There are lots of demons. From the fantastically phallic Mara, to everyone's favourite pal Jack Frost, Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 is just bursting at the seams with demonic presence.

And what better to do with the demonic force than to capture it, shove it in a mobile phone AR app of some description, and then summon those beasts to do your bidding? This is the true power of the underworld kids, and it's great.

Drinking from the fountain of demonic power I have gleaned knowledge, truth, and here I am to share that knowledge with all of you. Reject all that you know, for Satan is a demon, and you can totally make him do what you want. It's cool.

Fusion

Fusion is one the main ways that you'll be getting new demons in Shin Megami Tensei Dx2 Liberation. Man, that's a mouthful of a title.

You will likely already be aware of the fact that you can chat to demons and convince them to come over to your side, but what do you do when you've got several demons of the same kind already?

Well, no point in keeping loads unless they're particularly powerful, which is exactly why the fusion system is here, just like in other SMT and Persona games. Simply pick two (or later, more) demons to throw into the fusion, and you'll likely get a much more powerful demon out the other side. Simples!

Fresh summons

If you're not a smooth talker and demons keep turning you down like every woman I've ever spoken to, then you're in luck - money can save you where your lack of personality and wit failed.

That's real money by the way, not Macca. Yes that's right, premium currency my friends, earn enough of it and you'll be summoning some fresh demons for your party.

Of course, you can earn that currency in game if you work hard enough, and you won't have to sacrifice your real life wallet quite yet.

Feeling out weakness

Weakness must be purged. Or, at least, poked at a bit until we properly understand how to protect against it. I'm not sure where I'm taking this, but being aware of weaknesses and resistances in SMT is very important.

You should already know that in battle, you'll see what your enemy demons are weak and strong against on the right side of the screen, and you can fill in the blanks in your knowledge by trying out moves of new elemental affinities on that enemy type.

But if that's too much hassle, you could always just get the demon for yourself, which will give you full information on what kind of demon it is, and what kind of attacks you'll want to use against that demon in the future.

Cheeky blighters

When chatting with demons you might notice that they're not actually the most friendly types, throwing around casual homicide and cannibalism just for the sake of it.

So yeah you shouldn't expect them to be overly friendly when you meet them, but that also factors into how you should be acting around them.

Scowling at a demon might not sound like a good strategy, but doing so may well help them recognise you as one of their own. The same goes for being a bit cheeky - they might like your pluck.

Enhance, power up

Your demons haven't reached their full potential quite yet, so don't stop pushing them! Even if you've got a bunch of strong demons, there's no need to settle for second best.

Head over to your local Shrine Maiden, and the lovely lassie will allow you to combine your demons with rare items and other demons in order to make them more powerful.

Of course starting out with a strong demon is preferable, but if you've got one which could be a bit better, well, might as well power the bugger up and get ready for battle.
