Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue: Difference between revisions

''Shin Megami Tensei: Synchrocity Prologue'' is a 2D Metroidvania game, where the player takes control of Jack Frost and Jack-o'-Lantern (when rescued), who can be swapped around by pressing the Character Switch button. Jack Frost moves normally with gravity being applied, shoots icicles, has a charge attack that can freeze enemies and resists against ice damage. Jack-o'-Lantern, however, has a Hover Power ability where he can fly and aim his fire attacks through all 8 directions, and reach higher places, but only if there is ground below him. He also resists fire damage. The party travels through many areas of Schwarzwelt, which is infested by many demons with varying resistances and weaknesses that can be exploited, and has many puzzles to solve and hidden items to be found, in which the game's ending is affected if all are collected. The stages also features terminals, that serve as the game's save points, and coming into contact with it regenerates the party's HP and MP much faster. And portals that teleports the party to other identified portals, with each one being in a respective stage (with the exception of the last stage, as there is no portal for there). Like previous ''[[Shin Megami Tensei (Series)|Shin Megami Tensei]]'' titles, it also incorporates the [[Moon Phase]] mechanic, where MP recovers faster during full moons.

The game was first shown off as a "hoax" in the Japanese trailer for ''Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux'' on October 13th, 2017<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LllPFcrGsP4</ref>, which received great positive feedback from viewers, wanting it to be a real game. Later on it was revealed to be a fully playable game, and released for free as part of the 25th anniversary of the ''[[Megami Tensei (Series)|Megami Tensei]]'' series, and as a marketing campaign for ''Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux''.

* The game was built from another game by Ladybug, [https://konosuba.fandom.com/wiki/Konosuba:_Revival_of_Beldia KonoSuba: Revival of Beldia], as they both share the same engine, contains many placeholder sprites and other similiarities to it.

* [[Yurlungur]] was also planned to appear as an enemy, as the game contains an unused icon sprite of his head. He was scrapped, but his sprite was reused for the yellow Yurlungurs at the end of [[Paradise]], closing the leap of faith before the final boss.
