The turn-based combat system in Soul Hackers 2 Classic turn-based combat and demon fusionsĪs for the gameplay, Figue, one of the heroines in the game, becomes a commander overseeing the journey, while Ringo and the other four Demon Summoners gather and carry demons and explore the labyrinths together. These ingenious designs allow players to feel the mastery of details and design power of the developer Atlus. Demon Summoners enjoy food in the Safe House, and they have their own preferences for different food, which are expressed by small smiley faces. Vending machines and convenience stores on neon streets sell surprisingly tasty treats like soda and pizza. For example, in the abandoned subway, a piece of the track is fragmented, showing players the delicate level of the design.

Meanwhile, the underground mazes are comprehensive and full of details. all have strong colors, and players who roam freely in such an environment forget the time on their adventure to save the human world. The street views of shops, the bar, the circus, etc. The game has a powerful visual impact namely, the strong artistic experience created by the neon Japanese street views, and no detail looks out of line. The play time of Persona 5 is about 100 hours, while the basic play time to complete Soul Hackers 2’s main plotline is about 40 hours, much shorter. However, compared with Persona 5, the degree to which players can explore the maps in Soul Hackers 2 is more limited. Mara is a Buddhist demon that showed up in both Persona 5 and Soul Hackers 2
Also known as ‘The Evil One,’ he sent his daughters to tempt Buddha during his meditations." He is "a Buddhist demon that represents the fear of death. According to his intro, Mara has a fun origin. In addition, one of the demons in Soul Hackers 2, Mara, who is aggressive and looks like a giant penis, also appeared in Persona 5. Ringo and Saizo wear black bird-like masks that have appeared in Persona 5 For example, Joker, one of the protagonists in Persona 5, has a black bird-like mask that is almost identical to the masks worn by Ringo and others in Soul Hackers 2. The villain Iron Mask and four Demon Summoners, Saizo, Ringo, Milady and ArrowĪt the same time, the relationship between humans, technology, and the Capitalist society, as a more profound theme, is woven into the plot.Īlthough the story is relatively independent, the characters of Soul Hackers 2 have a lot of "collaborations" with the Persona series.
These characters become Demon Summoners and set off to face adventure, challenging mystery to unveil the villainous Phantom Society. To change the fate of a world that is collapsing, they use the supernatural ability of "soul hacking" to revive the other three protagonists, Arrow, Milady, and Saizo. In the near-future world of the mid-21st century, the beyond-human intelligence Aion has been split into two agents: Ringo and Figue. “Collab” with the Persona seriesĬompared with the previous games, Soul Hackers 2 has a relatively independent and rich worldview. But as far as I see it, its powerful art and classic demon fusion gameplay, as well as the combination of the two, are still worthy of note. In previous titles, the style of the game art was mostly dark and gloomy, but Soul Hackers 2 seems to consciously apply bright, cyber, neon, and similar art styles, which becomes one of the most powerful features and creates a more exciting experience in this high-res version.īesides the art style, due to the mediocrity of its turn-based combat system, this title is considered by some players as an average entry-level work for JRPGs. The game graphics in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and its sequel Soul Hackers 2 The new game came to Steam on August 26th and debuted one day earlier for the console versions. Soul Hackers 2 is the latest spin-off of the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series, as well as the sequel to Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, which was released 25 years ago. It’s a beautiful and delightful adventure with brave Demon Summoners and stylish demons to decrypt destiny and save the human world. After playing the JRPG Soul Hackers 2 for almost 16 hours, I am still immersed in the supernatural, neon world built by game developer Atlus.
