The previous main entry in the series, Shin Megami Tensei IV, only managed to sell around 600,000 copies worldwide in two years, so there is no denying that the series as a whole has become more popular in recent times. Shin Megami Tensei V is now available on Nintendo Switch worldwide. You can learn more about one of the best Japanese role-playing games released last year by checking out my review.
