The popular Shin Megami Tensei video game series . A Japanese company called Icrea is behind the effort and has on Nov. 12 to raise funds for the project.
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI THE BOARD GAME (the company asked us to use all initials) is a “full-scale board game project” complete with 72 “high-quality and detailed demon figures.” Collecting demons and adding them to your party is a major part of the game, so these figurines should help you dive in. It will also help you retrieve random demon figurines lost on the couch.
There’s a board with lots of series-specific cards to go through, ranging from franchises to different locations and guns. The company says a game should take three to four hours. The title generated quite a bit of excitement at both Gen Con and the most recent Tokyo Game Show.
We don’t know exactly when it will be available. You know how Kickstarter timelines work. However, if the company reaches its initial funding threshold, there will be many stretch goals. This is a Shin Megami Tensei board game with dozens of cool looking demon figurines. Finding financial backers should not be difficult.
For those who don’t know, Shin Megami Tensei first came out in 1992 in Japan for the Super Famicom. There have been many sequels over the years. Shin Megami Tensei V but has since received a full-featured update called Shin Megami Tensei V: Revenge.
The Persona series is also a spinoff of the franchise. This raises a very serious question. Persona board game when? I want to hang out in a fake high school and eat ramen with a colorful cast of characters.
