Amidst the glimmer of neon lights, technological advancement causes humans to be consumed by commercial convenience. In the shadows, a war between the Yatagarasu and the Phantom Society is brewing, Devil Summoners who harness the otherworldly powers of 'Demons'. Existing in the secret sea of humanity’s data, a digital hivemind has evolved into sentience: Aion. Observing humankind from afar, Aion calculates that a world-ending disaster is imminent and creates two agents to combat against it: Ringo and Figue. Together, these agents of Aion must investigate and prevent a butterfly effect that will lead to the end of the world.

    Soul Hackers 2’s only merit is that it streamlines all the mechanics that made the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series so popular among JRPG fans to make them more accessible for newcomers. It’s certainly one way to attract more people to these huge franchises, but that a rather unfortunate one.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a game that compares unfavorably to the recently released SMT V which I consider one of the series best. However, even when viewed on its own merits and nothing else, it falls far short of excellence due to its poor pacing, simplistic combat and endlessly dull dungeon crawling.

    It stands out on its own amongst the recent Shin Megami Tensei releases, carving a name for itself as a pretty great JRPG title on the current generation of consoles.

    Soul Hackers 2 was the sequel I never imagined, and it’s also not the direct sequel I would have anticipated. It is, ironically, spiritual, and it sits proudly in the court of Shin Megami Tensei. Not as a game to be judged, but as one of the presiding judges itself.

    Overall, Soul Hackers 2 is a decent game that mostly appeals to fans of the Soul Hackers JRPG series. Though it had some aspects lacking such as story, map exploration, and more, its combat and way of getting stronger in the game are very interesting.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a solid game. It’s not the most impressive technically and you can see the budget constraints, but it tells a fascinating story with a style few can match.
