How Soul Hackers 2's Soul Levels Compare to Persona's Social Links and Confidants
Soul Hackers 2, the latest role-playing game in developer Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei franchise, offers a mix of classic elements from other Atlus games and brand-new innovations and gameplay modes. Although technically a sequel to the 1997 title Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Soul Hackers 2 features a new setting, new characters, and an entirely new form of the titular Soul Hacking. Instead of hacking into the Internet, protagonist Ringo «hacks» with her party members to connects their minds and souls. Through their bound souls, Ringo can raise her Soul Level with each party member — an element which critics have both compared and contrasted to the Confidants and Social Links present in the Persona series.
