I know, quite a departure from the original <em>Shin Megami Tensei <\/em>combat style. <em>Raidou Remastered <\/em>takes the original game\u2019s distinctive real-time action combat and evolves it with features from the game\u2019s sequel, <em>King Abaddon<\/em>, as well as a host of new combat elements unique to this game.<\/p>\n<p>Character progression is the key to success in <em>Raidou Remastered. <\/em>You can learn two types of Summoner Skills from your weapons \u2013 Combat Skills and Sword Skills. These skills take effect automatically when equipped and will give you a host of abilities and buffs. These skills can provide brand new, powerful attacks, increase your stats, and more. The difference between a student and a master detective is one who mixes and matches skills based on enemy weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Raidou Remastered <\/em>shifts the battlefield from 2D fixed camera angles to a 3D arena where you can move, dodge, and jump, adding a whole new level of strategy to combat. You\u2019ll also now have <em>two <\/em>allies to battle by your side, with over 120 different new and returning demons to choose from. Quick side note: demons will not only fight by your side, but also help you crack the case as you investigate, so make sure you utilize your demons out in the world to find clues, eavesdrop, and more. Additionally, to save you the time and effort, if you are overleveled for particular demon battles, you will auto-defeat your enemies.
