Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

What would people do if they could see others’ deaths before they come to pass?  As devastation and ruin begin to spread, the player will have to use a mysterious website with the power to predict casualties in order to save lives, save themselves, and ultimately, save the city.

Building on the original game’s acclaimed foundation of accessible turn-based combat with elements of grid-based strategy, Devil Survivor 2 delivers everything fans loved about the first game: an intense narrative with multiple endings based on player actions, the beautiful visuals and sounds the Shin Megami Tensei series is renowned for, the addicting challenge of collecting, customizing, auctioning, and fusing every last demon in the game, and much more.  Moreover, a system akin to the Social Links found in Persona 3 and 4 allows players to invest time in developing bonds with their party members to unlock special rewards.  Those relationships become all the more precious since every party member in the game is vulnerable to permanent death based on critical player choices over the course of the game.  Every decision could easily be a matter of life and death.

SMT: Devil Survivor 2 for Nintendo DS is currently scheduled to release in 2012.
