Raidou Reborn: Atlus’ Latest Detective RPG Offers More Than Just a Remaster

Sure thing! Get ready to dive deep into a mystery from way back when in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, now kicking it off on Xbox Series X|S. Who would’ve thought the Taisho era could hold such secrets?

Alright, so here’s the deal. This is the first time Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army is gracing modern consoles. Imagine mashing up detective dramas and action-packed gameplay — like you’re in a Shin Megami Tensei universe but with punches and spells flying every which way. Whether you’re a veteran or a newbie, it’s like finding that mysterious book in an old library that hooks you right away.

Now, sure, they call this a remaster, but it’s like the game hit the gym and came out with a glow-up. We’re talking revamped battles, snazzier graphics, and full-blown voice acting that pulls you deeper into the story. And if that sounds like the usual sell, I gotta say, there’s a certain zing to it.

### Battle Hustle

So, get this, Devil Summoner wasn’t your everyday RPG. Nope, this one was fast, and let’s just say you had to keep your wits about you. Raidou Remastered ups the ante, borrowing a bit from its sequel, King Abaddon. Mix in some fresh moves and voilà! You’ve got yourself a battle system that’s spruced up like a freshly painted vintage car — well, if vintage cars could swing swords and cast spells, that is.

Oh, and talk about character progression. You’ve got Summoner Skills — and these aren’t just for show. Equip ‘em right, and your detective prowess skyrockets. Fancy a tactical edge? Experiment with combos, because, why not? It’s like swapping secret recipes but with weapons and demons.

The battlefield’s not just a flat piece of ground anymore. Nope, it’s a 3D space now! Jump, duck, dodge — you’re in the thick of it. And those demons you summon? They’re not just there to look pretty. Think of them as your cosmic sidekicks, helping out while you do your detective thing. Plus, if you’re overqualified to squash those pesky demons, the game spares you the hassle and wipes them out automatically. Handy, right?

### Visual Feast & Voice

Say you’ve seen Raidou back in the day. You’d notice the character models and the world around have been given a coat of magic. It’s refreshed but keeps that vintage charm – more like taking an old film reel and giving it a sharp, colorful twist.

But here’s the kicker — voice acting! It’s not just there; it breathes life into the whole affair. Imagine hearing the drama unfold, whether you’re tuning into the English or Japanese cast — both pack a punch. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself recognizing a few voices. A bit like hearing a familiar song in a new place.

### And, There’s More!

We’re still scratching the surface with Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. They’ve got this enhanced save game system — the kind where losing your progress is less of a nail-biter. Multiple save slots, autosave, quick save – it’s like someone finally listened. And if challenges are your jam, they threw in five difficulty levels. “Detective Legend” anyone? Only the brave need apply.

I could go on, but spoilers are just not my thing. Best way to discover it all? Grab a controller, dive in, and let the adventure unravel before your eyes.
