While many players gravitate toward the heavy narrative weight of Atlus’ more famous titles, there is a certain purity to a game that strips away the fluff. While Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio are stellar, few can match the raw, focused intensity of Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance.

This month's Humble Choice is offering one of the best turn-based sicko RPGs of the century for an all-time low $15—plus you get 8 other games including Diablo 4.

Why Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is a Must-Play

If you are looking for a no-bullshit, turn-based creature-collecting JRPG with unrivalled vibes and minimal dialogue, this is it. Unlike other titles where you might find yourself occasionally pressing "X" during long cutscenes, SMT 5: Vengeance demands active engagement. You don't just watch the story unfold; you play through a tactical experience that rewards strategy over cinematic fluff.

The game features two distinct campaigns that, while not radically different, each provide dozens of hours of high-level combat. It was a standout title in 2024, and while it is fantastic on desktop, it would make an absolutely sublime Steam Deck experience.

Massive Value in This Month's Humble Choice

The real reason to jump on this deal is the sheer value proposition. While Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance usually retails for $60, you can secure it right now for just $15—the cost of a single month's subscription. This is nearly $6 cheaper than its current discounted price on Steam.

Beyond the heavy hitter, the bundle includes several other notable titles, including Diablo 4. While the code redeems on Battle.net and does not include the recent Lord of Hatred expansion, it remains a premier entry point for the franchise.

The full Humble Choice lineup includes:

  • Diablo 4
  • Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance
  • Crysis 3 Remastered
  • Heroes of Hammerwatch 2
  • Nordgold
  • Rogue Waters
  • Cubic Odyssey
  • Mini Settlers

While titles like Crysis 3 Remastered and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 are highly regarded, the price of the subscription is well worth it for the SMT title alone. As noted in a recent 91/100 review, this is nothing short of "an essential RPG."
