Atlus USA unveiled a few days ago their new action RPG title Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Outdoing its forerunner in every way conceivable, Devil Summoner 2 combines an easy-to-control combat system with hoards of demons to interact with. The game gives the player a chance to solve cases, catch criminals and face the mysterious King Abaddon, all in 1920’s Tokyo.
Only a very small fixed number of units of Japan’s very popular Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon will be sold in North America. Each Devil Summoner 2 package will come with a rare collectible Raiho plushie doll, which is not available for sale separately and each package will be serial numbered to retain rarity, authenticity and collectible value.
Eager gamers can expect a variety of changes in Devil Summoner 2, in the form of a largely updated battle system and a greater level of interaction with demons. The battle system boasts of the power to command 2 demons in battle, a MAG balancing system and even dodge and hide capabilities. Also players can create new swords capable of individual special attacks. Players can take advantage of skill transfer and fusion to make demons more powerful than ever before.
Over 500 rich character choices, 3 alignments, 2 genders, 10 races and 15 majors, coupled with the beautiful music of Shoji Meguro, make this game one to look out for. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon makes its way to retailers on May 12, 2009 for the PS2. It is estimated to be priced at about USD 39.99 (approx. Rs. 1955).
