Devil Summoner was a stylish action RPG that, like many other games in the SMT series, became a cult classic - and a collector's item. Much like Nocturne, the RPG that came before it, the first Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army now collects ridiculous prices online or at enthusiast shops. This sequel appears to be no different; shipping with a collectible plush toy, Devil Summoner 2 seems poised to become yet another gem for PS2 diehards to play on their battle-weary console."

The game was much more about the alternate history detective story at the core of its plot than it was about the more traditional mythological influences of the series, and although the combat system still focused rather strongly on exploiting elemental weaknesses, the fact that it was action-based rather than turn-based made the game feel quite different from the normal SMT title. Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abbadon brings the Devil Summoner sub-series a bit more into line with the overarching feel of the SMT series, but still retains most of what made the first game interesting. In short, Devil Summoner 2 is a solid improvement on the series."
