Taisho, hee-ho!
One lovely side-effect of nearly every game coming to PC these days is that Nintendo Direct showcases tend to be full of great new announcements for us. Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is one that falls especially near and dear to my heart.
Released way back in 2006 on the PlayStation 2, it’s a historical spinoff from Atlus’ venerable Shin Megami Tensei series. The first half of a duology of games about a paranormal detective solving crimes (and averting the occasional apocalypse) in 1930s Tokyo.
And now it’s coming to PC. This June, in fact, and hopefully it won’t be too much longer until we get the second half of the adventure. Take a look at the announcement trailer below, showcasing the spinoff’s big divergence from classic Shin Megami Tensei design: Real-time action RPG combat.
Interestingly, this appears to be more of a full remake than a remaster.
