This branch of the Megami Tensei mega-franchise collects the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games and their Devil Summoner offshoots, the darker, more demon-focused cousins of Atlus's better-known Persona line. The role-playing entries here span decades, from Digital Devil Saga and the Soul Hackers titles to the modern Shin Megami Tensei IV and V, alongside a 1987 anime film adapting the series' origins.
The throughline is tone and theme: post-apocalyptic or occult settings, demon negotiation and fusion as core mechanics, and a recurring willingness to push players toward bleak moral choices about order, chaos and survival. It is overwhelmingly a games series, with that lone early film as a historical footnote.
The Shin Megami Tensei & Devil Summoner franchise spans 7 games, 1 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
