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
It’s a nice entry SMT title that ported from PS2. The price of PS2 is (very) steep to get one, I decided to pick this one up on my Switch 2. It’s not an easy game btw, yet very nice combat field in the action rpg style (you can acquire many demons for the allies) depending on tubes that Raidou carry. The more loyalty that u have, the more tubes, the more demons that can be acquired. It has some detective style in it. Read more
Great for my Switch collection and an excellent retro JRPG. Read more
Highly underrated game, just as enjoyable as any other Atlus titles. hopefully I get a follow up sequel remake and a whole new entry while they at it! Read more
I have played every Persona game, on the OG PlayStation and the other Persona games on the PS2. My fav being Persona 3 FES. However I never tried the Raidou games which is odd because he appears in Shin Tensi Megami III. It's a solid game but I prefer straight up turn based games but this one is a hybrid turn based RPG. When yo go into battle you are on a square that you can move around and fire at your opponent and summon demons. My issue is i'm thinking Persona TBS and this one is different. The reason I give this 4 Stars is because it's not really 4K visuals whereas the PS5 and XBOX versions are. After I ordered it I read the game on the Switch 2 is 1080P even in Docked Mode. That said, the graphics look really good and it plays very smooth. Read more
This is an awesome remake/remaster. Really been enjoying myself in this one. If you have ever thought: "I want to do SMT/Persona style combat-strategy but with the pressure of real time and I enjoy challenging myself" this game is for you! The story is very cool too, it's nice to have a different setting for one of their titles. Read more
