Do not be surprised to get an instant Game Over when an enemy pulls out the curse based death attack while your main character is weak to curse attacks. Lower the accuracy of your enemy and/or raise yours and they'll barely ever hit you, wasting additional actions of their round on top of doing no damage.Īll of these are options your enemies have too, of course.
This also makes Nocturne one of the rare breed of JRPGs where buffs and debuffs are incredible useful.
On the other hand, should that enemy resist fire attacks and you hit them with one, it eats up an additional action, giving you less to work with on your turn. Up to eight turns should everyone on your team hit a weakness or critical. Let's say your enemy is weak to electric attacks and you hit them with one. Until the point where weaknesses and resistances come in that is. That means every one of your max of four party members gets one turn per round, everyone on the enemy's side gets a turn during their round. Running into the random battles brings up the Press Turn system. Which thankfully shouldn't be as hard to most people anymore, because unlike back in 2005, now there are a lot of Megami Tensei games with similar systems you could have already learned from. It gets progressively easier the more you understand its systems though. Even though the difficulty of Nocturne is often exaggerated, at least on the normal difficulty setting, it is still by no means an easy game.

If you think that surviving in a postapocalyptic world full of demons that want you for nothing but your life energy is tough, you might be right. Beware if you need a strong and more standardised plot with constant human interaction though, because you are not getting that here. Taking part in this new demonic world and seeing the changed places is super cool, if that is your thing. Nocturne is about the immersion into the world, finding interesting titbits and ultimately either a way to follow or your own way in-between. And at the end you get to decide which of six possible new worlds will be born. Find out how they cope and what their ambition for the new world is. Roam the destroyed world and stumble into the bits and pieces of the puzzle, meet other survivors and new rulers. The game is a lot more about the journey towards that end than the end in and on itself. Simple, right? Nocturne is a bit atypical for a JRPG in that the main narrative is not a big strong thread to follow. A world who's sole purpose is for one faction to gather enough energy to bring the rebirth into a new fully formed world of the design of their ambition.Īnd that's it. A world between worlds, ruled by demons, angels and any mythological being in-between. It comes with the benefits of having cool glowing tattoos in the dark and being able to live in this vortex world. But this is the main SMT series, so the end is inevitable and within fifteen minutes of the game starting, the world as we know it is no more.īut fret not, you are reborn as the Demifiend, half human half demon. Just to find out your teacher is involved in a scheme to bring the end of the world! Well clearly, was this your usual JRPG, or even the Persona subseries, we would have to stop this.
On the way to meet your two friends to see your teacher at the hospital, you'll pick up rumours about demonic cults and all that good stuff.

So really, if you didn't get that initial release on the PS2 or found it on the PS3's PSN store, you were out of luck. A later release as Nocturne Maniax Chronicles, exclusive to the limited edition of the second Raidou Kuzunoha game, also stayed locked to Japan. An expanded re-release, called Nocturne Maniax, should sell better a year later and even got picked up as the first main game to be released in the West! Missing its number in North America and due to licencing issues being renamed Lucifer's Call in Europe. It first released in Japan almost ten years after the second game, to revitalize the franchise, but kind of didn't manage to. Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is an interesting game, because it was released three times, yet never left the PS2 (unless PS2 Classics on the PS3's PSN count).
