Shin Megami Tensei VX (English Patched) RMK VX Windows

This is a rebuilt version of Shin Megami Tensei made using RPG Maker VX by an anonymous Japanese fan. Not only is it a from the ground up remake with revised mechanics, it also has extra content in the form of exclusive routes and an additional story featuring two new characters. The game is in active development and has been for a long time with new updates and patches popping up occasionally. Despite that the game is fully playable from start to finish and those updates are mostly just tweaks and stuff.

Updated "The Genesis" Version:

Released by: Siegfried1337 (aka Sobelle109)
Language: English
Status: Fully Translated

Note: while the game is fully translated, the demon negotiation dialogue proved too voluminous to tackle, and the translator opted for
generic dialogue trees that nevertheless allow the player to converse and recruit successfully. (this is true for both English versions)

Patch Version: v2.6

This game has different demon fusion mechanics than the original game and important information can be found in the included documentation. I've included not only the current updated English version but also the original translation without the recent updates and the current latest version of the Japanese one from not long ago this month. The purpose of the Genesis version is to update the English version to keep it up to date with the current Japanese version updates. So that one is the recommended one to get unless you understand Japanese. This game requires the VX RTP package which is included in the archives. The Japanese version has the Japanese edition RTP but I don't know if it's compatible with either version of the RTP (the readme for the Genesis one gave a link to the English RTP tho)

Note: if you would like a way to display the window bigger instead of fullscreen, there's a handy utility than can scale and apply shaders to anything imaginable. It works great with RPG Maker VX games like this. That utility is called ShaderGlass and you can find it here for free.
