It allows you to summon random demons, and also fuse them together to form more powerful demons.

It also comes with a Harmonizer that lessens the effects and impact of demons' attacks against you, but it doesn't make you immortal/invincible (you'll still die if you take enough damage).

Having just finished a game that involved summoning a demon to deal with another demon and having it go horribly wrong, fuck no.

Hell yeah

Assuming I don't die to the first one I summon, it'll be totally sick

Can you desummon?

If so, I summon and desummon until I get a succubus.

You can release them, yes. But they'll just start wandering around the real world.

It comes with instructions, and can be installed on a PC or a smartphone.

They can be used for protection (from humans, other demons, or other demon-users), or to utilize their own abilities for personal gain.

You may also need it for the world that's about to come.

If SMT has taught me anything, its that the only happy ending in a story with demons (and angels) is telling them all to fuck off and then never interacting with either of them.

Dark creatures from the underworld, hell, or some analogue to it. Though some may also be demonized figures from other myths and legends.

If you can tame her, sure.

Guess you didn't play Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. Specifically, the "Peace" route. >_>

If you're talking about the "true neutral" ending, that still required murdering both god and the devil.

EDIT: No, wait... I think that spoiler is to base SMTIV, not apocalypse. But since its a sequel I guess it still applies.

I don't play SMT, what's the downsides?

Like, does every demon I summon corrupt me somehow? Is it random what I summon? Are the demons compelled to obey me like Pokemon?

Yes, though you don't kill God in the original, but his agent Merkabah. Same in Apocalypse, but you also kill the actual God ("YHVH"), and in the Peace route, humans, demons, and angels are all shown working together to rebuild the world. It's a very strange departure from how things usually go in SMT games.

They will obey you if you negotiate with them and tame them. However, typically when the Demon Summoning Program is released to the public, it means that the world is about to get VERY bad.

More daemon than demon.

The entities you summon obey you and can not corrupt you. Summoning isn't random.

Generally somehow people will be aware you have a demon summoning program and try to take advantage of you.

I think the message in a lot of SMTs is that a lot of humans are even worse than demons, and not everybody's just using demons to go on wacky adventures

From what I've learned from SMT stuff, is that things are about to get really, really bad rather soon and my highest chance of survival comes from using it.
