Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, known as Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey in Japan, is a game for the Nintendo 3DS console. It is an updated port of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.

Content[]

The game includes various Quality of Life changes and improvements, new artwork for the characters--including portraits for every crew member, new EX Missions, updated visuals for the dungeons, revamped UI, voice acting (Japanese only), animated cutscenes, a new dungeon revolving around a new character named Alex, three new endings related to Alex and the dungeon, as well as the following new demons: [1]

Zeus (New design) Amon (New design) Anahita (New design)
Demeter (New design) Anat Isis
Ixtab Vasuki Vritra
Kali Kikuri-Hime Cybele
Zaou-Gongen Shaytan Jack Ripper
Thanatos Tsuchigumo Night Stalker
Nadja Nebiros Hypnos
Belial Beelzebub Volvo
Master Therion Mada Mad Gasser
Maria Lucifuge Sandalphon
Armaiti

The following QoL changes include but are not limited to:

  • The introduction of difficulty modes: Casual, Standard, Expert and Impossible. Impossible is only available on New Game Plus and cannot be changed to another difficulty once selected.
  • A setting to speed up battle animations or skip them entirely.
  • Healing in the sickbay is free.
  • The sub-app limit was removed. The player can equip as many sub-apps as they so choose.
  • The Visualizer apps now automatically map Dark Zones. As a result, the Scanning Zero sub-app that enabled this function in the origial was removed.
  • The ability to sprint in dungeons by holding down the B button.
  • Using a demon source in fusion allows for the selection of skills to be passed onto the child demon.
  • Field Save, a single-save file that allows the player to save anywhere in the dungeon without the use of a terminal, was added.
  • Various new sub-apps related to combat and dungeon crawling were added, e.g. March to Death, a sub-app preventing a game over if the protagonist is petrified or killed as long as allied demons can fight. It is available at the same time as all other sub-apps, but cannot be developed on Impossible.
  • Commander Skills have been added, being a protagonist-exclusive command that are unlocked by equipping the proper sub-app. Some are used like regular skills that take up the protagonist's turn, while others are automatically used occasionally--the frequency of which is determined by the protagonist's Luck. Manual-used commander skills have a cooldown lasting between 5-7 turns depending on the skill.
