[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to Shin Megami Tensei with a few changed aspects. First, the automap screen can be called with the press of the R button. That is a major convenience, because in the first version, you had to sift through menus in order to access the automap screen.

[edit] Story

[edit] Introduction

This game takes place 20 years after the events in Shin Megami Tensei. The world was plagued by disasters. Over time, the air became unbreathable. Because of that, people flocked to an encapsulated city built by those who preach the Mesian religion. That city was called Tokyo Millennium.

[edit] Storyline

This game follows the story of Hawk, a battler in the Valhalla district of Tokyo Millennium. The citizens of Valhalla compete in a tournament in hopes of gaining citizenship in the Center district, which is out of the reach of demons.

Hawk fights in the tournament and wins. He gains citizenship in the Center district and has a personal meeting with the Bishop of the Mesian religion. During the meeting, he is told that he is the Messiah, who will one day save mankind from the bleak world and bring about a paradise called the "Thousand Year Kingdom".

Hawk is sent on missions from the Center to eradicate demons and prepare the world for the Thousand Year Kingdom. Yet while he travels across Tokyo Millennium, he witnesses first-hand the atrocities the Center inflicts on the people.
