You can literally wipe the floor with any boss that comes your way. Plus, after obtaining certain skills in the game, it turns into a breeze. Sure, it’s a difficult game, but all it takes is to get the hang of the gameplay mechanics. Nocturne is often labelled as ” The Darksouls of JRPGs”, but personally, that’s an exaggerated statement. Plot-wise, anyone is bound to die at any moment, especially you. In here, there are just darkness and metal soundtracks to bang your head to. There are no social links, happy music to jam to, good endings, and all that sort of thing. Shin Megami Tensei is nothing like Persona.
Of course, when it was first released, Persona fans thought that the game will be reminiscent of the latter, but boy they were in for a great surprise. Almost two decades after its initial release, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne finally marched into Steam back in 2021.
