Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance PS5 Game

The definitive version of Shin Megami Tensei V and its first release on PlayStation. It contains two complete story paths: the original Canon of Creation, and the new Canon of Vengeance built around the Qadistu, Lilith, Naamah, Eisheth and Agrat, who are pursuing an agenda outside the order versus chaos war.

Setting

After stumbling into a murder scene on the walk home, the protagonist wakes in Da'at, a post apocalyptic version of Tokyo, and fuses with a savior to become a Nahobino, neither human nor demon.

Press Turn combat

Hit a weakness or land a critical and you earn an extra turn icon. Miss, or hit an immunity, and you burn turns instead. Magatsuhi Skills fire when the gauge fills and apply a party wide effect for a round, such as guaranteed criticals or a full heal.

Demons

Recruit by negotiation, then use Demon Fusion to combine two to four demons into something stronger, or Essence Fusion to transplant skills and affinities. Miracles are permanent purchasable upgrades like cheaper fusions and extra skill slots. Demon Haunt lets you talk to party demons for stat boosts and side quests.
