Shin Megamei Tensei - Strange Journey

I finally got to play this recently released game, its style is very old-school crpg with better music and higher resolution graphics. Old crpgs used simple tones to make tunes, I liken it to making catchy music with cell phone dial-tones.

Feels like playing bards tale 3 all-over again, travelling to different dimensions which have been twisted by the madness of a specific human vice. Where desire is god and higher human reasoning is absent. Design wise it resembles games like metroid and old castlevania games where it is impossible to access certain areas of the map until you get an upgrade or power-up which allows egress. Apart from the better graphics it plays very much like old-school console games.

Refreshing and nostalgic to an older gamer like me to see a company make a fun and traditional dungeon crawling rpg. Going to play devil survivor next!
