Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army
Updated: 12/11/2025, 5:08:47 PM Wikipedia source
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army is a 2006 action role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. The game is the third in the Devil Summoner series, which is a sub-series of the larger Megami Tensei franchise. It was published by Koei in Europe and THQ in Australia. The game differs from the two previous Devil Summoner titles in having real-time battles and a named protagonist, and is first in the entire franchise to be set in the past – specifically the year 1931, the fictional twentieth year of the Taishō period of Japan. The story deals with historical figures such as Grigori Rasputin in addition to the Shin Megami Tensei series' traditional use of real-world mythological figures. The game received positive reviews from critics, though its short length received criticism. In April 2014, the game was re-released on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3. A sequel, Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, was released in 2008. A remaster, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, was released by Sega in 2025.
