Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 is a tactical role-playing game developed by Atlus, originally released for the Nintendo DS in the early 2010s.

The game places you in the shoes of a high school student in Japan who, along with friends, receives a mysterious application on their mobile phones. This app, called the "Davil Summoning Program," allows them to summon and control demons. However, the phones also display "death clips," showing how people will die. A cataclysmic event begins, with demons invading Tokyo, and the player must lead a group of survivors through seven days of chaos. Gameplay involves managing a party of characters, each able to equip multiple demons. You explore Tokyo, interact with characters, make choices that affect the narrative, and engage in grid-based tactical combat where positioning and demon skills are key.

During battles, you move your units across a map, attacking enemy demons. Winning battles often involves exploiting weaknesses and using combo attacks by attacking multiple enemies with one unit. Outside of combat, you can negotiate with wild demons to recruit them into your party or fuse existing demons to create more powerful ones with new abilities. The progression in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 is heavily tied to the passage of time; each day presents specific story events and limited opportunities to explore or fight, forcing you to make strategic decisions about how to spend your time before the next major event occurs.

The narrative branches significantly based on the player's dialogue choices and actions, leading to multiple endings. The game's structure revolves around surviving a week, with each day presenting new challenges and revelations about the mysterious force behind the invasion.
