ATLUS has shared new details and images about the characters, demons, and progression systems of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. The supernatural RPG from ATLUS will feature over 120 demons, including several new creatures from Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. More information was also revealed about Kenzo Satake, Sadakichi, Kiyoshi Daidouji, Hell's Pawns, and Red Cape, as well as each character's role in the game.
Kenzo Satake is the young captain of the Kanto Haguro Family, a yakuza group. He is well-liked not only by his men but also by the citizens for his contributions to the safety of the neighborhood. Sadakichi is an Army private who is being pursued as a deserter. He doubts the "Super Soldier Project" being secretly carried out within the army under Munakata's leadership, so he deserts the army. Meanwhile, Kiyoshi Daidouji is the younger brother of the current head of the Daidouji family and the uncle of Kaya. He runs Daidouji Textiles but has fallen behind in terms of mechanization and is on the verge of bankruptcy, needing a large amount of capital.
In the remaster, Raidou has a new mechanic called Summoner Skills. Raidou can learn new Summoner Skills from weapons. There are 2 types of skills, Combat Skills, which boost your fighting chops during battle, and Sword Skills, which take effect automatically when equipped. These skills provide various perks, such as a powerful strike, increasing Raidou's resilience, and more. Players must equip the appropriate skills according to their opponents, and switching the Combat Skills set on the fly is possible during battle. Summoner Skills can be leveled up through Sword Alchemy, the game's crafting system.
On the demons' side, allied demons can learn two Special Skills. One of them is Combat Skills, which, as mentioned, are used in battle. The other is Passive Skills, which kick in automatically when equipped. Allied demons can gain these skills through grinding, as well as through demon fusions. There are some skill books to teach specific skills to your demons. Demons can master these skills by using the same skill book multiple times, and demons can also inherit these skills through demon fusions.
