Soul Hackers 2 1.02 update adds new demons and speedy mechanics

Speed Demons

Atlus has released a for its stylish Shin Megami Tensei spin-off, Soul Hackers 2 — Now available to download on all platforms, the new patch adds four new demons to the mix, and includes several new abilities to help 💟slim down that all-consuming time-grind.

The new “Dash” toggle will although players to control Ringo at a much-accelerated rate, helping her to negotiate the monster-infested labyrinths with speed, and even performing her standard “slash” in double-quick time. This new speed increase can also be applied to battles themselves, with a “Speed Up” toggle allowing for quick and easy carvings in face-to-face encounters. Hopefully, these two new additions will make grinding for XP less of a chore.

Four new demons have been added to the Soul Hackers 2 roster via this new update. The demons are the fiery Aitvaras, the stoic priestess Isis, the frankly bizarre Neko Shotgun, and the hyper-iconic Pixie — depicted in her original Devil Summoner form. It should be noted that acquiring these new demons does not count toward the in-game Regist💜ration Percentage of the Demon Compendium, nor its associated achievements or tro🅷phies.

Finally, a small run of tweaks and bug fixes should improve loading times across the board, while other changes streamline the shop experience, and include new preventative measures to stop button mashers from accidentally selecting the wrong options while plowing through the game’s many menu screens. Huh, an update that asks you to take your time AND speed up.

Soul Hackers 2 is avail🐟able now on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platfor🌜ms.
