Demons! Demons! And More Demons!

Digital Devil Saga (known in Japan as Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner) is a two-part video game series distributed by Atlus. It's a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series, which is known for its use of world mythology, unique demon panthenons, and innovative futuristic settings. I can't recommend the franchise highly enough.

The first game places you in the Junkyard, a harsh cyberpunk world where people are compelled to take part in violent urban warfare. Each warrior is a member of a "Tribe"; in turn, each Tribe hopes to conquer the others and obtain the right to enter the paradise known as Nirvana.

You play as Serph, the leader of the Embryon Tribe. It's a routine day of maiming and killing in the neighborhood, when a mysterious visitor arrives in the Junkyard...along with a gruesome new power.

The game's sequel, Digital Devil Saga 2, pits you against the "real world", a post-apocalyptic wasteland shielded from a dome-dwelling populace. It's a high stakes game, and the fate of humanity rests on your party's narrow shoulders. Secrets and past betrayals are revealed, and new allies come to your aid -- while old friends choose new paths.

And that's all I'm going to say, both because I'm lazy and because I'm hoping you're intrigued enough to go play the games on your own now! They're worth it! Backwards | Main page | Windy-Days.net
