How to Play Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei
Quick start
When allocating abilities, do not reduce Nakajima's combat power and Yumiko's intelligence too much, and secure equipment costs and levels by defeating weak enemies around Mikon town. When you meet an enemy, select "Tell" from Nakajima's COMP, and increase the number of demons by watching the enemy's reaction even if they ask for magic coins or jewels. Replace the front row with a demon with high HP, and once Yumiko learns the mapper, record the walls and stairs on graph paper. Be sure to obtain the password from the elder before the interruption.
Controls
Cross button up: Forward. Left/Right/Down: Turn in that direction. A: Cursor display, command determination, ability point addition, message sending. B: Cancel, return ability points. During AUTO combat, you can interrupt automatic attacks by holding down B. For the title, use the cross button to select START/PASSWORD/CONTINUE and press START to confirm. To enter a password, press left and right to select characters, press A to enter, press up and down to move the cursor, and press B to go back one character.
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei — About this game
"Digital Devil Story Megami Tensei" is a 3D dungeon RPG in which Akemi Nakajima and Yumiko Shirasagi take on the giant labyrinth Devil Police ruled by the Great Demon King Lucifer. Not only can you explore the passageway from the front view and fight demons, but you can also talk to them using COMP, invite them to join you, and summon up to 3 demons to form a party. The demons you collect can be combined at the Hall of Evil and transformed into a more useful race. The summoned demon consumes magnetite, and the moon phase affects enemies and negotiations. The goal is to overcome the mysteries, traps, and bosses in the six areas, save Izanami, and defeat Lucifer in the Infini Palace.
