Demonic Pokemon for Adults!
Massive JRPG with recruitment system for demons, Fusions to create more powerful demons, fast fights, dark story, beautiful stylized graphics and a deep intelligent battle system that forces you to really learn the weaknesses of every demon you face. This was the first in the main series to release in The west. Third entry in the series. Any fan of the Persona series that is interested in the main series it originated from should start here. This is where the Press Turn system ws introduced. This has the negotiations the series is known for and 185 demons to recruit. A compendium you can register or buy demons from for the fusions you do. This game is honestly one of the best in the series. Highly recommended. Multiple endings and a very high replay value with a 50+ hour first play through. Give this game a try if you can!Read full review

A mature and challenging RPG!
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is indeed a great game to play and it still holds up very well after 10 years. The devs have made a great choice of making the graphic have a stylized anime look to it, especially a more mature art style as opposed to going for realism. It made the game feel alive and still keep its mature atmosphere. I also do love its color scheme as I am so glad it did not go for gritty desaturated color schemes and instead went for more hues and shades of colors to convey the mood of the game. It does present some very creepy and liminal atmosphere, fitting for apocalypse Tokyo!
The gameplay is also very solid, especially for any turn-based RPG fans! One of the best feature coming from this is how you can gain an extra turn when you exploit an enemy's weakness or get critical hit. Although, to make things slightly more fair, enemies can gain extra turns too if they exploit your weakness. This game is pretty challenging too so it's definitely not recommended for any inexperienced RPG fans, or any inexperienced gamers in general. Its difficulty is what defined Shin Megami Tensei after all!
Just...don't go for the hard mode as it'll just make you die a lot.
Definitely a Shin Megami Tensei game worth playing!Read full review

A must-have for RPG fans
Though it's a bit more primitive than more recent titles in the SMT series like Persona 4, the gameplay is as addictive as ever. The minimal voice acting lends to the creepy, barren atomsphere. The stylized graphics allow the game's visuals to still look nice today. This is a modern classic, folks. If you like RPGs, the occult, or even Pokemon, you're in for a good time.Read full review

What does life mean to you?
That's really what Nocturne sets out to ask you through the game. It has fantastic and excellent gameplay and narrative. It's been a huge blast to blaze through or slowly nibble at it. Either pace works for this 50+ hour RPGRead full review

Tough RPG with Engaging Gameplay
Great game, amazing graphics for the time. Demon recruiting is a lot more difficult than in other titles. Other than that, great gameplay. Don't expect press turns, though.

Great game for JRPG fans.
Just started playing the SMT series with Strange Journey and Persona 1. Great story and engaging battle system. Trying to get ready for SMT5 coming out next year.
