List of Megami Tensei media

The Megami Tensei video game series began with the 1987 game Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei, which was published by Namco for the home video game console Famicom,^[3] and was based on Aya Nishitani's novel of the same name.^[4] It received a sequel in 1990,^[5] after which a number of sub-series were created; the Shin Megami Tensei sub-series, along with the original Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei titles, form the core of the Megami Tensei series, while others, such as the Devil Summoner and Persona series, as well as the Fire Emblem crossover Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, are spin-offs.^[6][7] Some spin-offs belong to other genres than role-playing, such as the fighting game Persona 4 Arena,^[8] the action game Jack Bros.,^[9] and the strategy game Majin Tensei.^[10] Most entries in the series are unrelated to one another, but carry over common thematic elements and gameplay mechanics,^[6][7] such as a contemporary urban setting,^[11] occult themes, demon-summoning^[2] and recruitment, and the ability to fuse two or more demons together to create more powerful demons.^[12]
