I've been trying out the SMT mobile game. Pretty fun and I'm sure like many things it'd be fun if you had a bunch of people playing with you but mobile games is one of the hardest things to convince people to get into unless you have a lot of hype and dedication from multiple people like GFL did.

But especially coming from GFL, sure you can practically fuse into any demons you want eventually, but the problem is getting to the point where you can get any demon you want. And I think some demons are locked behind gacha which... has a fucking 0.5% rate for 5* are you kidding me. Even making it worse than that somehow, gem rate is ultra slow.

There are also a lot of weird UI quirks that scream "look at me, I'm different" instead of being practical, and the constant grating forced interactions in the tutorial in a game that has a lot of loading time in between practically any action (something that's a commonality in a lot of these mobage games with sweet ass graphics). But once you get past the part where the game seemingly plays itself 70% of the time, it is still plain ol' classic SMT.

It's like not as complex as some SMTs but more complex in other aspects. The half-turn mechanic from the mainline SMTs are in this game, but it works a bit different in that you can only gain half-turn from your current turn slot, aka if you're already in a half turn, then you can't get an additional half-turn, which is actually not a bad way to balance it a bit instead of turning every fight into an OTK fest.

The story is also not bad. Rika is easily the best character in just how quirky she is when she's not super dutiful and serious, and the maid girl handling the gacha, oh my fucking god she is both the scariest and the cutest and the saddest thing I've seen in a long time? I dunno how they managed it, but it's just this combination of her oddly demure smile, her dark eyes, her seemingly mentally damaged logic, and her subtle innocence. Honestly, the sad thing is that she doesn't really get a whole lot of scene of dialogue outside tutorial, but the little they showed of her, I wish she was just in the main story

But the amount they require you to farm to have fun is kinda silly. I'll have to see, but it is SMT. You're pretty free to get any team you want... just below 4*. Lots of iconic and fun demons in the 3* pool though. I have a team of Sandalphon, Mermaid (which is one of my favorite demon design), Cerberus, and Horus.

The game's also pretty. I think it's a sneak peek as to how the Switch version will look
