[[Atlus]] is a videogame company that was founded in 1986. While not necessarily having the name-recognition of some larger companies, they have a huge number of quality products, both as a developer and a publisher, and often both at once. The Japanese HQ portion of the company is both a publisher and developer, the North American branch serves as a publisher and localization company that publishes more games than just what its parent company Atlus Japan develops and publishes; in the list of games below said games are listed with Atlus being the North American publisher.
 
For the record, a good number of their internally developed<ref>Games published by Atlus USA but not developed by its parent company may not have this trait</ref> 21st-century games are [[Nintendo Hard|freakin']] ''[[Nintendo Hard|hard]],'' though good design means they usually avoid [[Fake Difficulty]]. Their American branch is also famous for the translation of their games: [[Woolseyism]] and [[Superlative Dubbing]] abound in games they publish. Atlus is also famous for first exposing North America to [[Nippon Ichi Software]], having published ''[[Rhapsody a Musical Adventure|Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure]]'' back in the [[Play Station|Playstation 1 era]], and later the first ''[[Disgaea]]'' game for [[Play Station 2]]. This led to NIS eventually branching out on their own, and to this day the companies share many staff amongst their translation and dubbing teams, as well as an amicable business relationship. In fact, NIS are the ones publishing ''[[Persona Trinity Soul]]'', the anime based on the Atlus game.
 
Currently holds the dubious title of "[[That One Boss/Atlus|That One Company]]", due to their joy at [[Cold-Blooded Torture|making gamers suffer.]] And we [[Too Kinky to Torture|like it]], dammit. Funnily enough, even some games they merely published and not developed can be [[Nintendo Hard]], like ''[[Demons Souls|Demon's Souls]]'' and the ''[[Disgaea]]'' games.
