===Shin Megami Tensei IV===
The fourth main series entry in the SMT, released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013. It's the first "duology" title for the SMT line, with two games where one is a direct sequel to other, and this connection is indicated by their sharing the same numeral with different suffixes, something last seen way back in Persona 2.

The original SMT4 abandons the post-apocalyptic and cyberpunk elements of the previous SMT games for a more fantasy angle... at least, that's how it seems at the start of the game.

You are born into the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, one of the commoners of the Casualry caste, who serve the elite Luxurors. However, you escape this fate by being chosen to undertake the Gauntlet Rite; success results in your being granted the title of [[Samurai]], an elite warrior charged with protecting Mikado from the demons of the subterranean netherrealm of Naraku. 

Naturally, things aren't that simple...

2016 saw the release of the sequel, ''Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse''. Set in 2038, 25 years after an apocalyptic war between gods and men ruined the world, you play a 15-year-old "Hunter" named Nanashi, who lives in the ruins of Tokyo. In the last days of the war, the city was covered by a massive stone barrier, and has devoloved into a sunless shadow land where humans kill each other for what little remains and both angels and demons rule as the apex predators.

As the game starts, Nanashi is killed by a demon, only to be revived by a fallen deity named Dagda, who demands in return that Nanashi become his "Godslayer" - a living weapon with which to defeat the forces of Lucifer, Merkabah, and Krishna's Old Gods before they annihilate what's left of humanity.
