What the actual fuck.
I wanted to star playing a Shin Megami Tensei game because I was told it was edgy Pokemon.
So I went with this one because it was newer and started the game on standard difficulty. The first boss was legitimately the first time where I had to backtrack in a game, so I went back and got completely different demons with frost spells and same name color so they can do those combos.
I just got to Delphinus and I'm still getting ass raped by random encounters, anyway I'm thinking of dropping this shit, are the other SMT games easier?
What the actual fuck
There are easier ones, SMT Apocalypse for example, but you could just lower the difficulty or learn how to play instead.
If you're getting beaten up, change your party around like you did for the boss.
You're fusing, right user?
Yeah, lol.
Alright I think I'll just lower the difficulty.
Play slower. It's not one of the hardest, and it's got pretty much up-to-date mechanics, unlike Soul Hackers, which will fuck you over if you're not careful with macca. Play 4 or 3 first maybe?
This game is pretty rough at the start but I pretty much steamrolled past the 2nd area. Just constantly fuse demons you should always be checking fusions every time your character levels. Recruit every new demon you find and try to fuse them. Have the entire gamut of elemental spells for you can always exploit weakness. Make sure all your main demons match your alignment it makes bosses infinitely easier. Once you get the hang of it you'll really only have trouble with womb of grief content
Your first SMT will usually be your hardest. SJ isn't hard at all when you get used to it. There're like 2 hard bosses, one being Sector E's and the second being the final boss though I haven't played Redux.
Buff, debuff, fuse, get new equipment regularly, get doppelganger and you should be alright.
The game's paced around you looking through every single dot in the map and exploring. If you're not filling the maps all you can, you're gonna get shit.
>Redux
>standard difficulty
You know that's literally easy mode compared to the original DS game, right?
Is it? I was thinking of playing Redux because I lost my cartridge. What are the new things?
