Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, released outside of Japan as Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, is a 2004 role-playing game for the PlayStation 2, and the first entry in the Digital Devil Saga series. Unlike most megami tensei games, it features a more traditional linear JRPG narrative with cinematic 3D animated cutscenes, and a more traditional party without demon summoning or fusion. The main characters are the demons themselves and can switch between human and demonic forms. The game was the first Megaten game to have full voice acting including a full english dub.^{[citation needed]}

In the war torn Junkyard factions of emotionless soldiers are in constant wars for territorial dominance, until a meteor crashes spreading the Atma virus, granting the residents of the Junkyard a demonic form and an insatiable cannibalistic hunger, and awakening their emotions

The game attempted to make a more accessible Shin Megami Tensei game with a more traditional JRPG narrative while still maintaining the series' tone. It was notable for having full voice acting, which cost Atlus a lot of money.^{[citation needed]}
