Description from IGDB IGDB

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus for the Nintendo 3DS. It is set in the same universe as Shin Megami Tensei IV and forms part of the Shin Megami Tensei series, the central series of the Megami Tensei franchise.

Storyline IGDB

"2038, Tokyo. When a young Hunter cadet is killed by a sudden demon attack, he strikes a deal with the demon Dagda. In exchange for being resurrected, he must serve as Dagda's Godslayer. Now possessing new demonic power, the boy quickly finds himself embroiled in an adventure that will lead him to the very edge of the apocalypse and beyond."

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, the player controls the demon hunter Nanashi as they explore locations including a post-apocalyptic Tokyo and the medieval kingdom Mikado. The setting, most demons, and a large number of mechanics are carried over from the game's predecessor Shin Megami Tensei IV. The player navigates local environments with a third-person perspective, with the aid of an overhead worldmap. Battles take place from a first-person perspective, and are triggered either through story sequences or encountering enemy sprites in the environment. The party gains experience points and levels up by winning battles and completing quests. When the protagonist gains a level, he is given skill points allotted to five different statistics which alter how he performs in battle. When in battle, Nanashi has a party of three demons and a "Partner", an automated companion with a unique demon roster, giving them a different set of abilities. During battle, both player and enemy actions are governed by the turn-based Press Turn System, a battle system carried over from previous entries in the Shin Megami Tensei series. The system revolves around exploiting physical or elemental weaknesses, and landing critical attacks: if a character strikes another character's weak point or deals a critical hit, the party gains an extra turn, while if the attack is absorbed or blocked, they lose their turn. If a party member from either side ambushes the enemy, strikes a weakness or gets a critical hit, they may enter "Smirk" status: Smirking temporarily increases a character's damage, eliminates their elemental weaknesses, and guarantees their next attack will land as a critical hit. It also grants temporary bonuses to a character's skills. In addition to fighting demons, they can also be persuaded to join the player's side, as the only way to gather a party. If a demon does not immediately attack, it is open to negotiation and can be persuaded to join. If a demon agrees to join but Nanashi's level is too low, another demon is called in to take the first demon's place. Once part of the party, demons can engage in dialogue, and grant skills and bonuses to Nanashi. Certain abilities also effect the demon's health, magic and elemental resistances, with certain attack types either inflicting penalties or granting additional status buffs. Two or more demons can be fused into a new form, granting new abilities. During fusion, players can choose which skills are retained and which are discarded.
