Atlus Releases Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue for Free

Shin Megami Tensei is an undying franchise. Almost everything associated with the series is pure gaming gold, including the spin-offs. Especially the spin-offs. While these titles tend to be RPGs, some try to break the mold, including the latest spin-off game, Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue. And I thought Square Enix had some weird titles for its Kingdom Hearts franchise.

I would not blame you if you haven’t heard about Synchronicity Prologue; it was part of a Japanese trailer for the upcoming game Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey (Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux in America) — which is remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey — and was supposed to be nothing more than a joke. But Synchronicity Prologue is real, free, and available for download right now.

Synchronicity Prologue stars the two mascots of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise: the brothers Jack Frost and Pyro Jack. The game is a 2D pixelated Metroidvania title that requires players to use the powers of the Jack brothers to fight and platform through dangerous levels, all while collecting new abilities and leveling up to fight ever-tougher enemies. While part of Synchronicity Prologue uses English, the majority of the game is in Japanese, so gamers who want to know what’s going on will be out of luck until the game is released with an English localization. Or until a fan creates a mod that translates all the Japanese into English.

According to the announcement page, Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue “has no direct connection with [Deep Strange Journey].” However, the page also states that Synchronicity Prologue may or may not be indirectly connected with Deep Strange Journey. Maybe the events in one game influence the events in the other? Gamers will just have to wait until the game is released.

Shin Megami Tensei fans are definitely going to enjoy Synchronicity Prologue, as are Metroidvania fans. However, gamers only have until December 24th to download the game.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
