The Perfect SMT Mobile Game Hidden in a Mediocre Gacha

- Sorry for the less snappy editing this time around, it's hard to constantly put in details and switch between footage when literally nobody talks about this game or uploads gameplay.
As a big fan of the Megaten series, I was real disappointed to find out I didn't really enjoy the SMT gacha game. But then, I discovered that buried within, this game had an extremely fun gamemode that nobody talks about.

If you LOOOOOOOOVE Terminator so much, WHY DON'T YOU JUST DRAW EM? EH? EHHHH????
If any foolish mortal even thinks of doing so, they would be instantly petrified for their hubris, for only the hallowed hands of Kazuma Kaneko himself are capable of drawing such perfection.
@@dumbino7745 SMT2 fanartist like bromaticbrotrap and other people who I forget the name of cut it pretty close I'd say though. I remember one just having multiple Terminators in a group with other human messian race characters from a while ago that was pretty cool.
Out here strokin’ mah Tokyo tower

LIGMA COMPANY MENTIONED
@@Cashmaster69 So called free thinkers.
@@allergyjelly so called free thinkers when... when the bus and company and.... urrrrr I cant do this really man. Limbus Company!!??!?!??!????? It has been mentioned????? Gurgh, damn I really have fallen deep into a rabbit hole 1 year prior. well this is it then.
you did what even the madoka collab couldnt, you convinced me to try this game
@@nodbynobdy that’s my secret ability. It’s the truth behind why I made this channel. To spread the rot.
wait they have collabs??!
could you pls list them all if you can
@@karnas1mpthey had Madoka, Sonic, Bayonetta and DMC
I'd love to see some SMT content from you. Everything you've talked about so far has been incredibly interesting to me, even when it's something out of my comfort zone like this.
I’m not really a gacha fan but your content is really good and this is like one of the two only gacha’s I’ve gotten into cause I love the series, awesome
Id love to see you do more smt content! Your editing is wonderful btw
I hate that I've been playing the game every day for the past 800 days.
Tokyo Abyss is the best part of the game and the OST slaps.
Yea, I’ll write that it is a really good mobile Game. :)
I hope you're happy with yourself, I'm considering playing SMT now because of you.
@@superpigeon15 :)
Ex-Dx2 player here (dropped it a bit before the first 7DS collab due to a mix of fatigue with the game and wanting to reclaim my time from gacha playing (I also played Langrisser around the time)). Initially liked it because holy crap they adapted Press Turn into a mobile game, and the Aura Gate mode is kinda neat (I was insane enough to max every element for AG2). Tokyo Abyss is a neat mode, though not one I sank much into.
Non-SMT players reading this, um go play Devil Survivor.
cant believe you made me download a mobile game 3 mins into a video
respect
The SMT fan to PM fan pipeline is real and you and I are proof of this.
2:50 3 vote total is funny for me
I will say that the presentation of this game is really good for a mobile gacha
I have not played nor thought about this game for over five years, yet here I am redownloading it.
I don't know what Limbus Company or this gacha game is, but always happy to see new SMT content. My recommendation for a starting point in the series isn't one of the strict "main" entries, but Strange Journey if you can somehow get your hands on it. That's where I started!
I'll be honest, Strange Journey is one of the tougher games. Not saying new players should stay away from it, but y'know lol
Still one of my favorite SMT games though.
Limbus company is the newest entery in the project moon universe a project moon has a small dedicated cult like fan base smt dx2 liberation front is a really fun smt gacha game made by sega and it has tons of crossovers and the mechanics and battle system is fun and a great way to get into megaten in my opinion
thank you sheen megoomi tensay
I had no idea the dx2 protagonist could actually participate in battle like the other smt protags, wow!
its after future world chapter where you learned to fuse demons into weapons and shield. Almost everything connected to that alt world is better then the original mode.
Nice video, got me to download D2 and give this game mode a go
Well, I normally don't know what to comment besides:
Amazing video, keep it up!
But you've become one of my favorite youtuber
Sooo
Have a nice day:3
Just wanted to say, the path of radiance OST is a great choice. I also love your narration, though I wished there was a short intermission of the OST when you praised it.
Oh goodie, my biweekly dose of peak is here. I will now inject SMT Nocturne directly into my veins
God I hope you do a Soul Hacker’s video sometime this year, I love that first game SOOOOO much
I'm so glad someone is doing the kind of video that I've been thinking of making for *years*. Imo it doesn't apply exclusively to Tokyo Abyss - I really liked what Aura Gate 2's story was trying to do when not concerned with just grinding Magnetite, but Tokyo Abyss is absolutely peak as a gamemode and I kinda love it. It's an SMT roguelike with a hint of Mystery Dungeon, I think that's fascinating. Like seriously it's goddamn trapped. Tokyo Abyss needs to be basically its own game, but it's also tied to Dx2's system and sets so it kinda can't...
Dx2 has a lot of cool ideas but the gacha ruined an otherwise decent game :[ Like I've been playing since near release at this point and it's so easy to see all the places where power creep decimated the system, especially when the starting metagame was pretty well-rounded and didn't rely on gacha demons very hard. The watered-down press system is a bit annoying to me but I got used to it. The challenge missions used to actually be a test of strategy, and now it's just "do you have the new broken shit? gee I hope so". No shocker the last few months I've basically barely opened it, with the Madoka crossover the primary reason I even opened it back up. I hope this kind of reaction gets Sega/Atlus to do an offline version soon-ish
Thank you for covering this!!! This has been a fun watch
EDIT: Your thoughts on the characters is exactly why Xana is my favorite character. She not only is an actually interesting character with an arc, unlike literally everyone else (maybe Vince in like ultra late story? even then meh), but she also isn't a loud trope spewer in my ear. She's just very pleasant and cool :) Finishing AG2 to unlock her is worth it imo but it takes a lot of investment so I understand why people don't
I think this is gonna get me to download d2 again
turns out they removed facebook link and i lost all my progress lol
@@Kekadis average gacha account linking
Bruh, imagine doing a SMT DX2 video and not even talk about our lord and saviour, mothman.
Big mistake, i am sending right now this video to the church of mothman, expect his visit soon...

M-Megakin😳😳😳
there are people watching...............
holy fuck allergy is a smt fan? hell yeah
The funniest part is that it's treated as a side mode to Alter World, the absolute worst solo content imaginable (at least in terms of gameplay). Seriously, even if your team is good enough to render losing on auto battle mathemathically impossible the fights will still take *at least* 30 minutes thanks to that stupid barrier system.
As for the main story, I think it picks up at Season 2, which is when some of my favourite allignment leaders appear. In fact, they *were* my favourites before Vengeance.
I've never heard of you or your channel but this was funny and informative and almost tempts me to download this game cause i do like smt style combat...
God i missed this mode because honestly i thought it was fun too, but i was scared to dig into this game more
The only "good" thing about this game is that Atlus now has 3D rendering assets of a ton of demons we haven't seen used in years. Looking forward to their inclusions in console SMT games 😊
Lol
I only know SMT by way of its spin off (Persona) and it's crossover with Fire Emblem (Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE#), but learning more about it is fun!
Also, great work on the channel so far! I really like your form of content, very entertaining and informative!
I’ve had this app collecting dust on my phone for so long. May actually try this out.
I got tired of Tokyo Abyss too... with a good setup you can auto most battles. Further, when every three floors are that month´s specific boss you don´t have to strategize much after you find demons that null their attacks. I think the months I played were against surt and mastema when I could bring orthrus and principality to nuke their turn.
They didnt give us terminator because he isnt a demon
He is a human specifically one of the messiah faction
You can recruit him and make some broken fusions as you can with every human in smt 2
My guess is that they will only bring him back if another game has the messiah faction in it (honestly its due time smt 4 had the gaeans but the messiash where switched with the ashura kai so it doesnt count... I want the gaea and meddiah conflict to be back in the games)
@@valletas I don’t want to admit you’re right I’m too busy huffing copium.
I've play this game for 5+ years from the day it released. And i saw this game slowly turn into p2w hell. You can't even step into pvp without fully build team with all premium demons with panels and stuff.
But ln the oter hand, this game pve is actually gold. And i agree that tokyo abbys should be this game main gameplay. Other that this, aura gate is also a fun mode specially aura gate 2.
This one is more akin to original smt dungeon crawling, and i like it
I love the Tokyo abyss and aura gate those were my favorite parts in smt dx2 I have played it 3 times
This gacha game would never take advantage of our innate gullibility! And our wallets!
Thank you for this morsel ,i lost my account so this is a good motivation to redownload it

It's funny how many modern mobile games are like, "Well, the boss man needs us to keep up the launch mode, but if we make that exploitative enough, they'll let us make a whole second game inside it that makes zero money!"
I love gacha roguelite modes, and it's the first one I played so I have some nostalgia for it
Finding SMT channels have been difficult lately thank you for popping up like a fusion error. Also might get back into Dx2 Just for this.
Terminator wuz a banger! Also, loved your vid totally subbing
girl voice jumpscare
Girls don’t exist on the internet. Get real.
As a SMT fan I was so hyped for Dx2 when it released, then I played the game. Didn't know about this mode thou, might give it another try if it comes reccomended by another SMT aficionado.
I'm not a fan of rogueliks but this really does sound like a great way to pass the time and get a quick SMT fix.
We got Elohim, Fury Masakado, Morrigan, Tiamat (SMT II), etc so yeah, despite it being a shitty gacha paypig game, im eating good
I keep getting back to farm the colabs and deleting it after while forgetting to link my account because some Gacha games have the most stupid account systems in gaming- The story was so kind of mid what I never got so far. Might pick this up when they make their next crazy colab so I feel better about losing my Overlord blorbos.
I've never had one video just make me instantly like someone like this.
This reminds me a bit of Arknights' Integrated Strategies. It's also an incredibly good rougelike game mode that is always there for you to play and costs no stamina or anything.
They could expand that game mode a bit, make it into a separate regular game, and I'd totally play it.
I sort of see it, but sadly it's not that glamorous a comparison imo. IS has vastly toned down it's difficulty over time, to the point that IS5 is like a gentle breeze. the only time that it starts to get challenging is with the expansion, but it often overscales. Sure, the mechanics get more complex, but IS2 is like the closest to how TT feels to play. it's probably more to do with how middling it feels to invest in teams that are 5*s, you always either go no hope invest or full invest because of diminishing returns. Luckily TT doesn't have this issue, the 4*s are quite powerful an upgrade for almost no cost increase (which is funny since AK has too many 5*s, meanwhile D2 has like too little 4 *s)
I dunno what i as aiming to state here (lost in the writing i guess) lol, but i guess i just wanted to say... My two bits is that TT feels way more personally engaging to play over a longer period of time, than IS, atleast the newer IS
Had the game back on my phone for a couple months and this made me open the app again lmao I JUST unlocked alter world too
talk about limbus company , you will fit just right
there's a few limbus vids on the channel already if you're interested

But I want MOAR
Im too deep into megaten now. Not only do i know of malice metatron but i own him as well. It's over for me

I find it hilarious that there hasn't been any real collabs with actual SMT games. You would've thought we'd at least had gotten Demi-fiend or the DDS cast in an SMT MOBILE GAME.
They specifically said they aren't doing that....
@@CereDulce37 No, but I just don't get why? Does Atlus hate their own products?
I remember this game mode first dropped unfortunately it was around the time I was done with my brief time with d2. Glad to hear they made this a good mode.
It's had some wild collabs like Berserk, Bayonetta, SotH, and GitS. I've seen virtually no publicity on any of that besides the few times I was on the Play store randomly browsing.
if they ever make a dx2 sequel it would be so much better if they cut the PvP mode so they dont have to make insane power creep for every demon they release
5:02 "Walter going to prolong it thus" lol
The green marker comes for all, as does free lunacy.
I remember trying out Dx2 back when it launched and ran into a major pain point of the very limited base inventory size which made me not want to continue on.
Wow I’ve never considered getting dx2 till you talked about abyssal Tokyo being an smt roguelike it’s been awhile since I’ve been addicted to a roguelike and this might be for me. Probably not gonna do this immediately since I’ve yet to finish my prep for masakados and do a godborn run and then take a huge smt break
I was expecting an SMT video the moment I saw the Maid Ippon Datara pfp
Your voice is very nice to listen to. SUBBED!
The closest thing to the Tokyo Abyss are both the roguelike modes in the Hoyoverse games HSR and ZZZ, which are the aspects of the game I find fun and legit spent a few hours 3 to 4 days a week. The mechanics of running and choosing buffs and decision making in saving or gambling your resources is pretty fun. Also SMT IV is goated.
thank youuuu for this
You can turn off Megakin's "daily tutorials", just pointing out.
@@ocaradaesquina821 holy shit.
Man, SMT is my favorite videogame series and when Dx2 released I legit got a new phone just to be able to play it (also Nier Reincarnation...RIP) then after less than 3 hours of playing I uninstalled it and haven't looked back since then. The amount of mechanics, currencies, and resources was just ridiculous, as if they looked at an SMT game and went "how do we take every aspect of this and make it significantly worse?". Why would I waste time on a mediocre SMT gacha when I can just play almost any other game in the series instead?
aw man...
i dont really wanna go back to that game...
Man, I wish they turn this into a Soul Hackers game. Dx2 is closer in concept to the original SH than whatever SH2 was.
i dont think were ever gonna see terminator again, we wasnt even a demon. just a mf with a jetpack
Never played d2, but i know you are a real one for picking terminator as a goat
I completely abandoned this game, I had no idea it had such an interesting subgame
I remember trying to find info on it and just giving up. I would only boot up dx2 (downloaded it looking for a mobile game since I had misplaced literally all my handhelds at the time) since I was ripping and running all the time back then. The game is fine, but I hate gacha. I would come back to get event crossover demons if I heard about them sometimes. Heard about abyss, but struggled finding info with how much I really cared lol. Cool it is as neat as it sounded.
Megaten fan and Limbus fan?
Bro, this is heaven-
I like tokyo abyss but i find it's too easy. I wish they would expand the pool of fusible demons one of these days lol.
Also i know you said you don't care for the game outside of tokyo abyss but the Dx2 wiki should have everything about it on there
how tf is Dx2 still going, it should've been long dead by now
@@RavenGivens Yeah my thoughts exactly tbh. How this game still has a full English localization is beyond me.
@@allergyjelly it must be dirt cheap to run I guess sigh tbh I'm a huge SMT fan but I hated this game when it came out
pvp rules this game, japanese ppl like that, and a lot of whales use money on this game
something something it's been the only new SMT game they released after 4A (until V, but remember, we were barely even told that V project was still alive for years). Also, very likely because Imagine had hit a cult status in jp side and the suits really wanted to still capitalize on the diehard fans from those circles. Like remember, Imagine ran for like a whole decade, probably going to be the same treatment for Dx2
Games sells really well surprisingly.
A roguelike SMT sounds amazing. Also me being a dungeon crawler aficionado means I'd probably love it. Thank god I have actual Megaten to keep me away from Dx2, but I think they really should take Tokyo abyss's content and make it a full fledged game.
This game is peak don't listen to the haters
Give it a try yall it's quite generous w the gems and once you get the first lucky pull you'll see what its about :3 also I thought it was pretty cool that they have Eileen/RinRin be so openly gay lol I thought it was pretty progressive for a JP game to have a cast of diverse asians plus one girly girl going for the girly girls! Tokyo Abyss is cool tho I just keep fusing at the conjunction spots until I get lucky w something OP and get some wild passives going for big boi dmg
The funniest thing about this game for me is that my brother and I have been agreeing on how it would've been awesome if this game had a post apocalypse part of the story and had our characters on the team, we literally had that conversation a day before the Alter World update.
Also the title theme is a BOP.
I didn't know Dx2 was still alive. I just assumed eos already 😅
Tokyo abyss strongly remind of pokerogue which made a lot of noise recently.
Sometimes simple is better
I downloaded the silly game but got bored really quickly with the gacha mechanics (don't like gacha in general)
Now I have a reason to torture myself through it until I actually reach the real game, thanks!
Oh no we got another dimeadozen terminator fan!
We NGMI as fuck brah.... I don't even think a whole SMT2 remake could save that dude at this point.
please make a devil survivor vid. It'd be funny 🙏🙏 more megaten content on yt is great to see
Definitely one way i can satiate smt craving after iv and vengeance
Do you have a discord server? You seem really chill and fun to hang out with.
-Also I need more people who are as deep into the SMT brain rot as I am please god.-
@@KiExx0 Nah, and tbh I don’t plan on making one, too much of a pain to manage. I’m semi-active in the Project Moon Community Hub though, so just feel free to ping me there for any reason.
@@allergyjelly Oh a community hub? Where would I find it?
@@KiExx0 should be able to find an invite with a quick Google, seeing as it’s public

Tokyo Abyss Battle Theme from SMT Dx2
@@allergyjelly thanks, it goes so hard, might end up using it as my battle them for when i pick up the smt ttrpg when that drops
The OST and 3D models of most demons made me like the game, I never even thought about all of the game's flaws tbh but I still like it 😆
Also, normal battle OST is better than Tokyo Abyss', fight me
show me the perfect gacha and I'll show you the tastiest burned rice.
Dragalia Lost..?
Never bothered with the gacha game beyond the awesome op.
Strange journey yippie
Son, What Gacha are you playing?
Terminator..
*probably*
I understood nothing about the gameplay but pokerougue with pressturn would be cool
I played this game years ago but quit and promised never to play gacha games again because of how addictive (and bad) they are. I think they added it right after the Alt-world PvP, too, which is when I quit.
I don't know if I want to come back though just for this, even if I believe this because the game mechanics were great. It's just the gacha stuff, in particular PvP and daily grinding that I hated.
Do more megaten videos miss crazy lady
I LOVE DX2 wooooooo lol I've played on and off for years and years now, It used to be THE HIGHEST DEF version of an SMT game you could play before Persona 5 came out. The first person dungeon crawler modes are pretty cool. Compared to other gacha games I'd say this one treats me the least bad which is why we still play it xD There's always something to work towards!
I have also played off and on for years and it is one of my favorite gacha games
Im also play DX2 but boy.. I can't keep up with the new monster banner that require u to get to pvp
