I really loved the scanner thing. It made you really feel these were paranormal demons just destroying people. They came in various sizes too based on who it is. If you have played SMT before and this was your first time with this one, it felt funny seeing a giant scanner target, and it's just throwing out 1 shotting phys skills. I was like 'Is that Oni? OH THAT DAMAGE, I THINK THAT MAY BE ONI." then you scan it and have that "AHA" moment. It made it scary and fun at the same time. Very sick unique system that also fits thematically.

Looking forward to your SMT4 video. And thanks for this one! I'm currently playing SMT4, but never played this game. And with all the stylistic overlap between the two, I appreciate your overview of what Strange Journey was all about.

One thing, actually this game is one of the ones where strength is rather optimal for survival. Yes, for beginners, having access to some magic and what not is nice, but they cost energy. In this grindy game, you can run out quickly and can put you in some compromised positions. Having access to strength firstly scales with the guns damage, and guns are your main form of self defense, shotguns in particular make things rather easy backed by a good deal of strength, smashing holes in the enemy line, for your demons to clean up with the specializations you've put them in. Acting as the basis of your teams plan works very well. Once you get the combat down and LEARN FUSING, I recommend have your demons cover the magic part, and summon them as necessary. Non-magic based combat allows you to hit majority of things hard without worrying about energy or what they're weak to. Beyond this, later on you get access to rings and melee weapons which when certain ones are in conjunction with each other, creates an auto-defensive set-up for you, by way of auto-countering any attackers very VERY hard, while pushing your own offense. On top of this, guns come with elemental bullets a lot of the time, using the correct gun for certain demons and using normal attacks for all that is left leaves you very well ready without burning all your magic and tools early. In the long dungeons this game has, as well as some of the terrifying bosses, being efficient with your resources through strength is very advantageous.

I still have nightmares about ouroboros and mem aleph. I didn't beat this game, it beat me, about to start my fourth playthrough on redux this time, send help.
@cybercop0083 Жыл бұрын
Redux‘ quality of life features will probably take off the edge. Strange Journey‘s bosses are all about the party. A fire casting party of same allignment demons will work wonders on Ouroboros, whereas you should keep your allignments diverse for mem aleph

The game gives you a demon with fireamp before fighting her use that and Ouro becomes a joke

Another awesome video on one of the more pACKED games in the franchise! This one used to be my biggest fave, no matter how many times the gameplay beats my ass. :') If I were to suggest something, I'd suggest turning your voice-over volume up and the music down? I love jamming to SMT tracks too but it gets a little hard to hear you over it at times. xD

A little tip. Do not use Magic on your MC if you want to do damage. All his attacks (Yes even elemental gun skills) scale of Strenght. Magic affects your defense against other magic skills and yoir max MP

It's funny how they went from the PSP to DS because of dual screens because they ported Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner to PSP and not DS...a game that already had DS in the name was ported to PSP.
