The best DS game I have ever played, I cannot recommend this enough to strategy-RPG fans.
The graphics and music are the only items keeping me from giving this gem a perfect "10". The music is fun and I enjoyed it, but I could see how someone who cannot stand J-pop would find it hard to take. And the graphics are the only subpar part of the experience. The character and demon art is great, but the animations on the battlefield leave just a little to be desired, and the fact that there are no character animations to speak of in-battle leaves a lot to be desired.
Graphics aside, between the amazing story, which it really is, and the addictive combat and even more addictive demon auction and fusion system, this is a game that just keeps on giving. When you purchase Devil Survivor you are getting more than your money's worth.
