Three teenagers ? a mutable boy with headphones, a nervous and slightly nerdy boy, and a busty girl they barely know ? are hanging out in Tokyo Shibuya?s ward one day. Suddenly, disaster strikes! A massive earthquake rips the city apart, knocking out the power grid, phone service, trains, utilities, everything. The city?s harried survivors huddle together in parks and other open spaces as the trio, brought together by this disaster and unified by their possession of mysterious cell phones that still work, find themselves responding to eerie predictions of their own deaths by summoning demons ? pixies, ogres, kobolds, and more ? with their phones. Soon, they become embroiled in a much larger tale as the vanguard of humanity?s battle against an incursion of otherworldly monsters that threatens the whole of the world, facing off against ever more powerful invaders through turn-based combat with grid-based deployment.

If all of this sounds familiar, that?s because this is the premise of 2009?s Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for DS (and last year?s slightly tweaked 3DS remake, Overclocked). It is also, to a word, the premise of Devil Survivor 2. You?d be forgiven for writing off DS2 as a copy-and-paste rehash of its predecessor, because the similarities between the two games? opening are downright uncanny. It?s not until you?ve invested a couple of hours into the game that it begins to spiral away from what?s come before and take on its own shape and identity.
