shin megami tensei
Shin Megami Tensei (lit. "True Goddess Reincarnation") is a series of RPGs developed and published by Atlus. It is originally based on the Digital Devil Story series of books, and the Famicom games developed by Atlus (Megami Tensei and Megami Tensei II).
The series was originally based on Digital Devil Story, a science fiction novel series by Aya Nishitani. The games are usually standalone stories taking place in post-apocalyptic worlds with recurring themes of philosophy, religion, occultism, and science fiction.
Key elements of the gameplay include player-driven choices to place the protagonist in an ideological "alignment" (usually Law/Chaos/Neutral), and the recruitment and use of demons/creatures/deities/historical figures from various mythologies and folklore. Colloquially they are all just referred to as Demons.
For Danbooru purposes, this tag is exclusively for the mainline games, not Persona, Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga, or other spinoffs.
