Raidou: Remastered – The Mystery of the Soulless Army Launch Edition - Nintendo Switch 2
Raidou Returns in Style — A Flawless Remaster Worth Owning Raidou: Remastered – The Mystery of the Soulless Army Launch Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. Atlus has done a fantastic job preserving the heart of this unique title while making it feel right at home on modern hardware. The Taisho-era Tokyo setting is still one of the most distinctive atmospheres in the entire Shin Megami Tensei universe. The mix of detective work, supernatural intrigue, and demon summoning feels just as fresh now as it did when the original game launched. Raidou Kuzunoha remains a compelling protagonist, and the story unfolds with great pacing and style. Gameplay holds up very well. The action combat is smooth, with better responsiveness thanks to improved controls. Summoning demons and using them in battle still adds depth, and the fusion system is as addictive as ever. The remaster updates menus and navigation just enough to improve the experience without changing what made the original special. Visuals have been sharpened while keeping the noir-meets-occult aesthetic intact. It runs flawlessly on Switch 2—quick load times, no crashes, and polished presentation across the board. The Launch Edition extras are the icing on the cake. Whether you're a longtime SMT fan or someone new to the Raidou series, this edition offers real value, not just nostalgia. This remaster reminds me why Raidou stood out in the first place—and now it's better than ever. 5 stars. A must-play for action RPG and Shin Megami Tensei fans alike. Read more
