A brooding, deliberate RPG where survival through careful strategy and devouring enemies feels tense and foreboding against a bleak sci-fi backdrop.

About
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga follows Serph and his four companions as they set out for Nirvana, a land that can only be reached by the champions of Junkyard. A mysterious object awakens demonic powers within the group, allowing each member to transform into a deadly beast. As one of these characters, you can devour your enemies and absorb their powers and special abilities. Defeat opposing tribes by protecting yourself from enemy attacks, deflecting their blows, and performing linked attacks.
What players say
A bleak, demon-devouring sci-fi RPG with a tenebrous world, sharp press-turn combat and a heavy, philosophical atmosphere unlike other JRPGs. A revered cult classic praised in Japan for its layered worldview, though its boss difficulty and split-into-two release drew some pushback.
