A world to discover, a mystery to uncover: the life of a samurai is full of perils. Players must leave the safety of the kingdom to defend it from the invading demons.
Here, the story unfolds as they become involved in a fierce battle against God and the demons.

The Shin Megami Tensei RPG series began in Japan in 1992 on Super Famicom. Neither this game nor its sequel were released in North America. In 2004, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne was the first SMT game in North America, although 'III' was removed from the PlayStation 2 title.
The SMT series has since spawned several sub-series, including Persona, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga, and the standalone Strange Journey. This new RPG is considered the fourth in the main Shin Megami Tensei series.
