Our take
At $32.49, RAIDOU Remastered offers decent content for RPG enthusiasts, especially fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series. The Digital Deluxe Edition feels like a solid package, but the value can be questionable if you're not all in on the lore. If you appreciate Atlus' mix of action and storytelling, this one's worth considering.
This remaster embraces the original's charm, but it doesn't fully modernize its visuals, which can feel dated on the Switch 2. Combat is fluid and engaging, especially with the inclusion of Guest Demons, but the visuals could have been sharper. The loading times are relatively quick, allowing you to jump back into the action without too much downtime. However, performance dips occasionally during frantic encounters, making these moments feel clunky. While the expanded DLC adds more depth, it can feel like the base game isn't sufficient on its own. Overall, RAIDOU Remastered is a nostalgic trip for dedicated fans but may leave newcomers wanting more.
Pros
- Rich lore tied to the Shin Megami Tensei universe, which will appeal to series fans.
- Diverse DLC content enhances replayability; the Guest Demons Pack adds iconic characters.
- Smooth combat system that combines real-time action with strategic demon management.
Cons
- Visuals are underwhelming, lacking the polish seen in other Switch 2 titles.
- Some DLC feels essential but is locked behind a paywall, which can frustrate players.
- Occasional frame rate drops during intense battles, especially in handheld mode.
In RAIDOU, you traverse a hauntingly atmospheric Tokyo, battling demons and solving puzzles. The combat uses a real-time system, allowing for quick dodges and abilities while summoning allies to fight alongside you. The game features various modes, including challenging trials through the Kuzunoha Village Trainings, where you can earn experience and currency. Strategic demon management is key, as each demon brings unique skills to the fray.
On Switch 2
On the Switch 2, RAIDOU Remastered offers decent performance, but some technical hiccups are evident. Handheld mode feels a bit less stable during action sequences, while docked play runs smoother, making for a more enjoyable experience. Controls are responsive, though the occasional frame rate drop can impact engagement.
Who it's for
This game is for fans of Atlus and Shin Megami Tensei who appreciate deep lore and action-packed gameplay. If you're looking for cutting-edge graphics or polished mechanics, you might want to skip this one.
