About

Escape the Tower of Karma.

Okay, so if I want to actually live in this game, I need to become a Devil. That means going full-on aggressive – ripping enemies to shreds, just completely destroying them, and… eating them? Yeah, apparently devouring them is part of the deal. Sounds intense, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do to survive!

  • A highly strategic Press Turn System, inspired by and evolved from the turn-based battles of the Shin Megami Tensei series.
  • Learn combat skills freely through the Mantra System.
  • Equip acquired skills to your characters however you like.
  • Parts of the dungeon are procedurally generated.
  • An original story set in a post-apocalyptic world.
  • Includes an optional 3x EXP boost feature.
  • First released on Japanese mobile phones; features adapted for modern platforms.

Why are they here? What stole their memories?

Climb higher. Face the trials. Uncover the truth.

Will Serph and his companions make it out of the Tower of Karma alive…?

Series Overview

This game is a unique installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga series. It was originally released only for Japanese flip phones – a type of mobile phone common before smartphones became popular.

Digital Devil Saga centers around the Embryon, a tribe locked in conflict with five others within a digital realm known as the Junkyard.

Story

The story unfolds in a sealed, colossal tower known as the Tower of Karma.

Serph wakes up with no memory of who he is. He soon meets Sera, a girl with a unique song that can calm the raging power of the Devil, and together they begin a journey to ascend the tower.

They’re working together to figure out why they’re stuck and what happened to cause Serph to forget everything.

Key Features

  • Progress through the game with a party of up to three characters, including the protagonist.
  • The battle system carries over the original’s strategic Press Turn Battles, where the number of actions you get changes based on the types of attacks you land.
  • The Mantra system—a program for learning combat skills—has been revamped from the original’s swappable flowchart style into a fusion system that lets you combine Mantras.
  • Enjoy character growth and party-building options that differ from the console versions.
  • The Tower of Karma, your dungeon, features partially procedurally generated floors—some layers are generated uniquely for each player.
