The Raidou Kuzunoha games quickly gained a loyal following due to their unique alternate Taisho-era setting, engaging detective narrative, and real-time combat alongside demon companions. Players take on the role of Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, the successor to a lineage of Devil Summoners. Created as spin-offs to Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, the first Raidou Kuzunoha game debuted in Japan in 2006, followed by its sequel, Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, in 2008.

The first Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha game returns after 19 years with its new-and-improved version

Nearly two decades after the release of the first game, ATLUS breathes new life into the series, preserving the original’s acclaimed writing and characters while offering upgraded visuals, improved combat, and more demons. The story is also now fully voiced, adding a whole new dimension to the game. Whether you’re a fan of the original or a first-time player, prepare to immerse yourself in this alternate Taisho-era epic!

Protect the Capital as a Devil Summoner in Taisho year 20

It is the 20th year of the Taisho era in Japan. As the movement toward Westernization begins to intensify, sinister beings known as demons threaten the peace and order of the Capital unbeknownst to its inhabitants. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, a Devil Summoner who wields the power to decimate demons, is tasked with protecting the Capital from these threats.

Moonlighting as a detective apprentice at the Narumi Detective Agency, he works around the clock to solve mysterious cases linked to demons. One day, a young schoolgirl appears with a bizarre request.

The client is Kaya Daidouji, the only daughter of the prestigious Daidouji family. However, before she can explain, she is abducted by mysterious figures. Tracking her down won’t be easy for Raidou and his boss, Narumi. This mystifying abduction is about to escalate into a full-blown crisis that will put the Capital and the entire country in jeopardy.

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV

The protagonist: a calm and quiet boy in his late teens. Since taking on the name Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, he has been tasked with using his extraordinary Devil Summoner abilities to safeguard the Capital. Outwardly, he’s a student at Yumizuki High School helping out as an apprentice at Narumi Detective Agency. He leverages his position as a detective to gather information, utilizing the powers of his devil allies to solve any case involving demons swiftly. Beneath his cloak, he carries several demon-slaying tools: a sword, a gun, and multiple tubes for sealing demons.

Encounter a memorable cast of characters throughout the Capital

You’ll cross paths with a host of unique individuals as you work to crack the case, including Raidou’s feline mentor Gouto, Raidou’s boss Narumi, reporter Tae Asakura, the patriotic Major General Munakata, and the crooked Dark Summoner Rasputin. To learn more about them, visit the official website.

Solve a paranormal case with the help of your demon companions

As a detective, you’ll investigate various incidents in the Capital, which will require intel from not just the inhabitants, but also the demons lurking about. You can also tap into your demon allies’ Investigation Skills to help you crack cases. Read Mind allows you to hear the inner thoughts of people unwilling to provide verbal testimony and Cool Down creates new paths by freezing water. On top of that, your demons can sleuth out areas that are off-limits to Raidou.

Search for clues in the Real World and the Dark Realm

Your investigations will take you back and forth between the Capital and the Dark Realm, a nexus between the Real World and the Netherworld that is overflowing with demons. Outside of Devil Summoners and others with spiritual abilities, an ordinary person cannot enter—let alone sense—the Dark Realm. However, once in a blue moon, a demon may lure them in. In this remastered version of the Dark Realm, you’ll now be able to enter combat by making contact with demons in the field.

The Capital features a variety of areas to explore, including districts steeped in western architecture as well as traditional downtown neighborhoods. At the Narumi Detective Agency in Tsukudo-Cho, you can save, heal, and review your progress on the case.

Coordinate with your demon companions in RAIDOU Remastered’s improved combat system

In the original game, you could only summon one demon at a time, but in the remaster, you’ll now be able to command up to two allies just like in Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Your companions act independently, choosing the most appropriate action for the situation at hand or executing the commands you’ve given them. Each demon has their own unique combat skills, so it’ll be important to consider how they complement each other or fare against enemies. You can also simply deploy your favorites—even two of the same demon, if you’d like!

Harness the new MAG Drain System

Magnetite (MAG) is a form of spiritual energy used by demons to perform Combat Skills. Raidou’s light sword attacks siphon MAG from enemies, while his strong attacks deal more damage but do not replenish the party’s MAG. Being able to quickly decide which to prioritize will make all the difference! Additionally, exploiting an enemy’s weakness will stun them, allowing you to deal more damage and recover significant MAG.

Turn enemies into allies using the art of confinement

The art of confinement allows you to seal an enemy into one of Raidou’s tubes. Should you succeed, you may have the chance to strike up a conversation with them. Choose an answer they like, and they’ll provide benefits such as healing your party or boosting your stats!

Go all out with Devil’s Bane and Spirit Slash

Once you’ve got an enemy off guard, you’ll be able to perform Devil’s Bane—a technique that inflicts a massive amount of damage and steals the enemy’s MAG. Additionally, meeting certain conditions during battle will raise your Spirit. Once it’s maxed out, you can perform Spirit Slash to deliver tremendous damage to all enemies in the field.

50 new demons have been added to the remaster, bringing the total to over 120. At the Goumaden, Dr. Victor’s research facility, Raidou can fuse the demons he captures with the art of confinement into more powerful ones. On top of that, each demon belongs to a specific Order, which influences their weaknesses, skills, and fusion properties.
