Games I Played in 2025 - Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse
Console: 3DS Developer: Atlus Release Date: September 20, 2016 Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is turn-based monster-taming RPG with a focus on recruiting and fusing demons, heavy character customisation, strategic gameplay, and a story with alignment choices. Developed by Atlus, Apocalypse is a follow-up to Shin Megami Tensei IV. IV is one of my favorite games ever after having a bit of a rocky relationship with it, so I was ecstatic to finally get to play its odd pseudo-sequel. The marketing for Apocalypse was always confusing to me; is it a sequel? An expansion? An unrelated game with the same mechanics? I think that's why a lot of people didn't really look at it much alongside being 3DS exclusive, along with Shin Megami Tensei not being a big household name compared to Persona . Nevertheless, just like IV , I wound up loving Apocalypse to bits.
