Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army is an action role-playing game and third game in the Devil Summoner franchise, which is part of the larger Megami Tensei series of video games. It differs from the two previous Devil Summoner titles in having real-time battles and a named protagonist and is first in the entire franchise to be set in the past – specifically the year 1931, the fictional twentieth year of the Taishō period of Japan, wherein it deals with historical figures such as Grigori Rasputin in addition to the MegaTen series' traditional use of real-world mythological figures. Though somewhat criticized for being the shortest of recent Shin Megami Tensei games, it generally received favorable responses from players and reviewers alike. It was published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2 in 2006. On April 1, 2014, the game was ported to the PlayStation 3 as a downloadable PlayStation Store title as a PS2 Classic. On July 30, 2008, it was announced that there would be a sequel titled Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon.
