why is it that Devil Survivor doesn't get as much love as the other SMT games?

I feel the sequel coming out during Persona 4 hell and Atlus attempting to turn it into Persona lite was the problem. A lot of fans who liked the tone of the first game were turned off and the series died before it could even really start.

Also doesn't help that it's handheld.

hands down my favorite games in the SMT series. i usually don't see anyone be negative about them, i usually just see "yeah they were good, it's too bad they stopped making them"

Yeah, I hate 2's new protag, hate the story, and hate how the enemy looks. Didn't help that citra had some stutter playing it.

Is Overclocked better? I have a hacked 3DS and don't really want to play a DS game.

Because it's a fake SMT game.
First of all "SMT" in the title was added for the western release. But even disregarding that, it's a barely a megaten game in the first place. Atlus had just bought out a smaller company (the langrisser devs) and put them to work on a new game, but they clearly didn't really "get" what made SMT SMT.

I like both games but they aren't really that good.

cause the game doesn't offer interesting challenges and every single boss fight is just a shitty gimmick
there's also barely any variety and and endgame enemy teams are just the same 5 demons with passives/resistances that make spamming almighty attacks the only good "strategy"

basically yeah
DS1 tone was kino too advanced for its time, DS2 is yet another quirky teen power fantasy harem squad and made me drop it off entirely by the morning of day 2

Because Growlanser did it better. They were trying to hard to repurpose a Real Time Strategy game into a grid-based turn-based game for a different setting. WITHOUT Satoshi doing the character art.
Fans just want another Growlanser game.
