Why you might like it

  • A genuine MMORPG entry in Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei franchise, developed by Cave/GungHo Online, letting players explore a post-apocalyptic Tokyo overrun by demons.
  • Carried forward the series' signature demon recruitment and fusion mechanics into a real-time, open-environment MMO combat system rather than the franchise's usual turn-based battles.
  • A rare example of a major console RPG franchise getting a genuine, internationally-published MMO spin-off rather than just mobile gacha adaptations.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Western service was fully shut down in 2014 when Marvelous USA closed its PC online game department, so there's no official way to play the international version today.
  • The game changed publishers multiple times in the West (Aeria Games, then Atlus, then Marvelous USA), reflecting an unstable commercial history even before its final shutdown.
  • No reliable gameplay screenshot could be sourced during this research pass; the profile uses a placeholder image.

Gameplay, availability and research notes

This profile documents the Japanese-language service of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine (真・女神転生IMAGINE), the same fantasy mmo developed by Cave / Atlus and documented in full under MMOFinder's main Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine profile. Business model was Free-to-play.

The Japanese service launched in April 2007 alongside the original release and continued under CAVE for years after the Western Aeria Games/Atlus Online/Marvelous USA service closed in 2014, finally ending in May 2016. See the main Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine profile for full gameplay, business-model and Western-service history.
