For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This is my second attempt to finish this game (the first one was back at launch on PS5). Since release they added some important QoL updates, but the core problems are still exactly the same. This time I only managed to push a bit further before dropping it again. The game was made by the team behind Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. Funny thing is, aside from QoL and the story, Soul Hackers 2 is worse than Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE in pretty much every way. And it’s not like the story in Soul Hackers 2 is actually good – it’s just less bad than the one in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. The main issue with Soul Hackers 2 is the low budget and the fact that the game doesn’t even try to hide it. The dungeons are absolutely awful and repetitive, and the Soul Matrix (the character story dungeon) is even more boring and samey. Progression feels weak, and the whole game feels stripped down compared to most other Megami Tensei titles. Honestly, it’s probably one of the weakest entries in the entire series.

This might be mid compared to the Persona Games, but damn if it's not a good mid. The story is good, the writing is great, and the gameplay is pretty much you would expect from ATLUS. Yeah, the Soul Matrix is long and boring at points, but they added the dash button so you can dash whenever you want, so it's not as bad anymore. Pick this up during a sale, you'll not regret this!

I love this game. Is it a masterpiece to be revered? H e l l no. It's a 7/10, with the most optimistic mindset. But it hits a ton of the right notes for me to like it: great soundtrack, solid story, distinct as heck visuals, and mindful (but not balls-hard) turn-based combat. It's a JRPG for JRPG fans of a very specific niche, but for that niche, it's really terrific. The DLC isn't really worth it, in case you're wondering. The story DLC is substantial story-wise, but not really necessary, and kind of a drag gameplay-wise.
Much inferior to its predecessor, overall it is a very mediocre game compared even to the old SMT games. With an ideal duration. It features interesting mechanics, although they are not well explored. Most of the characters are flashy but lack charisma. The combat mechanics are indeed good and simple. The game has a serious design flaw when it comes to presenting its mechanics to the player, which can result in players spending hours before discovering basic resources. The soundtrack is not bad but forgettable. The game's side content is poor, leaving the focus solely on the story. I certainly wouldn’t recommend it for two reasons: first, it’s much better to buy one of the last three Persona games, or SMT V, and if you have access, play SMT IV rather than this game. The second reason is the price, which is high for what the game delivers, even when on sale.
I love this game so much. It has such a great story, and despite its flaws, theres something about Soul Hackers 2 that will struck with me for the rest of my life. To be honest, I think SH2 is weaker than the original game from the series. When compared to other newgen Shin Megami Tensei titles the gameplay mechanics feel pretty basic. The gameplay mechanics feel like they havent really changed since the original SH release in 1997, or at least the DS port. However I think the simplicity makes it more challenging and fun. The Soul Matrix dungeons in particular can feel empty and lifeless, although I wonder if that was intentional. Considering the themes of the game, that emptiness almost feels appropriate. The UI isnt as impressive or stylish as what ive seen in some of Atlus newer games. It lacks the same level of polish and personality that games like Persona 5 or Metaphor Refantazio. What makes SH2 really special to me is its story and the themes it explores. The game deals heavily with life, death and human connections. And then theres Ringo (protagonist) and Figue. Shes easily one of my fav protagonists in the SMT series. Even though shes an AI, she actually feels like a real character with personality. Totally worth playing! Wish it was longer...
[h1] Soul Hackers 2 [/h1] [b] Desde un principio te lo digo, esto no es Persona 5, si buscabas algo parecido no lo encontraras, ya que incluso el sistema de combate es diferente, aquí no existe el "one more" y el sistema de vinculos es muy basico, asi que, si buscas un juego como Persona 5, este no es tu juego. [/b] Como tal Soul Hackers 2 es un Spin off de la saga [b] Shin Megami Tensei [/b], y secuela de su homonimo [b] Devil Sumoner Soul Hackers [/b] que tuvo un re lanzamiento para la nintendo 3Ds, es un rpg basado en turnos, con una historia envolvente en el que encarnamos a un ser artificial que recibe un cuerpo, por parte de una IA llamada Aion, la misión es simple, evitar el fin del mundo, para completar esta misión como jugadores debemos, encontrar a los otros protagonistas que son clave para evitar este destino. el juego, es básicamente un juego de recolección y fusión de demonios, con una historia que explora el las facetas de la identidad, el dolor, las diferencias, e incluso la muerte, ya que como tal nos muestran tambien desde 4 puntos de vista los riesgos, y pensamientos que hay entre miembros de distintas facciones de invocadores de demonios quienes se ven forzados a trabajar con el jugador, a pesar de ser de bandos opuestos. [h2] Observaciones [/h2] [h3] Historia [/h3] Probablemente el punto mas flojo que tiene este juego, la historia se siente que esta contada con rapidez, los personajes se conocen muy rápido, probablemente solo te tome 1 hora tener el equipo completo, y pues si te vas a encariñar con los personajes gracias a los eventos personales, que funcionan básicamente como los social links de la saga persona, pero son muy básicos, la cosa es que hay ciertos eventos que se sienten forzados nada mas por el mero hecho de que esta historia se desarrolla muy rápido, sin mencionar a que si eres fan de la saga Megaten, captaras muchos referencias, sin dudas, una carta de amor para fans veteranos. [h3] Gráficos [/h3] Soul Hackers 2, tiene unos gráficos 3d muy buenos, y agradables a la vista, se puede ver perfectamente en los modelos de los personajes y los demonios, una delicia de adaptación al 3d de cada uno de los demonios, las zonas explorables tienen muchos detalles, las luces de Neon de la ciudad muestran no solo los futurista que es sino el como la ciudad a pesar de estar limitada, se siente viva. [h3] Personajes [/h3] Carismáticos, aquí [b] Atlus [/b] rompió el molde del personaje silencioso, y nos entrego una protagonista con personalidad que sin dudas no te caerá mal, en lo personal creí que me caería mal por culpa de su diseño, ya que da esa sensación de personaje arrogante que mira a todos como cucarachas, pero vaya que me equivoque enormemente, sin mencionar que el trailer no ayuda tampoco, tenemos 5 personajes que conforman esta pandilla. [olist] [*][b] Ringo: [/b] [i] El personaje que manejamos en la historia, un ser artificial creado de la voluntad de [b] Aion [/b] , se deja querer, desborda carisma y sus opciones de dialogo son muy divertidas, lucha todo lo que puede por comprender a los humanos y entenderlos, su rol es la de líder con hambre de conocimiento, y también con una alta capacidad de comprender a sus compañeros [/i] [*][b] Figue: [/b] [i] La otra mitad de [b] Aion [/b] , creada al igual que Ringo, tiene un rol mas secundario como personaje de alerta, y personaje provee alimentos que entregan boosts temporales para las mazmorras, se deja querer, pero resulta molesta cuando adquiere la función de [b] Mimi [/b] al alertar de la presencia de enemigos o de objetos en el mapa, recomiendo el uso de este [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/soulhackers2/mods/19] mod [/url] para hacer que cierre el hocico en las exploraciones de mazmorras [/i] [*][b] Arrow: [/b] [i] Miembro de [b] Yataragasu [/b] , es un invocador con un sentido de la justicia definido, desea deteneer a sus rivales, aunque ello implique enfrentarse a gente de su pasado, esta en la organización del orden básicamente, funciona como aquel personaje que muestra la esperanza en un mundo un poco mas justo, también se hace querer [/i] [*][b] Milady: [/b] [i] La definición de Fenme Fetale, sexy con una actitud que va entre lo borde y lo amable, no te confundas no es Tsundere sino mas bien una chica ruda, forma parte de la [b] Sociedad fantasma [/b], que en el fondo quieren traer la destrucción del mundo, pero por ciertos detalles ella decide ir en contra de este plan a pesar de que tenia ese deseo de acabar con todo, también se deja querer, muestra el punto de vista de que el mundo solo mejorara si es destruido, pero que en el fondo cree en una posibilidad de salvación [/i] [*][b] Saizo: [/b] [i] El payaso del grupo, no esta afiliado a ninguna organización, básicamente un [b] freelancer [/b], que se vende al mejor postor, lo que lo lleva a hacer trabajos para ambos bandos, el simplemente quiere ayudar al que lo necesite, su punto de vista se basa en ver la vida como algo que no siempre trae cosas buenas, pero tampoco trae tantas cosas malas, cae bien y sirve como alivio cómico [/i] [/olist] [h3] Sistema de combate [/h3] Si estas familiarizado con [b] Persona [/b] y mas en concreto [b] Shin megami tensei [/b], te harás una idea de como es el sistema, basado en buffeos y nerfeos , y sobre todo explotar las debilidades del enemigo, aquí la única diferencia, es que no existe el [b] 1+ [/b] aquí no adquieres un turno extra por explotar debilidades, aquí lo que obtienes es el sabbat. [h3] Sistemas adicionales de combate[/h3] [list] [*][b] Sabbat: [/b] [i] El Sabbat es un contador de combo extra, en el que los demonios van quedando acumulados, ya sea estén equipados o no, para hacer un ataque en conjunto, entre mayor el combo, mas demonios se agregan a la lista, y mas daño hara ese ataque, consideralo como un ataque extra. [/i] [*][b] Habilidades de líder: [/b] [i] Estas son habilidades de soporte que no consumen turno y se puede ejecutar en cualquiera de los turnos de X personaje, aunque tienen un conteo de reposo, son cruciales a la hora de optimizar muy bien tus estrategias [/i] [/list] [h3] Dificultad [/h3] No posee una dificultad elevada, siendo incluso sencillo de pasar en difícil, la cosa es que se puede explotar mucho el Sabbat y las habilidades de líder, estas habilidades sobre el papel son buenas, pero en el fondo rompen el juego lo que lo vuelve todo un poco fácil, no digo que vaya a ser un paseo, ya que hay ciertos combates que son combates puzzle, o incluso situaciones en las que te apretaran, porque existe el tema de enemigos peligrosos, [b] que no son mas que demonios del mapa hormonados y con mucha seguridad te pueden bajar el equipo si no tienes cuidado, a esos les tengo mas miedo que al jefe final [/b]. [h3] Música [/h3] Las rolas están muy buenas, casi ninguna decepciona, la música va acorde al entorno, aunque el compositor no es el habitual de [b] SMT [/b], se lucieron mucho, sobre todo con el tema del jefe final y el mapa en el que este se encuentra uff, si pudiera casarme con una canción sin dudas lo haría con la del jefe final. [h3] Voces [/h3] Las voces están muy bien, van acorde a los personajes, esto aplica en japones, y en cambio en ingles, no me gustan las voces de Ringo y Arrow, en el caso de ambos, en ingles no captan la esencia de esos 2, por eso recomiendo las voces en [b] japones[/b] . [h3] Misiones [/h3] Solo puedo decir que no se harán pesadas, te ampliaran el lore y veras como son las cosas en el mundo de los invocadores, exceptuando las misiones del alma matrix, y las del edificio municipal, sin dudas de los peores diseños de Dungeons que he visto en mi vida. [h1] Conclusión [/h1] Soul Hackers es un buen rpg, con mecánicas muy buenas, pero no muy bien planteadas o balanceadas, con una historia apresurada, pero que aun así te atrapa, ideal para principiantes pero vuelvo y repito [b] esto no es Persona 5, si buscabas algo parecido no lo encontraras, así que no vayas a chillar [/b]
So crunchy... I found a lot here that I see myself missing in other Atlus RPGs. Although it doesn't stand out much, the condensed scope as a whole was quite refreshing. We need flashy, easygoing and shorter RPGs like we need air conditioning (I was stuck without AC for a week, don't squint).
Soul Hackers 2 is a difficult game to rank. It had a LOT and I mean A LOT of potential. When it came out I was pretty hyped though when I heard the reviews saying it was mediocre at best I waited until I finally played it. So with that in mind, I'm reviewing the most recent version of this game which unlike the on-release one, had a dash button and it wasn't a skill on Milady (Assassin Steps). This is a short but sweet game, I wasn't digging the Demon Co-Op-like system akin to Strange Journey (aka Sabbath) but in the end I ended up appreciating it which also proved I can never get tired of SMT combat, specially around that early mid game is where you really start getting into the groove of it. The biggest complaint is definitely the Soul Matrix level design, I think if this game ever gets a second shot they should definitely remake all of the matrixes so that they are more based on the characters they represent, maybe a fiery castle for Milady? Story wise I think the game was perfectly fine until a certain gal fell in love a little too quickly with a certain dashing rogue with poor motivations. The Figue we know throughout the game and the Figue the developers want you to believe in simply aren't the same character. I blame this pretty much on the game being extremely undercooked in all aspects, it needed at least 1-2 additional years of development and a more reinforced team, this is why Atlus during its golden years tended to hand spinoffs to other studios which I believe isn't what happened here. I like every other main character in the game, really just wish we got to spend more time with them. If this had the same budget Persona 5 had we would be calling it a classic. Regarding the concept of Soul Hacking itself, it kinda got reworked in this game but vision quests are still a thing, just wish it wasn't only reserved to the first 2-3 hours of the game and then it's only used 2 more times, one of them which is optional for the 'True Ending'. Speaking of endings, most people like the 'Normal Ending' more but unlike them I don't hate Figue with a passion. The way Ringo was acting towards her friends at the end of the 'Normal Ending' was completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unacceptable and I have to question who the ♥♥♥♥ wrote that. To end it, Atlus, please PLEASE I'm begging you, please, make more games in this setting. Your original IP *IS* the Devil Summoner series. Please I'm begging you I will even take a MMORPG, make a Devil Summoner game set in this futuristic Tokyo with all the tropes of SMT you can. I promise you it would sell like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hot cakes. I literally took one look at Hozumi and I went "OMG WHY CAN'T I PLAY AS THIS GUY". Its been 13 years since we have been able to play as a proper Devil Summoner with a COMP, you know when that was? SMT IV. Every other new mainline game after that (that wasn't a remake) we either get God Powers (like Apocalypse and SMT V) or its this game.
The Covenants are Chaos Emeralds, Iron Mask is Eggman, and Zenon is Chaos. Thanks SEGA. :l I'm a long-time Atlus fan, got into the franchise with Shin Megami Tensei 1 on SNES (It's still my favorite one), and have played every single piece of MegaTen IP since then. I love alot of it. Kyuuyaku (Megami Tensei 1+2), SMT1/2, IF, 3, 4, and 5, Persona 1(JAPANESE VERSION), 2IS/EP on PS1, Persona 4 being the only acceptable modern Persona game (that they'll probably mess up the vibes for in the remake), Last Bible Series (especially 3), Devil Summoner 1/Soul Hackers 1/Raidou 1 come to mind as games that have fantastic pacing, consistent setting that never really feels forced or shoved in your face, subtle theming that make you actually think about who you are, what you value, and most importantly, what you continue to fight/live for. Not to mention the music slaps in almost all of these games. And then there are games where I don't feel that as much. Persona 3/5 (very bloated story wise with alot of text that could've just not been there and the game would've played out either the same or better), SMT4A (the characters just being... weird for the sake of being weird? Looking at you, Toki... your only character trait can't just be that you wanna smash the MC), Strange Journey despite it having cool vibes, has writing like UUUUGGGHHH... I AM... DEFEATED... HAAAAAAAAAA... at the end. Yeah, no sh!t. I killed you, God. spent 80 hours grinding through hell for that? Yikes. Also please give me an ending where humans actually learn from their mistakes, at least for a long enough time, please. Soul Hackers 2 is sadly being added to the list of games I don't personally vibe with, or even like at all. The characters feel hollow, with no real motivations outside of their one personal goal, which by the way, is not good writing. The gameplay has to be some of the worst in all of MegaTen, with little room for strategy or planning. You can't even swap demons you have in your Demon Summoning Program mid-combat, which has been a feature since minute 1 of MegaTen existing. Member-berry demons (that are locked behind a paywall btw) are sadly not enough to keep me here. Mara has literally just been an excuse for the writers to put peni-related "humor" into the games since SMT4 anyway. (no, I don't think it's funny.) This game *should* be cool, but then you realize the Tokyo Mirage Sessions people wrote it. It all just comes off as sloppy and generic. Just make original IP anime or something at this point, Atlus. At least then I wouldn't have to give you 60-110 USD for dumb memes and flat characters I could get from literally any other story. Soul Hackers 2 isn't the worst game ever made, it's just boring, which in some cases is *worse* than being bad, because at least you can laugh at something that sucks. This is just not it.
