Remember that fake metroidvania SMT trailer by Atlus last week? It's a real game.

Awesome that it's an actual thing. Jumping on this tomorrow.

Oh wow! I'm downloading this when I get home!

Oregano · Oct 16, 2017

Missed a prime opportunity for a troll title about Atlus releasing SMT on PC.

Opa-Pa · Oct 16, 2017

"Prologue" 👀👀

Man I'm excited, but why do they release this when I'm on a business trip... Oh well, hopefully it's good.

Looking forward to some impressions.

zulux21 · Oct 16, 2017

I'll likely give this a look if someone confirms it doesn't require that much japanese knowledge to get through.

if it does, I suppose I will mostly hope someone manages to make an english patch for it.

ATLUS released a videogame on PC 👀

You play as a monster then? It looks like everything you do there is magic.

dadjumper · Oct 16, 2017

Fuuuuuck yeah, I was pretty bummed when they said this was fake! Gonna download now. Hope there's controller support!

texhnolyze · Oct 16, 2017

So, they release the promotional material of a game that's not coming to PC, on PC.

There's so much wrong in the heads of Atlus folks.

BlackJace · Oct 16, 2017

Oh, wow, it's actually real.

One step closer to Persona on PC.

robotrock · Oct 16, 2017

atlus embracing the PC

Sophia · Oct 16, 2017

This is like some weird hybrid of the Metroid-style Castlevania games and Mega Man. Woah.

i-Jest · Oct 16, 2017

I'll download this latter. Thanks Atlus!

Or legit go "new SMT from Atlus EXCLUSIVE TO PC!"

But damn am I glad that this is a real thing and not just a mock up. Hopefully we get at least an English translation for the International release. But even if not we should have someone do a fan translation and hopefully not get C&D'd for it.

it's just a simple promo game. extensive Japanese knowledge isn't needed to know the controls

clay_ghost · Oct 16, 2017

Expecting 3DS. Will download when I get home.

Sgt. Kabukiman · Oct 16, 2017

Oh that's cool. Downloading right now.

Your face is a SYNCHRONICITY PROLOGUE.

Success · Oct 16, 2017

Interesting, I wonder why it is not on the official site.

Jb · Oct 16, 2017

The music is pretty dope. It's a remix of the Strange Journey OST if I'm not mistaken.

Oh shit, gotta download this asap then.

cireza · Oct 16, 2017

This looks pretty good. Strange they didn't even journey in the land of paid games for this one.

PROLOGUE suggests demo tho...

Sophia · Oct 16, 2017

Just finished

the first boss battle and am now in Stage 2. Also know the entrance to Stage 4, but I haven't gone in there yet. I have Jack Frost and Jack Lantern.

I really like this game a lot. It's like a hybrid of Metroid/Castlevania games mixed in with a Mega Man style shooting with a strength/weakness system.

PhantomThief · Oct 16, 2017

Yesssssss

Yes indeed.

Heartskips · Oct 16, 2017

The remixed Strange Journey is so good. And I'm stupid and don't know how to save.

Died after finding a teleport room with Pyro Jack.

FataIChoice · Oct 16, 2017

Oh man! Can you play as other Jacks? I know the video showed a Demonee-ho item or something, is he playable?

There are multiple playable characters, and you can switch between them at any time. It's necessary too, as some enemies nullify certain attacks of one element. You can also nullify elemental attacks of your own by using the right character.

I suspect there's probably five characters in total, given that's how many elements there are in the game.

Well, then, hopefully the full game is translated!

Candescence · Oct 16, 2017

Krobon Station (Pharaoh Rebirth+) has been getting quite a bit of work lately, huh? First the Konosuba S2 tie-in platformer, now this.

I'll download and play this later, hopefully when there's a translation.

Jb · Oct 16, 2017

The stage 4 track is so good.

wrowa · Oct 16, 2017

duckroll said:

Does it really? Isn't it just called Prologue because it's part of Strange Journey's marketing campaign, so it being the prologue to Strange Journey of sorts?

MudoSkills · Oct 16, 2017

Told you it was real. Definitely grabbing this later.

elixia · Oct 16, 2017

remember what happened before bayonetta was announced for pc?

Zaru · Oct 16, 2017

Hee ho Hee hold the fuck up
How is this a thing?

Sophia · Oct 16, 2017

Spoilers for

Stage 2

, but I love the gameplay variety in this.

Oh how i would love to believe this. Not overly impressed with the persona games but have always loved the SMT games.

Yeah, the retro Bayonetta game was released on Steam, in English. I really want SMT to come to PC, but PC versions of Atlus titles would be targeted at the international market primarily, while this game appears to have been developed as a part of SJ's Japanese promotional campaign.

marmoka · Oct 16, 2017

OMG OMG OMG!!!

Is it available in English?????

Fuck, I have no internet at home. I cannot download it and play it yet!!

Edit: could download it at work. I thought it was for Steam at the beginning but no need.
