The Megami Tensei franchise sees portable translation, the franchise existing for over twenty years. Atlus announced yesterday the upcoming Spring release of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for the Nintendo DS. The sci-fi, first person RPG plans to “tap into into mature themes of morality and introspection,” says Atlus. Heralded by Atlus as a “deep, rewarding RPG experience,” it may well be. Already released in Japan, coveted Famitsu gaming magazine gave the game the highest score the series ever earned, a 10/9/9/8.
The game takes place after a mysterious, growing black void appears at the Earth’s southern pole. An elite team of explorers endeavour to solve the problem. Shin Megami Tensei DS promises over 300 demons to bribe, coerce, and negotiate with to gain assistance in battle.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for Nintendo DS is currently scheduled for release in Spring 2010 and has not been rated.
