New Demons
Raidou Remastered has a total of 120 Demons waiting for you. 50 new demons have been added from other Shin Megami Tensei titles, such as Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon and SMT V: Vengeance. Raidou can use these demons during battle and on the field to fight and solve puzzles.
Character progression
Raidou Remastered features several new gameplay improvements over the original PS2 release. Here are a few details that ATLUS has shared:
Summoner Skills
Raidou can learn new skills called Summoner Skills. There are 2 types of skills: Combat, which increases your combat ability during battle, and Sword, which takes effect automatically when equipped. These provide you with a variety of abilities, such as powerful attacks, increasing Raidou's resilience, and more.
Allied Demon Skills
Allied Demons can learn two Special abilities: Combat Skills that can be used effectively during battle, and Passive Skills that take effect automatically when equipped. Allied Demons can gain these skills by leveling them up or by Demon Fusion.
You can also use Skill Books on your allied demons to teach them new spells and abilities.
Loyalty
Raidou Remastered has a new Loyalty feature that determines a Demon's trust in you. You can increase this by allowing them to fight alongside you, taking them to the field, and so on. Once you reach the maximum loyalty for a Demon, they can learn a Passive Skill, give materials needed for Sword Alchemy, and other useful items.
The cumulative Loyalty across all your demons will also determine your rank as a Devil Summoner.
