After the amazing SMT III: Nocturne, Strange Journey feels like a giant leap backwards both graphically and narrative-wise, coming off more like a rehash of the original SMT on SNES rather than a new game.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Dark, sinister atmosphere | Outdated visuals |
| Demons have a few thought provoking things to say | Tedious dungeons |
| Challenging but fair turn based game-play | Game-play is pretty much identical to previous SMT games |
| Narrative is almost identical to previous SMT games |
