Speaking of dungeons, they’re mostly straightforward, and a few of them do blend together. From there you can choose if you want to start going on sidequests - usually in areas you’ve already been, with a heavy focus on returning to explored dungeons - or keep going with the story. All of that slowly opens up as you explore more of the city, which fits the crescendoing nature of the narrative that you’re discovering with Ringo and her crew. There’s bars, shops, quest-givers, demon fusion stops, all the stuff you’ve come to expect from an Atlus RPG. The neon-adorned city is another character too (which can be viewed in a performance-based 60 FPS or 4K visual toggle). Although there are moments of stoic heroism, things can get goofy and relaxed, all backed by lovely (dual audio) voice acting. It helps that in true SMT fashion, the cast doesn’t take itself too seriously. The vibe is still very much occult (with demons galore) and cyberpunk, but there’s also an air of mystery and espionage to the day-to-day critical path events. You slowly learn the details of Aion’s aims and the real world alongside your buddies including the wrinkle of needing to locate covenants (powers that, when gathered, can cause destruction). Soul Hackers 2 takes a bit to get going in earnest, but until then, you’re quickly united with new summoners that become core party members. Again, all of this is easy to follow, conveyed naturally through dialogue, and there’s even reminder story text on loading screens (as well as chat logs in case you accidentally skipped a cutscene or forgot what just happened). The kicker is that doing this too often can mess with the fabric of reality. Using a demi-god-like ability called a “soul hack,” you can save a portion of someone’s soul, and cheat death. Aion has determined that it needs two key people to survive to prevent an impending cataclysmic event, which is where you come in.

Soul Hackers 2 ( PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X)ĭespite going with a setup that could be considered confusing in some other works, Soul Hackers 2 is surprisingly frank and forthcoming with its narrative conceit.Īs an organic avatar named Ringo, your job is to save humanity at the whim of Aion, an AI. It’s a good thing Devil Summoner doesn’t miss.
Although the cadence has been off and on for various subseries, Atlus managed to muster up Soul Hackers 2, which is a follow-up to the 1997 original - and the first Devil Summoner game in roughly 14 years. I’m a simple man: I see a Shin Megami Tensei game, and I’m interested in it.
