards raising that perfect demon remains as engaging as ever.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a stellar example of an enhanced re-release done right. Its comprehensive approach to improving the story and various gameplay systems of the original release makes for an experience that's even more engrossing than the already excellent original game. Though we were disappointed by the lack of any performance gains here, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is still an extremely easy recommendation for any RPG fans. Some may consider SMT to be "Persona without the heart," but SMT V: V cleanly demonstrates that this old Atlus stalwart still has an abundance of fantastic gameplay and unique appeal.
