Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Continuing Digital Devil Saga, a pair of games in which the Embryon tribe fights five other tribes, this role playing game for the PlayStation 2 was released in 2005 in Japan and North America. Players control Serph, Heat, Argilla, Gale and Cielo, joined by Sera and Roland in this second game. The characters can change into a demon form, which is their main form in battle. They fight in random encounters and story-focused boss fights, with experience points after each battle. Abilities are governed by Mantra Grids: Mantras are bought with the currency Macca and then mastered with Atma Points from defeated enemies. A character can equip eight abilities at a time, and when two or more equip the same one they can perform a special attack together. Demon forms and Mantra Grids are still a good reason to play through it.
