Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, known in Japan as Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final (Japanese: 真・女神転生IV FINAL?), is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus for the Nintendo 3DS. It is set in the same universe as Shin Megami Tensei IV and forms part of the Shin Megami Tensei series, the central series of the Megami Tensei franchise. It was released in Japan in February 2016, in North America in September 2016, and in Europe and Australia in December 2016.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse takes place in the 203X, within the same setting as Shin Megami Tensei IV. Twenty-five years after the Neutral route, a devastating war was waged between the angels and the armies of Lucifer. To protect Tokyo from damage, a great rock dome was created. While it protected Tokyo, resources became progressively scarcer over the following years, while angels and demons ruled over the human population. The protagonist, a teenager, is killed while on a demon hunt; He is contacted in the afterlife by the demon Dagda, who offers to restore the protagonist to life in exchange for becoming his "GodSlayer". When returned to life, he is manipulated by Dagda and Odin into freeing Krishna from a prison made by YHVH, who forms an alliance of various polytheistic deities called the Divine Powers, for the claimed purpose of saving humanity and opposing Merkabah and Lucifer. The storyline follows from the beginning of the previous game's Neutral route: main protagonist Flynn and his companion Isabeau have chosen to ally with the people of Tokyo, while Flynn's former companions Jonathan and Walter have respectively become the hosts for Merkabah, leader of God's angelic forces, and Lucifer, ruler of the demon hordes. The storyline does not follow the previous game's three-tiered moral alignment system. There are multiple endings, but none are explicitly Law or Chaos; instead, they are all Neutral to some degree.
