Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker

Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker is an enhanced port of Devil Survivor 2 made exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. The port features voice acting for most dialogue, a casual mode, a new female character, and a new scenario that takes place after the battle with the Septentriones that can be accessed from the start of the game. It is a sequel to the 2011 Nintendo 3DS role-playing game remake of Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor Overclocked.

Devil Survivor 2 begins with the Protagonist and his friend, Daichi, returning from a mock exam, along with their classmate Io. The three of them receive an email on their cellphones from Nicaea, a website that forewarns its users of the death of a friend. The email contains a video showing them dying from a freak subway accident. Immediately after, the scene is enacted, but the students survive after being contacted by an avatar from Nicaea.

As soon as they enable the applications on their cellphone, more demons appear and attack them. The Protagonist, along with Daichi and Io, defeat the demons and become Demon Tamers, allowing them to summon demons to use to fight along them after fulfilling a contract with them. Devil Survivor 2 is a tactical role-playing game. Like in the previous Devil Survivor game, in combat situations, the player takes on the role of a young demon tamer and is free to interact with other characters at the cost of time going by or to engage in free battles that do not make time continue.

In fights with the computer opponent to defeat enemies and satisfy certain objectives such as helping other characters, while avoiding conditions that will end the mission in failure. In three versus three battle phase, the battle is presented in first-person and traditional turn-based battles, player controls one human and two demons, allowing the player to select one action for each squad member, and the computer doing the same for its squad; combat is then resolved after this selection.

Players can get their “Extra Turn” or “Double Extra” in the battle if the player has attacked the enemy’s weaknesses or launched critical attacks, and when a leader’s health become zero, the battle ends. Also, the player can crack enemy skills. Once cracked, the player can assign these skills across all of their parties’ human characters. In addition to demon fusion, the player can acquire new demons, up to 24 in total, by attempting to win demon auctions using the Macca collected in battle.
