If there was ever a sole reason to buy a DS, this is it. The next installment in the popular Shin Megami Tensei franchise by Atlus comes in the form of the DS spin-off "Devil Survivor."
The game combines a unique grid-based strategy mechanic when maneuvering characters on the battlefield, but once contact is made with an enemy, the screen changes to a first-person turn-based perspective in traditional SMT fashion, very reminiscent of the early Persona games or Dragon Quest.

The government has quarantined Tokyo after a surprise demon invasion. No one within the isolation zone is safe. Can you and your peers turn the demons against themselves before time runs out and all is lost?
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for Nintendo DS is a new RPG/SRPG hybrid in the award-winning Shin Megami Tensei franchise! This may be the first Shin Megami Tensei epic to land on Nintendo DS, but no aspect of the experience--story, visuals, music, or gameplay--has been shrunk in the process. In fact, Devil Survivor invigorates the series with an unprecedented RPG/SRPG combat system and more character customization options than ever before, all wrapped within a compelling, branching narrative. For the first time in the series, players can use a new Demon Auction feature to collect and eventually fuse demons as they seek to create the most powerful party.
