Atlus Bringing Devil Survivor RPG to Nintendo DS

Atlus Bringing Devil Survivor RPG to Nintendo DS on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Following an early magazine teaser, Atlus has now confirmed that it will be bringing a new RPG to the Nintendo DS early next year in Japan (15th January, 2009 to be exact). The game is called Megami Ibunroku: Devil Survivor and will be directed by Shinjirou Takada, whose previous credits include both the popular Langrisser and Growlanser series, with monsters designs handled by Kazuma Kaneko. Devil Survivor is set to be a Strategy RPG, but rather than looking like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics, it appears to have more of an edgy 'The World Ends with You' appearance, and even has a similar 7-day limit aspect to the gameplay.

The original magazine teaser

The teaser page itself can be seen above, whilst new scans from Famitsu magazine show off screens of the game in action, all of which can be seen below. The game is currently at the 90% completion mark and focuses on a group of school children who are tasked with preventing the annihilation of Tokyo, which is set to happen seven days from the start of the game. Along the way, players will have the ability to summon monsters to aid their plight simply by using a special in-game mobile application.


The official website is due to open on 10th November and it will have the first video of the game in action.

Looking good so far.

I've added the first batch of official screenshots, including some art as well from Famitsu. Looks really impressive!
