Three years after its initial release, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance remains the perfect JRPG, which shines in the new edition with better performance and an expanded story. Sensible additions to the game elements also make it easier to get started without scaring off hardcore fans, for whom new conveniences remain optional. A clear recommendation for anyone who has always wanted to get into the franchise or is simply in the mood for one of the best modern JRPGs.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is easily the definitive version of the game. Almost every gameplay change is an improvement that makes the game more fun to play, and the addition of the new storyline means that even returning players have plenty of fresh encounters to experience. At its core, it is still the same game but polished and improved enough that I found the entire experience to be a delight. It's a must-have for fans of the franchise, and even those who prefer the more plot-heavy Persona titles will find a lot to enjoy in Vengeance.

If you ask me, the best game ever made. Combat, fusion, music, choices, and story are the best they've been across the series. This game will absolutely make you think before heading into battle, choosing a skill, fusing, or making dialogue choices.
I only wish it were a little bit harder. everything gives too much xp. Maybe Atlus can add a DLC difficulty later? Please?

There’s simply nothing else on the market right now like this series – a tonally unhinged pop-cosmopolitan-apocrypha-anime-apocalyptic JRPG that plays like Pokemon on steroids. Just like the best SMT games, its plot is rich as syrup and just as opaque. Read too close into the nonsensical jumble of mythological creatures and themes and you’re sure to be nauseated. However, supposing you can appreciate the excess of everything and have played a few turned-based RPGs before, Vengeance is simply the most approachable and engrossing core Shin Megami Tensei game currently on the market and the best way to check out this weirdo series.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance brings plenty of additions to the table, including a separate narrative, new content, several quality-of-life updates, improved technical performance, and updated gameplay systems. It is a fantastically refined JRPG that seeks to achieve and expand far more than the original release did, as well as right many of its predecessor’s wrongs. This is the game’s second chance, and it’s well deserved.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a great RPG that represents the franchise well, presenting a dark and terrible world in a way that is accessible to newcomers and welcoming to veterans. However, its large size can make the experience a little dull and repetitive.
While we find the policy of re-releases questionable, we must recognize that this time Atlus has shaped what will surely go down in history as the definitive version of Shin Megami Tensei V, a title that on Switch was too limited by the lack of hardware power. That said, while in the eyes of the players at their first rodeo Vengeance will appear as a tasty opportunity to recover a fascinating RPG which until now had been the exclusive prerogative of owners of the Nintendo console, the numerous adjustments made to the gaming component, the presence of a narrative path semi-unreleased, and last but not least an improved technical sector, may not be as attractive as to push even those who have already stepped into the shoes of the Nahobino to dive into the Beyond a second time.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is the definitive way to play Atlus' devilish game of demon fusion, with a new suite of bells and whistles to smooth over what can, at times, still be an abrasive gameplay experience. It's incredibly combat-heavy, which can become oppressive, but working towards raising that perfect demon remains as engaging as ever.
As someone who loves the original SMT V on Switch and us playing the new one again on Switch. The way they have fleshed out the characters and story just by adding a few things here and there throughout and theBIG changes they made in the new canon of vengeance arc this game is an absolute masterpiece for me now

Better by every measure. The og was amazing, save for the mediocre story, but the new canon of vengeance storyline really rectified this. The bosses, demons and content are some of the most enticing reasons atlus has given us to buy their game for a second time, besides the fact it is on more powerful hardware this time around. Which, in and of itself is a pretty big reason.

My first ever SMT experience and I'm happy to say that it's a modern-day JRPG masterpiece. To me this game is better than Persona 5. Atlus should use this game a template for all their releases going forward. The atmosphere. The aesthetics. The music. The lore. The story. The turned-based battle system. The demon/pokemon system. A Masterpiece! It has character!
A must play for all jrpg/rpg fans 10/10.
