I am trying really hard with my reviews, I know that I am not the best for video edits so I would appreciate any recommandations! Note that I can't record footage on 3DS and since this is where I played the game, you are watching B-roll footage only! Thanks for watching! :)
In my opinion, while the gameplay is more like the older games. The story is the best out of all the SMT games. Especially with how the characters have to react to the situations and the law and choas hero are my favorite. Spoiler: Also, I love that the New Neutral ending makes the MC basically become the Doom Guy
The first RPG to force me to git gud. Did three playthroughs of the original DS version in total. One i barely scrapped by Mithras in Bootes then gave up on Carina, i remember the macabre fight the most, i felt like i softlocked myself inside the palace. Second i got to Eridanus and hit the difficulty wall that is Ouroboros, i was so tired of doing attempts and failimg that i cheated it to death, gave up on Grus because i was too scared of facing Maya. My last save is sitting there, untouched, in front of Mem aleph's door, one day i'll beat it and avenge my younger self, one day.
Did the same but gave up on eridanus 3 years ago I got back into the game last month and after like 70 hours or so i finally got the new chaos ending I can say mem aleph is almost easy next to the true final boss on redux :/
I finished the new neutral ending on a friend's copy last summer. This game made me an SMT fan, even if I slightly prefer playing some of the other entries. Such a unique experience. I will forever be afraid of the new final boss...
Great video! Really like the editing in this. Personally I think the game is great. -great atmosphere -great setting -great story -fitting music Definitely one of the most interesting SMT settings imo. You're constantly reminded how small and unimportant you are. Only real problem I have is that some dungeons really drag on. (Fornax.) The demon-cores for fusions were cool, as well. And alignment co-op was amazing. I wouldn't mind seeing it return. Only problem is, it's more fun to not know your alignment. You always know what you are in SJ.
Ok wtf i literally completed this last night and u make a video on it. Got the new neutral ending. I know a lot of people complain about the art in redux and i agree but the new endings are amazing and still have huge downsides fitting of smt. I think Womb of Grief is actually a really good dungeon as well and its honestly just an amazing game. Glad kt was my second mainline (first being 4) SPOILER: The new neutral ending is incredible tho honestly like it made me feel so empty knowing how 7 scheartzwelts pass and still humans dont learn
@@salsamonkey65 i had a maxed out magic black frost with ghe dyne skils and a max strength frost ace with madness crush and riot gun and its still took 5 attempts cuz of the damn torah skill lol
The Redux have good extra content and new endings but the waifu and lolly just dont fit with the game, while the original is more hard and better art style. Strange journey is my favorite main line but i cant choose which version is better lol Amazing video man
I didnt mind Alex. Makes sense that shes hostils and boring. Shes on a mission and very hardened from her future. The loli was weird but made her easy to trust. So the twist at the end was effective.
The new models are fantastic. People complain that they look generic. In my opinion that’s what they were going for. It’s the idea that none of the people in the cast is anyone special. You’re all just a team of people slapped together to go on a suicide mission. Everyone is on edge and focused on surviving, there’s no sense in getting to know the people part of your crew since you’re all one mistake away from death. The execution was perfect in my opinion.
Really great review bro! I been playing the DS version and am early in but have been enjoying the game alot! The editing was good with this review. I like the dungeon crawling RPG formula too bro! If I have any constructive recommendations when editing for a review, I recommend just making sure you don't leave parts like this in the video 8:41 but for your first huge review like this it's really good bro! Keep up the great work 💯
Thanks bro! I guess I missed that part :# & Very nice I didnt you were playing Strange Journey atm! You have to let me know your thoughts once you are done man!
@@DavidCastJRPGs Don't worry bro we all do that sometimes and miss something after editing, it happens to me even to this day it's just part of the process 😎 And yeah I'm nearly 5 hours in, and so far I'm enjoying it! I'll definitely let you know more as I progress bro! 💯🤙🏼
Honestly the best addition which puts redux ahead in my book are the demon and character sprites on the bottom screen during combat. It sounds like a small thing but it adds alot to see your party in that way, apparently it was planned for smt iv but unfortunately scrapped
Gah I loved Strange Journey Redux so much that watching this vid gives me a huge urge to play it again! Like you I did the law ending and me too regretted it because I felt for the guy and it all felt so wrong, uh this game is awesome. Loved every bit of it, the crazy dungeons so cleverly evil lol, the small story events in all the areas, the music, the dialogues... A gem! I should replay it and go for the demon ending or try the neutral one
13:00 I personally prefer the original sprites for the characters because i prefer Kazuma Kaneko's artstile, but besides that Redux looks better in all the other aspects
Great review also I played first strange journey on the DS and is my personal favorite main line game so far. about the difficulty well there some really frustrating parts in strange journey but my overall experience was that I enjoyed it a lot. My ending was the neutral route (that I somehow got in every megaten game I played so far)
I haven't played the spin offs of the series but considering the ones I played, definitely this one have the best story. I had no problems with ouroboros actually but The last two bosses from Redux were incredibly difficult to me. Considering I completed the womb map I thought I was incredibly overleveled, but then the final boss from the original game appeared and wiped my whole party in one or two turns. It took me a lot of grinding to beat it and then the womb final final boss was another spike that I wasn't expecting after defeating the othe boss. I was so frustrated that I ended up lowering the difficulty and even in easy it tookme so long to beat that boss (And that bullshit it does when it's like at 30% health...) I really loved this game and recommend it a lot but beating the new content the first time will get a lot of willpower. I played nocturne, smt iv, smt v and a bunch of persona games and I feel like the final bosses from this game ar the hardest ones by far. I've neve before have to change the difficulty
I played it on ds.I want to play redux because the original is one of my favourite jrpgs but i always start something else(playing last bible III and Nocturne atm) and i dont find the time to replay a game when i finish it.But i want to see law and chaos ending some time in the future.
RUclips's been recommending me some of these videos, and given Strange Journey was what got me into the series, I figured this was a perfect watch. Actually, currently in the midst of a 2nd viewing. I remember the surprise I felt playing the game all that time ago when Jimenez and Zelanin become half-demon and half-angel (I see them as halves only because being human originally and being given power by different means). I fucking loved the story, still love the story, and the bits that Redux adds in I also enjoyed (despite not seeing their endings myself yet). I just wish its password system would return in other games, at least in some form. Edit: As for the other differences... I personally don't care. I still enjoy the game regardless of its changes. It's a solid several hours exploring pocket dimensions as essentially a space marine, kicking ass with demons, angels, and other creatures by your side.
I have played the original DS game on neutral and my only 2 gripes are: Lack of skills for the MC. He's pretty useless compared to other demons for most of the game and unlike Nocturne you can't use Mana Refill + Mediarahan for healing, so you have to rely more on items, which leads to grinding. Apps aren't that useful for healing HP and MP compared to spells, and the good healing ones cost 5 points out of 10 available. The other is certain BS bosses like Ouroboros Maia (healing) , Zelenin (instakill spells if you use aj attack she isn't weak to, which you aren't told about. Also way over leveled for the time you meet her) , Jack (completely heals self, only feasibly beat without grind if you use Phys repel, which is rare at that point. Thry fixed him in redux afaik) and Mem Aleph (instakill that's unavoidable, BS)
I admit I've rage quit against Mem Aleph so many times for her damn skill that return all of your demons of a random alignment. The whole game up to that point encourages you to use demons of your own alignment for the demon co-op, and Mem aleph straight up has a skill with a 1/3 chance of punishing you for sticking to your alignment
Thanks for the review. I remember picking up this game because it said SMT and ended up enjoying it to do multiple playthroughs. I hated the maze like sector because I always got confused but once I got the doors unlocked it got better. I played the DS version though.
I'm playing redux, I have spent over 24 hours and I gotta say I love it, although it feels very easy, as of right now, only a few random encounters killed my party and the only boss that killed me was Ishtar, it's the same with P5R, still I'm having a good time
Atlus should remaster this game for PC/Modern Consoles. I personally think this one is amazing, one of the best, just like Soul Hackers ( Soul Hackers 2 is also pretty good ) Interesting to see that the Switch limited SMTV more than the 3DS limited this. Probably SMTV needs a PC port.
i straight up got a 3DS so i could play this only to find out there is no 3D for this game…a first person dungeon crawler on a 3d game system with no 3D…
My favorite Sectors/Dungeons in SJ Redux were the first 3 (with B being the most fun & memorable) and the last one (H). The rest were kind of boring or extreeeeeeeeemely annoying. Looking at you E and G!!
New Law has you fight Mastema, but is also easier because Soil Jimenez is easier than Awake Jimenez. New Neutral is harder mostly due to the new boss. And New Chaos is the hardest since you no longer skip Mem Aleph
I am watching your video and i need some suggestions to get into smt because i played smt 4 i dropped it because it was too hard for my liking should i wait for nocturne hd to come out or play a different game because most of the smt games are getting really expensive the exception is persona 5 and i wanna get into smt what are your recommendations @DavidCast JRPGS
If you have a 3ds you can buy them in the eshop for 20 dollara or so (Strange journey, devil survivor 1+2, apocalypse). On a psp emulator you can play person 1, 2, eternal punishment and 3 i think and persona 4 is available for pc on steam. Peronally I only played persona 4 and 5 and just finished strange journey and now I am playing persona 5 royal. I wouldnt recommend strange journey if you dont like the difficulty yet. I liked the beginning but the later dungeons were really anmoying for me and the last bosses were so unfun even after I changed on casual difficulty. In conclusion I would recommend persona 4, because its not that difficult especially if you change to lower difficulty, but there isnt that much dungeon gameplay but more social gameplay and a lighter atmosphere than mainline smt. I heard devil survivor 1 is a masterpiece but it doesnt have the classic gameplay and is more like a strategy rpg like fire emblem. What was your problem with smt IV? I thought it was relativly easy. Dont be afraid to change the difficulty to easy. As long as it improves your enjoyment its totaly worth. Sorry for the long text. If you need some info check nyarly out. He got some informative videos ;)
Hey Heather, good question, I have a video that id recommend you watch its where to start with mainline! Nocturne HD will have a lot of features to make it more accessible so that would probably be a good place to start as well! ruclips.net/video/rpyNvTVERh8/видео.html
@@n2badsam420 all of those games are much harder than IV. IV is really only hard the first couple hours. After that it actually becomes one of the easier games in the series.
If you want better art and more difficulty without the additional characters and extra plot/endings: Stick with the original. Everything else: The redux. I genuinely prefer the redux over the original though the art/UI on the original DS is MUCH, MUCH better. Even the SOUNDS/DESIGN of the UI felt more immersive and gave off a sense of serious urgency with the darker blue/black gradients, the loud and simple yet harsh beeps of selecting things, and the solely utilitarian look of everything with no fancy bells and whistles with unnecessary animations. It gave a much more serious feel to the game that I felt was lost in translation to the 3DS Redux.
The new models are fantastic. People complain that they look generic. In my opinion that’s what they were going for. It’s the idea that none of the people in the cast is anyone special. You’re all just a team of people slapped together to go on a suicide mission. Everyone is on edge and focused on surviving, there’s no sense in getting to know the people part of your crew since you’re all one mistake away from death. The execution was perfect in my opinion.
Biggest difference was not mentioned: In Redux if MC dies, it is not an instant game over. This alone is what made Strange Journey Redux so much easier. But I feel this change really weakens the narrative.

Same here. Neutral ending was decent but I wonder if the law ending would be any good. Most law endings tend to suck.
