About This Game

RAIDOU Remastered rebuilds Atlus's 2006 PlayStation 2 spin-off Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, a Shin Megami Tensei offshoot set in a fantastical 1930s Tokyo. Players take Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, an apprentice at the Narumi Detective Agency who moonlights as a Devil Summoner, working cases that lead from the city's streets into a demon-haunted Dark Realm. The loop alternates investigation and interrogation with real-time action combat, where more than 120 summonable demons serve as both battle allies and puzzle-solving tools.

The remaster updates visuals, voice acting, and the battle system, but preserves a structure that shows its age: encounters grow repetitive, and streamlined objective markers trade away much of the original's adventure-game puzzling. Critics rated it strong rather than essential, the PlayStation version best among them. It suits players drawn to Atlus's occult worlds and a detective story told through an RPG; anyone after pure sleuthing will find the combat and grind get in the way.
