Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei is a first-person dungeon crawler where you navigate through a plethora of dungeons with multiple floors battling enemies and obtaining experience points to level up the two main characters, Nakajima and Yumiko. The player is not provided a full map of the dungeons at the start but is required to map out the dungeons themselves by drawing them on a grid map - although the game does provide a limited view of each floor (3x5 squares respectively), which can be accessed by using Yumiko’s Mapper spell.

The player starts out in Micon City, located at the very top of the Deadalus Tower, and must then progress through various dungeons to obtain all the necessary items to defeat the evil god Lucifer and free the goddess Izanami from imprisonment. Along the way, the player will encounter various characters and items required to progress through the game, be it through interacting with certain NPCs or obtaining them after defeating a boss or solving a puzzle. Sometimes, multiple items need to be used to clear a dungeon or solve a certain puzzle. Besides those key items, the player can also obtain equipment such as weapons and armor, some of which can only be equipped by a specific character. Armor generally increases the character's defense, making them more resilient against attacks from enemies, whereas weapons change the power and amount of attacks a character may have. Another type of item the player can obtain is magical Jewels - items which can be used in demon negotiation or to fully heal a character, although in the mobile version using the Jewels also restores a character's MP and removes all status ailments except Death, as well as Amethysts – special gems which can be used to bribe demons in battle when using the “Run” command for a 100% escape chance, as well as traded for items from Rag’s Jewelry.
