Shin Megami Tensei V, the fifth numbered game of the Shin Megami Tensei series, is a role-playing video game set in modern-day Tokyo. It will feature returning gameplay elements from previous games, such as the ability to fuse demons, along with new mechanics.
About the story
The protagonist, a high school student living an ordinary life, wanders into another world called Da'at. He then fuses with a mysterious man and becomes a Nahobino, a forbidden being, throwing himself into a battle between gods and demons. The ambitions of god and human clash amidst the horror of a dying world. Neither human nor demon, the newly-forged Nahobino and his friends must decide what is worth saving... and prepare to sacrifice everything in its name. In a world without its Creator, which path will you choose?

Critic Reviews
Lords Of Gaming
By Joseph RepkoDespite a lot of missed opportunities, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is more than worth every penny. I highly recommend picking the game up, because no matter what difficulty you can take on, it will keep you busy for 100s of hundreds.
JRPG.moe
By JRPG.moeWhile Shin Megami Tensei V doesn’t run especially well on the Nintendo Switch, for now it’s an exclusive experience that any RPG-loving owner of the console should check out.

ByWhile I can say that I enjoyed my time with Shin Megami Tensei V, it was the exploration of ruined Tokyo that kept my attention. Once the last big map was filled in, the last treasures claimed, and the last little red dude returned to the item shop’s master, the game quickly lost its luster.
Geeks Under Grace
By Sam KimA destructively beautiful masterpiece, SMTV challenges the player through combat and narrative.
Gfinity
By Henry StockdaleIt won’t be to everyone’s tastes and combat’s trial-and-error nature might prove off-putting to some, but if you can look past that, you’ll find a highly engaging RPG worth exploring. As such, it comes strongly recommended.
