Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is a Nintendo 3DS role-playing game developed and published by Atlus. It is a remake of the Japanese-exclusive Sega Saturn/PlayStation version of the game. It is a cyberpunk spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series.

Gameplay[]

The game is a dungeon crawler role-playing game with a first-person view. The player can have up to two human characters and can summon up to 4 demons to have a party of up to 6. In battle, the player has to manage a demon's alignment and personality in combination with their abilities. The skills are similar to the rest of the series but, demons can refuse the player's orders if the skill does not align with their personality. The player can reduce the chance of this by raising the demon's loyalty. The player also needs to manage their supply of magnetite as once they run out, allied demons will start to take damage.

3DS eShop Description[]

Never before released in North America, this long-awaited entry in the acclaimed Devil Summoner series takes players into a future in which technology and other worldly forces meet in a macabre fusion of cyberpunk futurism and gothic horror.

A first-person sci-fi RPG epic, Soul Hackers tells of a city held up as a beacon of humanity's triumph of technology, but with an infernal secret. In this would-be utopia, a group of hackers takes on a centuries-old mystic society, and a battle for control over humanity's fate is about to begin...

In a society originated from a bizarre marriage of technology and demonology, an unleashed evil-borne of an inconvenient truth-threatens to bring an end not just to the deceptive harmony, but to mankind itself.

Improved graphics marry with extensive voice acting, a host of technical enhancements, and a 3D dungeon exploration to make Soul Hackers a natural fit to the Nintendo 3DS.
