Shin Megami Tensei is one of Sega's longest-running RPG series. It debuted in 1992 on the Super Famicom, set in an apocalyptic Tokyo overrun by demons. The protagonists of the games can summon and use these demons as allies, fighting greater demons and gods, all while grappling with the conflicting values of order and chaos. It even has a TTRPG adaptation.
The series has its share of spin-offs. These include the Devil Survivor series, which features strategic grid-based tactical gameplay, and the party-based Digital Devil Saga.
Lastly, there is the Persona series. This series keeps certain gameplay elements but are narratively lighter experiences. Each entry focuses on a group of teenagers balancing mundane life with facing supernatural threats in alternate dimensions. It has become so popular it is less a spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei and more a sister series.
