Shin Megami Tensei comes to iOS

The first game in the Shin Megami Tensei series has been released on the iOS App Store.
Originally released in October 1992, Shin Megami Tensei was a SNES RPG that was never officially sold outside of Japan.


This iOS version, therefore, marks the first time the game has ever been officially translated and sold in the western world.
To celebrate its launch, publisher Atlus is offering the game at a reduced price for a limited time, making it available for £3.99 / €5.49 / $5.99 until March 31, at which point the price will be increased.
The original Shin Megami Tensei is set in the year 199X and begins with a horde of demons coming to Earth. The Japanese leader decides to use these demons as a military weapon, causing America to retaliate.
The player, who is nameless, has the ability to speak to demons and recruit them to battle for him. The choice, then, is whether to create an army of demons and take over the world, or an army of angels to stop them.
The series continues to grow in popularity 22 years after the first game's release, with over 30 titles and spin-offs based on the Megami Tensei universe.
These include the Persona and Devil Summoner series, which have been particularly popular in the west.
Last year Nintendo announced Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, a crossover game coming to 3DS as the result of a collaboration between Atlus and Intelligent Systems.
