Shin Megami Tensei (1992)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Fantasy, Warfare, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:The story follows a nameless protagonist who lives in near-future Tokyo. When a portal to the realm of demons is opened, United States officials order a nuclear attack on Tokyo. Transported with two other supporting characters thirty years into the future, the protagonist finds the Earth ruined by a demon invasion, which is now the stage for an escalating conflict between the Order of Messiah and the Ring of Gaea, conflicting cults who wish to bring about kingdoms for their respective patron deities (YHVH and Lucifer). The story is influenced by moral decisions the protagonist makes, aligning him either with the Order, the Ring of Gaea, or setting him up as an independent agent.
The gameplay uses first-person navigation of dungeons and turn-based battles against demons. The player can recruit demons as allies by talking to them rather than fighting them, and two to three demons can be fused to create new demons.Show more

I was so upset when support just stopped for SMTI's official translation. Despite the Japanese version making its way to switch online, for some reason the English translation never followed. I would love to be able to finish this game; I spent hours just replaying the start and having a great time.
i'll be so real. i haven't finished SMTI but getting this in an accessible fashion, on a platform most gamers can play, would absolutely change the game for SMT fans. it's such a neat game, w a compelling and curious story, and the graphical limitations only make it all the more inch resting. i hope it can come to GOG!
My favorite part of this game is that it was only available in English on iOS for a couple of years... while being older than me by 7 years... and has been on a ton of systems PlayStation, gameboy advanceed, snes, mega cd, and another console that was a monstrosity? oh also android... plus switch, and i think wii u/wii but it would be a emulated version of a previous version....i do enjoy the series and have gotten to play a little of this so i would love to actually play it officially without weird issues
I have played this game only a little. And predictably only an emulated version, due to the simple fact the game has never had an official release outside Japan. Excluding the brief and temporary release for iOS.
Even with that, I know this and the other early SMT titles are extremely difficult. But with this series, it is part of the charm.
If it were up to me, I'd certainly make it so that the games, including this, the very first one, would be accessible for people on newer devices.
Could you actually make it happen? If you did, I'd be truly impressed.

Valkyria Chronicles 3: Unrecorded ChroniclesSenjou no Valkyria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles, usually referred to as Valkyria Chronicles III, is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation Portable. It is the third game in the Valkyria Chronicles series and was released on January 27, 2011 exclusively in Japan. An expanded version of the game, subtitled Extra Edition was released in Japan on November 23, 2011. The game features an opening song Moshimo Kimi ga Negau no Nara sung by Japanese singer May'n.
Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935. Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption. As described by its catchphrase, the game tells "The tale of nameless soldiers who, on the verge of despair, changed history."
The game was the first in the series to not officially be translated into English by Sega. However, an unofficial fan translation for the Extra Edition was eventually released in December 2013.Action Fantasy Warfare Drama
Dynasty Tactics 2The sequel to Dynasty Tactics gives the player more tactics to choose from, and introduces some new characters and features.
Like in the first game, the player assumes the role of 3 important leaders in ancient China: Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce. A new choice is the warrior Lu Bu. The characters have their own, unique story paths, which are affected by choices and outcomes occurring during the chapters the game is divided into. The player organizes and moves his officers and armies over the map while engaging others, trying to fulfill certain objectives during a turn limit.
For battles, the game switches from the map to a dedicated screen showing the battlefield. The battle system is a bit like chess: the player moves the units around the battlefield in a turn-based fashion, mostly trying to bring them in a position to pull off special tactics. Ideally, this results in effective combos, that may not only defeat enemy units, but also capture the leading officers, which may join the player (there are over 200 in the game).
Morale and terrain need to be taken into consideration as well. Units have different abilities depending on their type and position in the army, Engineers may build useful installments like supply depots for example. Army strategists can use the link command retained from the previous game for pinning down enemy units and helping to rack up higher combos, in addition, they may order chains now. These allow individual officers to perform multiple tactics (provided the conditions are met for each of them), but cost morale.
The game also contains a two player versus mode, which consists of random battles.Warfare
