Pretty easily overlooked since this is the least popular of the multi-game titles in the SMT umbrella.
Not on my watch!
The original Devil Summoner was released on December 25, 1995 for Saturn, and the PSP version was released ten years later, on December 20, 2005.
Devil Summoner is kind of like the core series. A sole devil summoner along with his army of demons take on evil summoners to save the day.
The only real difference is that Devil Summoner stories tend to be more intimate. The entire world is seldom at stake(or destroyed), but the protagonist's livelihood, friends, and city often are.
In Devil Summoner 1, Kyouji Kuzunoha must stop the insane bible-wielding priest Sid Davis from resurrecting a Japanese goddess, and maybe recover his stolen life in the process.
In Soul Hackers, the Spookies have to stop the Phantom Society and their puppet corporation, Algon Software, from conquering Japan and harvesting souls for their crazed purposes.
Then last and definitely not least, Raidou Kuzunoha has to save the Taisho 20 era of Japan from crazy robots, an undead Russian summoner, and Lucifer himself.
Which is your favorite devil summoner title and why? Go fire up your COMP and beat up some dark summoners.
Comrade.
