Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers

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.

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

Love this franchise and bought this because I was afraid it would not come out in English. As I feared, it relies pretty heavily on knowing Japanese, which is why I am only giving it three instead of four stars. I hope a translation will come out soon on the web to help. Game has cut-out sprites, but three d for streets and other aspects is awesome. Great voices and music. Hope the game comes out in English.
