Atlus welcomes new demon overlords with RPG/SRPG hybrid Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for Nintendo DS

Let’s give the invading demon horde full rein

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 6, 2009 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that Shin Megami Tensei®: Devil Survivor™ for Nintendo DS™, a new RPG/SRPG hybrid in the award-winning Shin Megami Tensei franchise, is coming to North America this summer. This may be the first Shin Megami Tensei epic to land on Nintendo DS, but no aspect of the experience-story, visuals, music, or gameplay-has been shrunk in the process. In fact, Devil Survivor invigorates the series with an unprecedented RPG/SRPG combat system and more character customization options than ever before, all wrapped within a compelling, branching narrative. For the first time in the series, players can use a new Demon Auction feature to collect and eventually fuse demons as they seek to create the most powerful party.
