Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Gets First Big Discount

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance just launched last month, but it’s already received a steep discount as part of the sale festivities surrounding Amazon Prime Day 2024. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, your patience has been rewarded. Vengeance is up for grabs for only $40 (was $60) at multiple major retailers, including Amazon, GameStop, and Target. We’d expect this deal to be popular, especially since the launch edition, which comes with a steelbook case, is included while supplies last.

At the moment, only the Xbox version of Vengeance is included in Amazon’s promotion. At Target, the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 editions are eligible for the discount. If you shop at GameStop, you can pick from any of the three console platforms for this deal.

Vengeance offers far more than the average “definitive” edition. A little ways into the story, you are given a choice whether to continue on through the original storyline or head down an entirely different path dubbed Canon of Vengeance. Though it varies by player, Vengeance adds roughly 75 hours of new content to the SMT V experience. And if you’ve never played it before, you’re essentially getting two games in one package.

Shin Megami Tensei V was originally a Nintendo Switch exclusive, but Vengeance brought the turn-based RPG to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It earned a 9/10 in our Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance review.

“Everything that made Shin Megami Tensei V such a memorable and engaging experience remains in Vengeance, just tweaked and massaged into an even better game,” critic Heidi Kemps wrote. “It’s easier to connect to the narrative–having the other human characters in your party and engaging in small talk with them go a long way to making the events happening around them feel more impactful–and the various adjustments to navigation, combat, and demon-herding let you focus more on savoring the dark atmosphere and the strategies of battle. If you didn’t enter the tunnel to the underworld the first time around, this is the perfect opportunity to do so–and if you’re a veteran of the war for the throne, there’s plenty here to bring you back.”

Vengeance isn’t the only role-playing game deal that’s worth checking out ahead of Prime Day 2024:
