Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga Now Available On PSN
The PlayStation 2 game, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, is now available as a digital download on PlayStation Network. The game takes place in a wasteland called The Junkyard, where tribes of people who can transform into rampaging beasts vie for territorial control and the ultimate goal of gaining passage to Nirvana. Only the champions of The Junkyard can reach this hallowed place.
Digital Devil Saga is the first part of what ended up being a two-game series alongside Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Here's hoping Atlus has plans to release the second chapter on PSN soon.
Speaking of waiting for the PS Store to update, here's a reminder today is also the launch of SMT:Digital Devil Saga as a PS2 Classic on PSN

Our Take
I reviewed Digital Devil Saga when it released in 2004, and praised the story for having a, "bewitching charm that compels you to stick around until the credits roll," but criticized the gameplay – namely the high encounter rates and repetitive battles. Overall, I thought it was a decent experience. The dark story, which basically boils down to apocalyptic cannibalism, is the star of this show.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
