Started playing Pic related, it's so damn good. The atmosphere,

Soul Hackers (and Devil Summoner 1) plays pretty much like the original Shin Megami Tensei.

SMT 1 and 2
Soul hackers is like a more modern version of those

Everything in that game is cool and aesthetics. Even the things people say are "cheesy" like the gun and the hacking sequences. Even the way they deliver the scenes showing lives of dead people is so nice. Holy fuck. Nice squad as well. It really is perfect. I can only hope Deep Strange Journey is also as cool. Got my Soul Hackers physical for $20. It is worth much more

Sounds good. Devil Summoner 1 is not translated, right?

>>376908602
First time diving into Paradigm X was nice, still remember spending hours visiting each venue and talking to NPCs.

Did you get the edition that came with the arranged OST CD?
>>376908901
Right, DS1 is still untranslated.

There is also a Soul Hackers sequel only released in Japan and for mobiles, but it seems it's shit and fans pretends it doesn't exist.

>>376909726
Shame, hopefully it will get translated in the future.
>There is also a Soul Hackers sequel only released in Japan and for mobiles
For what purpose would you do this..

>>376909726
Nah. I only got the normal one. I'd kill for that OST tho

the music in this game was amazing

had this nice cyber vibe without being a straight 1980s retro synthwave rip off

To milk the popularity it has in Japan.
It doesn't seem like a bad game, but it looks like a regular mobile game with slight SMT battle mechanics

It's more like a board game.
At least the sprites look cool (look at that Angel's ass).

>>376909726
i got that shit
such a good buy

This is going to sound fucking stupid but how exactly can you cut down on the Magnetite drain? I feel like I can't really explore/take on the dungeons in this game without dropping down to 0 MAG. Is there some kind of trick to it or do I need to manage my demons better?

other than that I'm having a blast

>>376912174
Use less or cheaper demons. For random encounters you don't really need to run around with a full party, you can do a lot of areas with just Nemissa and Zeed

>>376912174
your mag drains by walking?
i dont think that should be happening

>>376912174
You, nemissa and zeed are more then enough to do standard dungeon crawling and that wont use any MAG allowing you to farm each encounter for demons MAG and item

>>376912401
Every step in a dungeon with demons out drains mag according to their CP

>>376912174
don't use demons, they don't level up anyway so only bother using them for bosses

There will never be enough nemissa porn

Strange Journey is just as great but doesn't have as much NPC dialogue and flavor stuff.

>>376912550
wtf?
ive put 40 hours into this game and i never knew that

>>376912590
her voice and hitomis voice were amazing
i dont know how but all the voices in the game have this old feel to them i love it

>>376911146
>>376909726
Is there any download link for that arranged OST? I am in dire need of this.

>>376907965
glad to see other people appreciate this game.

Such a good cyberpunk adventure, good music too.

>>376912939
did you change the difficulty?

On easy the mag doesn't drain when you walk.

>>376913714
no i just checked, it does drain when i move
i cant believe i never noticed it before

>>376913010
Disagree. I turned the voices off 5 minutes in. Fucking awful.

>>376912174
Stop walking around with demons summoned besides Zeed. You won't need them most of the time to clear dungeons.

This game is my favorite dunfeon crawler. The aesthetics, the character/monster designs, having to manage resources just to have your team out, asshole dolphins, Nemissa, everything.

>>376915081
any other smt you can recommend?

>>376915749
im not that anon, but i can recommend the etrian odyssey series
its not completely similar to soul hackers but it is a dungeon crawler with the map type stuff and its made by atlus

>>376915081
Yeah. The designs and everything, even the shopkeepers and places (bay area, grocery, constellation, etc ) are all very cool. I like other SMTs too, but this had more style than some.

>>376915749

The only other SMT I've played is 4 and 4 Final honestly

Final was bretty gud but not really that much like Soul Hackers

>>376917057
he a faggot

>>376916871
That was a good gimmick boss though. It's not his fault you never learned to read.

>oh look a dolphin, this'll be easy
>do little to negative damage
>run out of mp and die
>the trick was to let it absorb too much magic and die, because some kid on some tile thinks dolphins are liars
Anyone who says they figured that out on their own is the kind of person who told other kids their uncle worked for Nintendo and had a Pikablu on their other Game Boy.

>>376918134
They made his gimmick as obvious as you can without straight up telling you how it works tbqh.
Even if you didn't figure it out you can still just kill him normally with physical and almighty damage though.

>>376915081
This, Soul Hackers is seriously underrated. It's probably my favourite SMT spin off.

>>376913843
That was in all the games until Nocturne.

I feel like I'm missing a trick with Zeed.

How do I make a good one?

>>376907965
I dont know how to build my characters in that game. Should I make my MC go full physical and the heroine all magic?

>>376920476
MC magic and Nemissa Dex

>>376920476
MC usually needs to have a shitload of Ag to use items and whatnot. You need Int and Mag up to at least 8 to wear the best armor in-game. Nemissa should never do anything but Magic and stay in back row.

Posting favorite SH song.

The rearrange version sounds like ass.

https://youtu.be/QKMRad3df4A

When I was a wee pleb, I dropped this game after 5 hours. But that was like 2013 and I've played and beaten multiple SMTs since then, maybe I'll pick it back up.

>>376920743

I wasn't too bothered by P3's OST. That rearrange sounds like some real amateur garbo though. Like they just picked some random black dude off the street and told him to throw words to the beat. Not that I really know if it gets better, I can't make it past the first 10 seconds of the song.

>UH UH UH, NOW HERE'S MAH STORY

annd fucking dropped.

>>376918134

Are you ESL?

>>376920367

Work

I want a new game with a fast as fuck combat system/menu/etc as it

A positive SH thread full of newcomers enjoying it?
I must be in bizarro land.

Not that I mind, it's my favorite classic megaten.
