Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine (Review)



Another great Shin Megami Tensei game from Atlus, this time free!
Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine is a free MMORPG from Atlus. Originally, The servers were supported by Aeria Games, until Atlus brought it Marvelous. The gameplay in Imagine is nearly 
the same as in any other Megami Tensei game. You battle Demons, clear dungeons and befriend 
demons as well. The combat is where the game begins to stray away from the average MegaTen game.

The combat in Imagine is the same as in Mabinogi. Guard beats block. Smash beats block. Counter beats smash. While I do feel this is better in Mabinogi, this combat system works with this game, as you can send you demon to attack an enemy first, then when the enemy's guard or counter is down, you can go in for the attack. (Or vice versa.) You also can take direct control of you demon, even when your dead! So if you have a demon with a revival skill, yo can take control of it to get back to the battle! But the problem with this combat system is that in MegaTen, Atlus made it slow and clunky. Instead of the fast paced, fast-thinking combat in Mabinogi, It's "attack-attack-attack-guard-attack-attack-attack-counter" repetitive gameplay you would find in a WoW clone. But even with the clunkiness, I still find this game kinda fun.
