A must-play classic from the RPG masters at ATLUS has been reborn in the form of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army has launched today. This enhanced version of the beloved supernatural detective adventure is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).
Published by SEGA, this revamped classic invites you to undertake the case of the century.
This isn’t just a simple port; it’s a faithful remaster packed with revamped visuals, significant quality-of-life updates, a new full voice-over, and an overhauled battle system, making it the definitive way to experience this fantastical Taisho-era mystery.
An Unforgettable Case for the Narumi Detective Agency
The story begins in the Capital, Taisho 20 (a fantastical 1930s era Tokyo). A young heiress approaches the Narumi Detective Agency with a strange and desperate request… to kill her. Before any explanation can be given, she is kidnapped by mysterious figures in red.
This sets in motion a thrilling investigation for our protagonist, the apprentice detective Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, who moonlights as a powerful Devil Summoner assigned to protect the Capital.
What starts as a seemingly straightforward missing persons case soon spirals into a dark conspiracy that threatens to shake not only the Capital, but the entire nation of Japan.
A Supernatural Detective Adventure: The Gameplay
As Raidou, you’ll need to channel your inner detective to uncover the truth. Your investigation will take you through the historic streets of a fantastical 1930s Tokyo, but also into the Dark Realm – a dangerous juncture between the real world and the netherworld where demons abound. You’ll need to use both your sharp mind and the might of your demonic allies to leave no stone unturned.
A key part of the Devil Summoner series is working with demons, and this title is no exception. With over 120 demons to negotiate with, capture, and summon, you’ll need to choose your allies wisely to prevent humanity from being consumed by darkness.
