Despite not being overjoyed with the cast of the game, there’s little else to complain about with SMT IV. The gameplay
mechanics borrow enough from previous entries to feel familiar, but at the same time there’s enough new about the
mechanics to make them feel fresh.

 Like a bottle of fine scotch, SMT IV won't be for everyone - but those RPG enthusiasts who can appreciate its subtlety
and challenge will cherish it for years to come.

Shin Megami Tensei IV succeeds on the merits of its outstanding demon fusion system and combat, even if its story
and exploration are only fair.

The game may not transcend its genre, but it’s a great reminder of why so many us fell in love with role-playing games
in the first place.

The plot is full of holes, inconsistencies, and unbelievable character actions and reactions. There are some creative
moments late in the game where SMTIV presents the alignments and philosophies in a fascinating, new way, but for
the most part the plot, characters, and morals fail to come together as part of a coherent setting.
