A question for more knowledgable people!

[windandwater]

I know there are some Shin Megami Tensei fans on my flist, so this question is for you, since I have no idea what the game(s) are like.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor is coming out this week for the DS. I am interested in it, but don't want to waste my GameStop giftcard on a game I might not like playing or wouldn't be interested in. So, who out there has played the Shin Megami Tensei games? There's like... a whole bunch of them or something, right? What kind of a game is it? I read something about how it's like Pokemon, but with demons or something and I don't know if that's true or not.

Please help me! Or else I'll just save my giftcard for 358/2 Days.

The demons and the violence and the cannibalism is awesome, Atlus' brand of enforced grinding till you drop is not so much. They are good games in terms of plot and story, but ye gods, never have a played a game that has been more like a job than the DDS games.

:/

It's really grindy? I was reading reviews where they said this game isn't overly grindy, but I'm not sure how the battle system works and I've never played Pokemon.
