Press Turn System
CONCEPT
The Press Turn System is the combat system used in several Shin Megami Tensei games. It allows players and enemies alike to take advantage of opponents weaknesses and provides a unique and challenging take on the turn based battle.


The Press Turn System is relatively new to the gaming world by RPG standards, but takes bits and pieces from previous battle systems to create something much more cerebral, challenging, and fun. The main goal of the PTS is to defeat your opponents by exploiting their weakness while protecting your own. While it seems like old hat, there is much that the system does to differentiate itself. All of the games to feature the Press Turn System have used it in a slightly different way than the next and all forms have worked well thus far. As more and more SMT games are being released (along with spin-off franchises like Persona, Devil Summoner, and DDS) the system keeps coming along with them. Atlus has crafted a unique system that takes the familiar and tweaks it to make a more challenging and rewarding experience for experienced RPG veterans as well as a unique style that newcomers can come to enjoy just as easily.
