Item Description

Tokyo ends in the first hour of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. An event called the Conception reshapes the city into the Vortex World, a hollow sphere of sand and ruins overrun by demons, and you wake up as the Demi-Fiend, a high-school student turned half human and half demon by a parasitic Magatama. What follows is one of the bleakest and most uncompromising RPGs ever released on a home console, and that is exactly why its reputation has only grown.

Nocturne is where Atlus introduced the Press Turn system that later games, including Digital Devil Saga, built on. Strike a weakness or land a critical and you earn extra actions; hit a resistance or miss and you burn turns away, and every enemy plays by the same rules. It makes battles fast, tactical and frequently brutal, and boss fights such as the infamous Matador have humbled players for two decades. Your party is made of demons you persuade to join you through negotiation, then fuse into stronger forms in the Cathedral of Shadows, passing skills down the line, while the Magatama the Demi-Fiend swallows determine his own growth.

As the world waits to be reborn, survivors of the old Tokyo, including the Demi-Fiend's former friends, champion rival philosophies called Reasons, each a blueprint for what the next world should be. Siding with one, rejecting them all or chasing something darker shapes the ending you reach. Kazuma Kaneko's demon designs and Shoji Meguro's guitar-heavy score give the Vortex World an atmosphere unlike any other RPG of its time, at once desolate and electric.

This North American release is based on the expanded Maniax edition, which added the Labyrinth of Amala, the optional Fiend boss battles, the True Demon Ending and a guest appearance by Dante from Devil May Cry. When Atlus remastered the game in 2020, Raidou Kuzunoha took Dante's place, so this PlayStation 2 original is the version where the Son of Sparda joins the apocalypse. That alone gives it a special place on any Shin Megami Tensei shelf.
