It is different from the other titles in the series, as D2 was to d1. It took some time getting used to the new fighting mechanics, but after that i had a amazing experience. I will play it again on the hardest difficulty and i'm hoping for part 4 in the near future.
D1 > D3 >= D2

I didn't like the gameplay, but the story and characters made the game worthwhile.

The game mechanics would be fun, if the camera would not be so bad. What remains is a cringeworthy story with unbearable dialogues.
