About this game
Long time ago, a powerful demon was captured and sealed within a contraption that was called "Messiah Riser".
At present time, an evil empire is trying to find a key that would unlock Messiah Riser and unleash the power of the fiend.

Two children Jin and Akira, the heroes of DemiKids , called "The Devil Children" thanks to their unique ability to communicate with demons, decide to confront the empire and to stop their evil plan. "Messiah Riser" is a part of Devil Children games, which are a branch of Megaten game franchise, directed towards younger players.
Like in all Megaten games, the trademark of "Messiah Riser" is the ability to communicate with demons you fight and to make them help you in battles.
You can play the game as either Jin or Akira (the choice will influence the storyline).
The battles are now a mixture between turn-based and real time style: enemies will perform a move even if you wait and do nothing, so quick thinking is necessary for combat.
After an enemy is defeated, you can talk to it and try to persuade it to join your party.
Demons will then fight for you, controlled as playable characters.
Like in "mature" Megami Tensei games, you can fuse two demons to create a more powerful one.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2000.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
