>>33574996In regular SMT games you actually walk on a map (generally a big city like Tokyo, Hell or others places) and many dungeons and npcs, the battle system is similar to Devil Survivor but only the close-up part, it's not a grid-tactical rpg.
There's no devil auction, you can get new demons talking to them during battle, they will ask you questions and/or items/money, you need to choose the right answers according to the specific demon, there's lots of fun dialogues around that.
