Though overshadowed by some monster March releases, SMT: Strange Journey remains on many radars and as with most Atlus-developed games promises to be rife with quality and depth the likes of which few companies can muster. It also promises the same demons we’ve seen in six or seven games now, spells named Bufu and Agi, and fantastic localization (Atlus’ team manages to translate Japanese humor better than most). Much of that can be seen in the trailer below, which I advise checking out if you haven’t looked into this game that much because it relays some important information, like the first person dungeon-crawling aspect reminiscent of past SMT games as well as some new rogue-likes like Etrian Odyssey and Dark Spire. However, unlike the latter titles this game is bound to have an engaging plot and some lovable characters. Fans also may note a few animations lifted directly from Devil Survivor, but you can hardly blame Atlus for that. In fact, you could praise such continuity! But don’t take my word for it. Check out the video and judge for yourself. Also keep on the lookout for my review, which should be up in the next week or so!
