Gameplay
Devil Children: Book of Light' features the same style of gameplay as is featured in earlier Devil Children games. The game world is navigated in a 3rd person perspective, however battle is handled in first person, similar to the earlier Shin Megami Tensei. Unlike most Megami Tensei games, the moon phase mechanic is not used. The game's fusion mechanics are also simplified to make the game more accessible to a younger audience. For example, the resulting demon is always the same type demon as it's predecessor, and level alters the resulting demon, instead of combinations between demon types.

Some demons are only version specific and are available in the Devil Children: Book of Dark. Players can use a link cable to trade and battle against each other. In comparison to the Book of Dark, the Book of Light features less challenging gameplay and rather simplified mechanics.
