Announced as an updated version of one of the Nintendo Switch's most popular JRPGs, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance seems set to match the efforts of previous Atlus re-releases. While the original SMT5 has achieved impressive sales and an overall positive reception among fans, it has also been the subject of several criticisms which tend to favor the previous mainline entries of the franchise. The elements that Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has been revealed to feature seem aimed at addressing many of these issues that players have expressed, potentially allowing this to be a highlight of the series when it arrives.
