Play Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Children - Hikari no Sho (J)(Cezar) Online – Game Boy Advance (GBA) Game

Game Overview

Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Children: Hikari no Sho (or Book of Light) is a hidden gem for the Game Boy Advance that takes the dark, monster-collecting thrills of the Shin Megami Tensei series and gives it a kid-friendly twist—without losing that signature edge. You play as a young hero who can recruit and fuse demons (here called "Devil Children") to battle through a world teetering between light and darkness. Think Pokémon, but with a grittier vibe and way more moral ambiguity—your choices actually shape the story!

What makes Hikari no Sho stand out is its streamlined yet deep turn-based combat and the addictive demon-collecting system, packed with creatures from global mythologies. It’s got that classic early-2000s GBA charm, with colorful sprites and a surprisingly engaging story for a "kids’" RPG. If you missed this one back in the day, it’s a nostalgic trip worth taking—especially if you love SMT’s darker themes but want something a little more approachable.
