Initially Shin Megami Tensei series, Raidou Remake: The Mystery of the Ruthless Army Make yourself apart AtlusOther games. One aspect is that the tone of the story is located Shin Megami Tensei and Role‘It’s not like the end of the world Shin Megami Tenseibut you won’t be like Role. This helps Raidou remade Forge its unique identity in the SMT spin-off.
Although not a low point, The ruthless armyThe story is not the deepest. Although Raidou is a detective, there is no deep game mechanic involving solving mysteries. This is first and foremost an interesting action RPG, the protagonist happens to be a detective. The game tends to be a bit more case files, which is just an optional side task. However, they are fairly easy, just as Raidou brings a demon with thinking skills so that he can talk to animals.
These don’t actually require a lot of reconnaissance, just optional invasions, rewarding some useful items throughout his journey. It’s better to check expectations; you won’t be like Metaphor: Cute.

Another aspect of RAIDOU derivatives use is a real-time operating system, rather than a typical turn-based action system Role and Shin Megami Tensei have. Here, Raidou can fight exciting battles among the other two demons, which can only be enhanced by the new features of Remaster.
As mentioned in the preview, the game has undergone a huge overhaul of its combat system, making it similar to a sequel,Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddonits sword alchemy function exists in this new repairer. Raidou now has light attack ammunition, so players don’t have to worry about protecting special attacks compared to the original attack. Players can also lock enemies onto the enemy, which makes the battle feel smoother by ensuring that Raidou hits his target. All these new adjustments make Raidou remade It feels like a real modern game, not a game trapped in 2006.
Like Raidou himself, the demon has also undergone many changes. Compared to the original 70, Remaster now has over 120 demons to capture, create and train. This will open up more gameplay by allowing players to mix and match the effects brought by demons. Fusion of demons has never been easier. The extended search options make it easier for players to see which combinations produce new demons and make the process of completing the outline much less. My favorite new demon mechanic is that now my party gets everyone’s experience in fighting, not just fighting in battle. This reduces any unnecessary grinding, which may reduce the pace of the game.

In addition to combat changes, the gameplay outside of combat has been greatly improved. No more random encounters. Now that the enemy appears on the field, you can choose whether to interact with them before being hit to fight. These days, the feeling of random encounters is old and it feels great when I sometimes just want to improve in the story.
Now, quick travel between different locations is also available immediately, including automatic racks and quick save features, as well as modified mini-mapping and objective marking systems. These quality of life increase makes Raidou remade Much better than the original experience. However, the game can’t completely escape some of its outdated PS2 traits. In particular, it is annoying to navigate between towns and dungeons with fixed camera angles, and I keep causing me to run in the wrong direction when the camera suddenly shifts to another point of view. This is a confusing contrast to how to change the battle camera to allow full 3D rotation.
The speech itself has improved. Older Shin Megami Tensei The game and its derivatives have a uniquely charming art style, with its characters known for their thin body proportions and pale skin tones. They also have very obvious and stylized upper lips, which become unique marks AtlusIn the direction of art Shin Megami Tensei series. In this remake, the menu, color and character models are more vibrant, enhancing the retro visuals of the original PS2 (yes, the PS2 is now considered vintage).
The music also sounds better than ever Atlus A new arrangement for the original soundtrack has been made. fan Role The jazz song will be enjoyed while playing in the battle. The optimistic nature does fit in with the easier nature of Raidou’s adventure. However, when the battle begins, the music will intensify Shin Megami Tenseiiconic rock sound. The improvisation of the electric guitar is chopped with Raidou’s sword, and its powerful melody sounds like a welcome backward.

Wrap it all up, Raidou remade With a brand new sound performance, this makes the game more vivid than before. Given the workload Atlus Having raised this point, the sound performance is an impressive remake of the cherry.
Raidou Remake: The Mystery of the Ruthless Army It is the gold standard that all PS2 reforms need to be followed. It’s more of a remake than a remake, which proves the modern feel of this nearly 20-year-old game. The overhauled combat system and improvements in quality of life are not justified by any veteran’s return, but newcomers end up having no better place to experience this quirky place Shin Megami Tensei spin off. Hopefully we can see the follow-up activities, Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddonplease remade it and join the modern platform as soon as possible.
