Three years after its initial release, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance remains the perfect JRPG, which shines in the new edition with better performance and an expanded story. Sensible additions to the game elements also make it easier to get started without scaring off hardcore fans, for whom new conveniences remain optional. A clear recommendation for anyone who has always wanted to get into the franchise or is simply in the mood for one of the best modern JRPGs.
Just as it was in 2021, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is positioned as a must-see game, and something that JRPG fans have to play no matter what, even in a year where this genre has not stopped giving us some of its best modern exponents.

If you ask me, the best game ever made. Combat, fusion, music, choices, and story are the best they've been across the series. This game will absolutely make you think before heading into battle, choosing a skill, fusing, or making dialogue choices.
I only wish it were a little bit harder. everything gives too much xp. Maybe Atlus can add a DLC difficulty later? Please?

There’s simply nothing else on the market right now like this series – a tonally unhinged pop-cosmopolitan-apocrypha-anime-apocalyptic JRPG that plays like Pokemon on steroids. Just like the best SMT games, its plot is rich as syrup and just as opaque. Read too close into the nonsensical jumble of mythological creatures and themes and you’re sure to be nauseated. However, supposing you can appreciate the excess of everything and have played a few turned-based RPGs before, Vengeance is simply the most approachable and engrossing core Shin Megami Tensei game currently on the market and the best way to check out this weirdo series.
Vengeance is undoubtedly the definitive and best way to play Shin Megami Tensei V, with a fantastic new narrative path and quality-of-life adjustments that are so good you wonder how the game was released without them. Featuring fantastic turn-based combat that constantly keeps you on your toes, and a darker tone to the world and narrative, you'd be missing out if you didn't decide to dive into Vengeance either for the first time or as someone who has already played the original game.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a great RPG that represents the franchise well, presenting a dark and terrible world in a way that is accessible to newcomers and welcoming to veterans. However, its large size can make the experience a little dull and repetitive.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is an incredible expansion that adds a slew of new content and previous DLC for free, well-needed gameplay improvements and quality-of-life changes. While they don't solve most of the game's core issues, the added content more than makes up for it and provides a stellar experience that quickly proves its superiority to the base game.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is the definitive way to play Atlus' devilish game of demon fusion, with a new suite of bells and whistles to smooth over what can, at times, still be an abrasive gameplay experience. It's incredibly combat-heavy, which can become oppressive, but working towards raising that perfect demon remains as engaging as ever.
As someone who loves the original SMT V on Switch and us playing the new one again on Switch. The way they have fleshed out the characters and story just by adding a few things here and there throughout and theBIG changes they made in the new canon of vengeance arc this game is an absolute masterpiece for me now

Better by every measure. The og was amazing, save for the mediocre story, but the new canon of vengeance storyline really rectified this. The bosses, demons and content are some of the most enticing reasons atlus has given us to buy their game for a second time, besides the fact it is on more powerful hardware this time around. Which, in and of itself is a pretty big reason.

WARNING: If you are a "Casual" gamer, do NOT play this game on "NORMAL" or "HARD" difficulty. I barely beat this game on the default difficulty, it's really that hard!
REVIEW: I'm divided with this game story because CoV is a good story, but CoC is a bad story. At least the gameplay is fun, and there is a ton of variation with unique enemies that have cool designs. I recommend this to experienced JRPG gamers. But for casual gamers like me, all I have to say is to beware of this game's difficulty.
