Devil survivor is a very interesting take on the SMT formula. It's a strategy RPG and a really good one at that (Although that may just be my lack of experience with the genere, as I've only ever played FF Tactics on the psp and Fire emblem awakening.)
The setup is similar to SMT 1 in that it starts out with tokyo being locked down after being invaded by demons and the protagonist (a high school student) and his two friends must use COMP's and the Demon Summoning program to survive. Despite the similarities, the game is very much it's own thing, focusing more on the people trying to survive the lockdown and how life inside it changes instead of the demonic forces behind the invasion.
The gameplay no longer has you talking to demons to recurit them, but instead buying them from the devil auction (A literal auction house where you bid on demons against the NPC's) Other than that, the gameplay is the same as the other SMT games, with weaknesses, stregnths, blocks, reflections etc.
Devil survivor is one of the most interesting games on the DS and a welcome addition to the SMT Franchise. I encourage any fan of SRPG's or SMT to play it, and it's even a pretty good place to start if you've never played smt before.
