description

Stylish, eerie and utterly unique, the devil summoners are back. This time, the Atlus game developers are taking gamers to a futuristic world. Amami City is one of the target cities of the government. Officials plan to build a virtual city Paradigm X over it. At first, people enjoy the convenience brought by this project. They can communicate with each other on the virtual streets and shop online. But such a project is bound to attract the attention of the hackers. The Player is one of these hackers. And with the Devil Summoning device Gump in his hands, he sets off with his hacker friends, the Spookies to discover the real objective behind the Paradigm X project.

Cyberpunk, demons, what's not to like?
Soul Hackers is not a full-on remake, and more of a re-release. But you know what? Considering how well the game holds up even today, that's ok. Soul Hackers may have a number of antiquated principles and mechanics, but none of them are unprecedented or that difficult to deal with. So long as you're willing to put up with a bit of age, you'll be diving into one of the most accessible and enjoyable Shin Megami Tensei games in the series.

Kinda dated, but still amazing
Even though you can feel the dated elements, such as the graphics style, combat, etc. the plot and characters are worth it.

An Atlus gem worth getting a JP Region 3DS for...
Soul Hackers was the only game in the Devil Summoner series that I wasn't able to play due to not owning a Sega Saturn, the only console it was initially released in. The 3DS makes it finally accessible, and the dungeon rendering in 3D first-person view really immerses you in the exploration.

Not requiring touch screen usage was also a plus, since RPGs live or die by how the controls run the pace of the game.

Since Atlus USA never localized the PSP remake of the first Devil Summoner, it's unlikely that they will touch this one either. If you simply MUST experience this game, start learning the lingo (or use a guide) and get a compatible 3DS for it.

Soul Hackers
Was surprised to hear this announced. The conversion isn't perfect, but I enjoyed the opportunity to play a masterpiece from Atlus' library.
