JRPG wows fans by perfectly recreating the series that spawned Persona, and surprises its own dev by selling “over 8 times what I was expecting”
Too many people only know Shin Megami Tensei as the dungeon-crawler JRPG franchise that ultimately spawned the much more popular Persona series, but MegaTen is still an amazing, ongoing bunch of games in its own right, with 2021’s Shin Megami Tensei 5 being its crowning achievement for my money. But old-school MegaTen DRPGs still have their following, and a new game in the impossible-to-pin-down Touhou universe has now recreated this retro style so perfectly that fans are asking MegaTen owner Atlus to hire the dev.
