Content [ ]

The game includes various Quality of Life changes and improvements, new artwork for the characters--including portraits for every crew member, new EX Missions, updated visuals for the dungeons, revamped UI, voice acting (Japanese only), animated cutscenes, a new dungeon revolving around a new character named Alex, three new endings related to Alex and the dungeon, as well as the following new demons: [1]

The following QoL changes include but are not limited to:

• The introduction of difficulty modes: Casual, Standard, Expert and Impossible. Impossible is only available on New Game Plus and cannot be changed to another difficulty once selected.
• A setting to speed up battle animations or skip them entirely.
• Healing in the sickbay is free.
• The sub-app limit was removed. The player can equip as many non-conflicting sub-apps as they want.
• The Visualizer apps now automatically map Dark Zones. As a result, the Scanning Zero sub-app that enabled this function in the original was removed.
• The ability to sprint in dungeons by holding down the B button.
• Using a demon source in fusion allows for the selection of skills to be passed onto the child demon.
• Field Save, a single-save file that allows the player to save anywhere in the dungeon without the use of a terminal, was added.
• Various new sub-apps related to combat and dungeon crawling were added, e.g. March to Death, a sub-app preventing a game over if the protagonist is petrified or killed as long as allied demons can fight. It becomes available as soon as the player gets access to sub-apps but is not available on Impossible.
• Commander Skills were added, which are player-exclusive abilities that are unlocked by equipping the proper sub-app. Some are used like regular skills that take up the protagonist's turn, while others activate automatically, the frequency of which is determined by the protagonist's Luck and other context-sensitive factors. Manual commander skills have a cooldown lasting between 5-8 turns depending on the skill.

The game was announced as part of the Shin Megami Tensei 25th Anniversary alongside  Shin Megami Tensei V .

AtlusUSA announced the localization of Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey along with Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology . However, the localization team decided to rename the game as Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux.  In a PR e-mail, it was revealed that it wouldn't have English voice acting unlike the other two titles for localization.

In the near future, an unexplained phenomenon manifests in the South Pole.

The Earth is now home to over 7 billion people, pollution has eroded what's left of the ecosystem, the disparity between rich and poor has never been wider, and as a result, mankind suffers from environmental catastrophes, geopolitical conflict, wars, chaos and disorder.

All of this destruction manifests itself as the Schwarzwelt - a subspace anomaly that suddenly appears in the South Pole and begins rapidly growing in size, obliterating all that it touches. In response to this new and mysterious threat, the United Nations create a secret elite team tasked with making sense of and handling a situation beyond human understanding. Humanity's last hope, the "Schwarzwelt Investigation Team," couldn’t have imagined what was waiting for them. In order to prevent the extinction of humanity, the Investigation Team must risk their lives and press on into the danger of the unknown. They discover what some would call "Angels" and "Demons", creatures only heard of in myths. Are they friend or foe?

During their investigation, a mysterious girl appears in front of you, wearing unfamiliar equipment who travels the Land of Ruin by herself, then she suddenly becomes hostile. What is her objective? Ultimately, your choices and decisions will affect the fate of humanity.

The game touts brand-new illustrations by Masayuki Doi, updated visuals, UI tweaks, and more to make this journey back into the Schwarzwelt… even stranger.

You won’t be retreading the same nightmarish path as before because a brand-new character named Alex will play a major role in how the story unfolds.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux - Changes and additions in the re-release

Next week, another Atlus re-release lands on Nintendo 3DS with  Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux getting the do-over treatment this time around. As is now commonplace with Atlus, this port is an enhanced re-release which features both new content and other tweaks not present in the original 2010 game. Additionally, much like with Radiant Historia earlier in the year, this is also the first time Strange Journey will see an official release in Europe thanks to the publishing team at Deep Silver.

I've had some time with the game ahead of launch, and I wanted to break down what additions and changes you can expect in the new version:

Alex & The Womb of Grief

In terms of 'new content' in Strange Journey Redux , it all revolves around a new character Alex and a new dungeon area called the 'Womb of Grief'.  

While playing through the main storyline, you'll inevitably encounter Alex as she tries to murder the protagonist. At this point in the game, a new dungeon is unlocked for exploration, accessed independently from the game's original dungeon areas. Additional floors of the Womb of Grief periodically become available as you progress through the main game.

These new floors offer a slight bump in challenge from the original dungeon mazes, both in enemy strength and dungeon design. Progressing through the Womb of Grief will not only shed more light on Alex and her goals, but will also reward the player with some new demons and new Sub-Apps not found in the original release. 

The Womb of Grief also holds a handful of new Ex Mission side quests. Many of these are 'challenge battles', which place a limitation on the player as you are tasked to defeat a certain enemy group.

Three New Endings

The original Strange Journey had three separate ending you could see, depending on the player's alignment before a key moment near the end of the game. These endings are still available in Strange Journey Redux , but three new endings can also be seen if the player finishes the Womb of Grief.

Without getting into spoiler details, these new endings are still aligned the same way as before, but now you can ultimately choose between the old or new version of the ending of your final alignment - as long as you have completed the Womb of Grief. That means there are six endings in total to see.

New Sub-Apps and Commander Skills

App mechanics have been in several recent SMT titles such as Shin Megami Tensei IV and Apocalypse . Sub-Apps offer a variety of bonuses to the player such as HP regeneration or lowering the encounter rate. In the original release of Strange Journey , the player had a limit on the number of Sub-Apps that could be equipped at any one time.

This limitation is removed in Strange Journey Redux , and now you can simultaneously equip as many Sub-Apps as you'd like  (with the exception of Apps that do opposite effects, such as raising or lowering enemy encounter rate). Additionally, Sub-Apps can be equipped or unequipped anywhere on the field, whereas this had to be done at Terminal locations in the original release.

There are several new Sub-Apps with new bonuses, many of which are obtained through the new Womb of Grief dungeon. One such new Sub-App is 'March to Death', which prevents the Game Over screen when the Main Character is KOed, as long as one demon in the battle party is still alive. Several other new Sub-Apps improve the versatility of the game's Demon Co-op mechanics. There is also a Sub-App that prevents encounters with low-level enemies, and another Sub-App that shows you where teleporters will take you.

Commander Skills

Some of the new Sub-Apps unlock a new mechanic known as Commander Skills. These are battle abilities that the protagonist character can use in combat, with various effects. One such commander skill is 'Assailment', which increases the attack potency of the rest of the team for one turn. There are also some Auto Commander Skills that activate randomly during any given turn. One such Auto Commander Skill is 'Blitzkrieg', which allows the full player party to attack before the enemy party.

Presentation

As expected in re-releasing on 3DS, the game has a noticeable jump in visual design, especially when it comes to the game's user interface. While the character designs were originally drawn by Kazuma Kaneko, these have been slightly updated by Masayuki Doi, who also designed the newcomer Alex. Character portraits are also a little more animated, featuring various facial expressions during dialogue.

A handful of event scenes have been added to key story moments in the game. These aren't fully animated cutscenes, but rather still art with some dynamic effects.

Dialogue is also fully voiced this time around with Japanese voiceovers. A handful of new musical tracks are also found in the re-release, mostly centering around the new content.

Finally, the game has a new animated opening for the re-release. Note, while this is the opening to the game, it does in fact contain some spoilers. The opening is also subtitled in the English release.

Other Changes

Several other changes are also made to the game's numerous systems. Note that some of these changes are significant and others are fairly minor mechanical tweaks.

• The original Strange Journey only held two total save slots on the DS cart, and saves could only be made either at the home-base Command Room or various Terminals scattered among the game maps. Strange Journey Redux has 20 normal save slots in addition to a single field save slot that allows you to save anywhere on any map.
• Three different difficulty options can be selected this time around and can be changed at any time during the playthrough. A fourth 'Impossible' difficulty is available on a second playthrough, which cannot be changed once selected. The original Strange Journey did not have an option to change the default difficulty.
• More demons can be held by the player at one time. By the end of the game, you can hold 18 total demons compared to 12 in the original release.
• When fusing a new demon using a Demon Source, the player can directly choose which skills are transferred to the fused demon.
• When a demon wants to change one of its skills, you can now see what skill it will change to before deciding to allow the skill mutation. 
• When performing a Special Fusion, component demons can be directly added from the Demon Compendium (rather than having all demons in present in the current party).
• ~30* new demons, obtained via the new content. [Note*: Some of the 'new' demons were available in the original release through in-game password only].
• Now sub apps, player level, and map progress can be carried over into new game plus, which was not the case in the original.
• A demon can be changed in the battle party during combat in one turn instead of two.
• When retreating from battle, a chance of success is given as a percentage.
• You can heal your party at the home base for free, rather than at a macca cost.
• The thumb-pad can be set to either move the player or slide the lower screen map via the config menu.
• You can browse maps of other floors, rather than just the one you are currently on.
• Battle animations can be set to Default speed, Double speed, or Skipped entirely.
• You can 'dash' in the dungeon in the forward direction.
• You can set a toggle to have a final check before starting the selected battle actions.
• You can set a toggle to have doors automatically open with a forward movement, rather than having to press A.
• If there is an open slot in the four-person battle party when a demon is recruited, they will automatically join the battle party rather than going directly to the reserve.
• When a demon in your stock reaches Analysis Level 3, they will offer their Demon Source in the same battle, rather than at the next level-up.
• If a demon's weakness is found before Analysis Level 2, it will be remembered in the Demonica's memory (in the original release you had to get the Analysis Level to 2 to see weaknesses at all.)
• A handful of text/localization tweaks throughout.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux

INTRODUCTION

Picture this: A mysterious gateway materializes in Antarctica, connecting our lovely Earth to a realm called Schwarzwelt. The United Nations, obviously not fans of surprise inter-dimensional visits, assemble a team of crackerjack specialists to slam that portal shut. As a player, you’re stepping into the military-grade boots of a soldier assigned to delve into Schwarzwelt’s enigmatic depths. Should you accept it, your mission is to don a snazzy outfit known as Demonica and go demon-busting in this icy labyrinth. Welcome to the world of “Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux” on the Nintendo 3DS. Let’s get this party started!

DEMONICA SUIT: YOUR TICKET TO SCHWARZWELT

Ah, Demonica, the Swiss army knife of apocalypse-wear! Without it, you’re ordering a one-way ticket to “I’m-gonna-get-eaten-by-demons-ville.” This isn’t just any outfit; it’s a tech masterpiece capable of upgrades that let you go further into Schwarzwelt. Imagine it as the Ferrari of battle suits—slick, powerful, and with enough gadgets to make James Bond jealous. Each upgrade to this outfit provides invaluable capabilities, like better resistance to enemy attacks or enhanced demon negotiation skills. The beauty of Demonica is that it evolves with you as you plunge deeper into Schwarzwelt’s dark corners.

PICK YOUR DEMONIC TEAM

Okay, enough about fashion; let’s talk demon buddies! Worry not if you’ve ever felt lonely walking in an otherworldly realm filled with hellish creatures! In the game, you can summon up to three demons to fight beside you. It’s like Pokémon but with way more teeth and infernal contracts. You’ve got monsters that can breathe fire, heal, and even look like they stepped out of a heavy metal album cover. But remember, choose wisely! Your demonic entourage is critical to your success in the monster-infested dimension.

YOUR CREW: NOT JUST CANNON FODDER

You’re not going at it alone—well, not entirely alone. Alongside your demon posse, a team of human experts will join you in Schwarzwelt. Think of them as your inter-dimensional roadies, each with their unique abilities. They can range from scientists with useful gadgets to soldiers armed to the teeth. You can have up to four team members with you, each bringing a unique set of skills. Remember, Schwarzwelt is full of unknown dangers, and having diverse talents can be the difference between a celebratory high-five and a game over the screen.

UNEXPECTED ALLIANCES AND YOUR PATH

Now, this isn’t a one-dimensional hack-and-slash game (pun intended). In the world of Schwarzwelt, you can also negotiate with the demons you encounter. Yes, you read that correctly—deal! Why hack when you can chat, right? This opens up a whole plethora of strategic options. Will you bribe the demon, threaten it, or perhaps serenade it with your eloquent rhetoric? Depending on your approach, monsters can become allies, offer items, or just vamoose. Your conversations can dramatically shape your experience and even affect the overall storyline. So, choose your words as carefully as your weapons.

IT’S ALL ABOUT STRATEGY, BABY!

Schwarzwelt isn’t exactly a walk in the park unless you consider parks full of fire-breathing demons and soul-crushing despair. You’ve got to strategize here. With many demons to choose from and a limit of just three in your active line-up, your choices matter. Add to this the different human team members with distinct abilities, and you have a tactical Rubik’s Cube on your hands. Think carefully about the skills you need for the battles ahead, plan your moves meticulously, and don’t forget to upgrade your Demonica suit for heaven’s sake. Every detail, from demon alliances to suit upgrades, contributes to your survival and success.

Alright, soldier, you’re equipped with all the essential knowledge you need for your journey into Schwarzwelt. Demonica check, demon allies check, human team check, negotiation skills review, and strategy check. Now, what are you waiting for? The portal to another dimension isn’t going to close itself, you know!

Hardest Nintendo 3DS Games

• Monster Hunter Generations' complex mechanics demand quick adaptation to take on powerful beasts efficiently.
• Shin Megami Tensei series games require strategic demon management and skill utilization to survive intense battles.
• Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest's map design and enemy types pose a brutal challenge for hardcore fans of the franchise.

Nintendo might be most well-known for putting out systems that appeal to a more casual audience, but considering just how many developers are eager to make games for these consoles, it's inevitable that there would be at least a few games that end up being much harder in their overall difficulty. The 3DS is a prime example of this, having a plethora of titles that many people consider to be pretty challenging, and in some cases, downright unforgiving in how they play.

Final Fantasy: Hardest Games, Ranked By Difficulty (& How Long They Take To Beat)

Though some of these games are very big names, some are a little more obscure and niche that really should be spoken about a lot more, considering how satisfying it can be to finally beat them.

Monster Hunter Generations

Gamefaqs difficulty rating: 3.65.

Platform(s) Nintendo 3DS

Released July 15, 2016

Developer(s) Capcom

Genre(s) Action RPG

Admittedly, Monster Hunter Generation 's difficulty isn't too dissimilar from previous entries in the series. Still, as anyone who has any amount of experience with the series will know all too well, these games are well known for becoming incredibly difficult as they go along . The reason for this is that it plays into the whole gameplay loop of upgrading and acquiring new gear to then hunt down a brand new powerful beast, but Generations doesn't pull any punches with its monsters, especially later down the line once the Deviants and Elder Dragons start showing up.

It's also without a doubt one of the more "complex" Monster Hunter games, in the sense that it throws a lot of mechanics and systems the player's way all in the first few hours. As a result, learning to utilize Hunting Styles, Hunting Arts, and Signature Moves during a battle can take a lot of getting used to, but it's also important to learn them all as quickly as possible since they're all essential tools that are necessary for dealing with the game's most dangerous enemies.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked

Gamefaqs difficulty rating: 3.72.

• Platform: Nintendo 3DS
• Released: August 23, 2011
• Developer: Atlus, Career Soft

While seasoned Shin Megami Tensei fans will at least know what they're jumping into when booting up Devil Survivor Overclocked , it can be an outright merciless experience for newcomers, especially considering that it doesn't do the best job at actually explaining all of its complex systems to the player. To keep up with the enemies, who only get stronger and more intimidating as the game goes along, players will need to be constantly cracking new skills to use in battle, alongside keeping their demons at high levels so that they aren't one-shot at the beginning of a fight, which is a very common occurrence.

7 Hardest Tomb Raider Games, Ranked

Speaking of the demons, these devilish little creatures essentially act as supporting units for the human characters, but because the player will have to control up to four entire teams of demons at one time, it means that using them all effectively is far from easy. Additionally, the staggering amount of passive and active abilities that each character has can also be difficult to know how to use, especially in those first few hours when everything is still new.

Shin Megami Tensei 4

Gamefaqs difficulty rating: 3.81, shin megami tensei iv.

Platform(s) 3DS

Released July 16, 2013

Developer(s) Atlus

Genre(s) JRPG

As if Devil Survivor Overclocked wasn't already challenging enough, Atlus decided to double down with Shin Megami Tensei 4 , resulting in what many consider to be the hardest mainline game in the series to date. A huge reason why the game can be so unforgiving is because of how unreliable the grinding is , with each battle only gifting players with tiny stat buffs and barely any EXP. As a result, players can't just grow their party to become absurdly overpowered, but instead, are encouraged to use clever strategies and demonic powers to overcome the enemy.

When talking about Shin Megami Tensei 4 , it's also very important to bring up the critical hits, which can be incredibly frustrating to deal with, especially because if an enemy manages to land just one of them, they can instantly wipe out the entire party in a mere few seconds. Buffs and debuffs also play an incredibly important role in the battle system, so forgetting to use them can quickly lead to a Game Over screen for most of the tougher battles later in the game.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

Gamefaqs difficulty rating: 3.85.

Released May 24, 2013

Developer(s) Monster Games

Genre(s) Platformer

Despite the 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns having its difficulty purposefully dialed down from the Wii port, it still manages to be one of the most arduous entries in its series, which is certainly saying something given its reputation. Of course, punishing platforming sections and relentless enemy types are expected from a Donkey Kong game, but the timing window for Donkey Kong's movements is so precise that it can make super jumping and dodging extremely difficult to pull off, let alone master.

Aside from the base levels, which already pose a pretty considerable challenge on their own, there are also the K levels, which are considered so difficult that only the most experienced platforming fans will be able to take them on without ripping their hair out in the process. Ultimately, a lot of longtime Donkey Kong fans appreciated this return to form as a nice breath of fresh air from the more accessible platformers that were being released at the time .

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux

Platform(s) Nintendo DS, 3DS

Released May 15, 2018

Developer(s) Lancarse, Atlus

Because Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey was a cooperative product between Atlus and Lancarse, it feels quite different in tone and atmosphere to the other SMT games, but it does still carry over many of the core gameplay mechanics, and the series' brutal difficulty too. Just like previous entries, a big part of the game revolves around recruiting demons who can then be used in battle, but acquiring them is much harder this time around because of the alignment system, which allows demons to turn down the player's request if they don't align with them on a moral basis.

6 Hardest Persona Games, Ranked

Additionally, while demons are immensely powerful assets during an intense fight, it's not always guaranteed that they'll remain loyal to the player, since it can be easy for them to refuse certain commands, or even go against the player, depending on certain actions made throughout the story . This adds a lot of unpredictability to the gameplay, which makes it more or less impossible to rely on a dependable playstyle, so luck does play a very big part in judging whether a battle will go according to plan, or if it will result in a Game Over screen.

Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest

Fire emblem fates.

Released February 19, 2016

Developer(s) Intelligent Systems

Genre(s) Tactical, RPG

When the Fire Emblem Fates set of games was first announced, Conquest was pitched as being the hardest of the three, and the game that hardcore Fire Emblem fans would get the most enjoyment out of. It's fair to say that Intelligent Systems certainly wasn't lying when they said this, with Conquest being just as, if not more brutal than the classic games due to its merciless map design and lethal enemy types.

Though the game has some amazing maps that are packed full of detail, many of them are also specifically designed to work against the player most of the time, with there always being ambush spots where enemies can pop up, along with plenty of small environmental hazards that can inflict debuffs on any units standing near them. Many of the enemies are also designed to dish out an absurd amount of damage, often through the use of Dual Strikes, which can pretty much kill a character outright if both attacks land, and if permadeath is on , it means that character will be gone for the rest of a playthrough. In fact, Fire Emblem: Conquest reignited the age-old discussion about whether difficulty makes a game more fun, which hasn't been discussed with Fire Emblem in mind ever since Sacred Stones for the GBA.

GameFAQs Difficulty Rating: 4.11

• Released: December 29, 2011
• Developer: Terry Cavanagh

On the surface, VVVVVV can seem like any other retro 2D platformer title , but in reality, it's a very tough experience that, while not impossible, is still extremely difficult to play through from start to finish. Players aren't able to jump in VVVVVV , but instead, they can reverse the direction of gravity to cling to specific surfaces. Because of the way the levels are designed, it means that most of the platforms are right next to a layer of spikes or a patrolling enemy, so players need to be extra sure that flipping surfaces won't just lead to them dying.

There may only be eight main levels in the game to run through, but because of how large and expansive each of them is, it's all too easy to get completely lost when there can be upwards of 400 rooms in a given area at one time. Things only become more challenging once moving platforms and optical illusions also start being thrown into the mix. Combine this with a severe lack of checkpoints, and it results in VVVVVV being a very unique, but also incredibly hard 3DS, platformer to complete.
