So I’ve been putting a lot more time into Devil Survivor as of late. Still on Day 3, but that’s because I’ve been spending a lot of my playtime cracking skills.
It’s an awesome system, and what I didn’t even think to do was have characters who can’t use the skill once it’s cracked go crack them. I may not be able to use them that battle, but then I can go switch the skill to a character who can afterwards. But it’s so simple. Before battle just select a character, select a skill to crack and then select the enemy to crack it from. If that player’s team kills that enemy, you have unlocked the skill. Now any of your human characters, but only one, can use the skill.
The level of customization I get from being able to chance skills at any time outside of battle and to have mini-goals of accumulating lots of skills really adds a “Gotta catch ‘em all” kind of addiction to the game. My only issue is that as of right now I only have four leader characters and it looks like you can only have four parties. I really wish the number was higher but I’ve got a feeling that won’t change.
