Shin Megami Tensei: Raidou Kuzunoha strikes PSN next week

Atlus re-releasing action role-playing game digitally on PS3

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army will make its digital debut on PlayStation 3 next week, the PlayStation Blogcast reports.

Unlike the vast majority of MegaTen games, the Raidou Kuzunoha sub-series separates itself from the crowd by eschewing turn-based battles in favor of an action-heavy combat system. It also employs a unique setting, or at least time period, 1930s Japan.

Atlus initially released the RPG back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2. It performed well enough to garner a sequel, Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, which improved on many of the original’s foibles. Perhaps we’ll see that on PSN someday. Or, if Atlus is taking requests, Nocturne please.
