Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei is the first of two games in the Megami Tensei series released for the Family Computer. It started the Megami Tensei franchise as we know it, though a related title of the same name was released for various computers some months earlier. The game's title refers to Yumiko Shirasagi's true identity as the reincarnation of the great goddess Izanami. An enhanced remake of this and Megami Tensei II was later released for the Super Famicom, titled Kyūyaku Megami Tensei. The original game was also later ported to mobile devices.

- The series was originally based on Digital Devil Story, a science fiction novel series by Aya Nishitani. The series takes its name from the first book's subtitle. Most Megami Tensei titles are stand-alone entries with their own stories and characters. Recurring elements include plot themes, a story shaped by player choices, and game mechanics, the most notable being the ability to fight using and often recruit creatures (Demons, Persona) to aid the player in battle. Elements of multiple philosophies and religions, occultism, cyberpunk and early science fiction have all been incorporated into the series at different times.

Most Megami Tensei titles are stand-alone entries with their own stories and characters. Recurring elements include plot themes, a story shaped by player choices, and game mechanics, the most notable being the ability to fight using and often recruit creatures (Demons, Persona) to aid the player in battle. Elements of multiple philosophies and religions, occultism, cyberpunk and early science fiction have all been incorporated into the series at different times. Most of the early titles have not been localized, originally due to heavy religious influences then taboo in western video games. While not maintaining as high a profile as series such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, it is highly popular in Japan and maintains a strong following in the west, finding critical and commercial success. Since the release of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne in 2003, the Shin Megami Tensei moniker has been attached to most entries in the west to help with marketing. The series has become well known for its artistic direction, challenging gameplay, and music. The series has equally raised controversy over its mature content, dark themes, and use of Christian religious imagery. Additional media includes manga adaptations, and anime films and TV series.
