If I were to grade this based on my music score alone, it would be 100/10. Daredevil is easily my favorite music track introduced in Persona 5 Strikers (I'm listening to it right now as I write this review). In all seriousness, Persona 5 Strikers is a surprisingly good game. Due to its being a sequel and a hack-and-slash musou, I didn’t expect much from it coming in. I just wanted to spend some more time with the Phantom Thieves. Boy, was I floored. First, the story and character writing in this game are great. This game introduces two new main characters, Zenkichi Hasegawa and Sophia. Both of them have emotionally gripping arcs that fit seamlessly into the overall narrative. By the time I finished the game, both of them won my heart and ended up being some of my favorite characters in the Persona 5 universe. But this game also builds on the characterization of the core Phantom Thieves gang in a natural way that doesn't contradict their personalities from the main Persona5 game. As many others here have said, this game does a good job of giving some more screen time to previously underrated Phantom thieves in the main game like Ann, Yusuke, and Haru. We get to see more of Ann’s compassionate side that she demonstrated in the Kamoshida arc. We also see more of Yusuke’s development in his identity as an artist after the Madarame arc. As for Haru, we get more of her backstory. Overall, I’d give the story and character writing a 7.5/10. The only weaknesses were that some of the villains felt like retreads of the villains in the main story and, as such, didn't feel as compelling. Secondly, the music score, as I stated above, is amazing. An easy 10/10 for me. They remix a lot of Persona 5 tracks like Last Surprise or Rivers of the Desert and they end up being as good or even better than the original song. The jail themes range from good to amazing. Also, Daredevil (based on Life Will Change) is a treasure. Thirdly, the gameplay is engaging. Do not go into this game thinking you could play it like a typical musou - using your favorite characters and just mashing your keyboard or controllers and winning. This musou is a Persona game, and the game lets you know it. To beat bosses you have to exploit their weaknesses (bless, curse, wind, nuke, etc.) and dodge as well. Even on Normal, the gameplay is challenging especially in the first jail when you have a lack of resources. You will have to plan which characters to use in the jails, use them on specific bosses, and be conservative about using skills (SP). Hard mode and merciless (unlocked with NG+) require a lot of skill. The Velvet Room makes its return in Strikers. There are fewer Personas than in the main game, but the core gameplay of collecting personas and fusing them to create stronger personas is the same. Surprisingly, this game isn’t as punishing about you using the starter persona, Arsene, throughout the playthrough. Arsencanto learns skills even past level 90. However, using Arsene does become increasingly difficult throughout the playthrough, as it is difficult to level him and increase his stats. But if you love Arsene and want to use him, it is doable. I used Arsene during the final boss. The last thing I’ll discuss about the gameplay is that it has less content overall compared to the main games. There are no confidants or social links. There is a calendar system, but it only moves forward by advancing the main story. (This is a benefit because you can go in and out of jail without using any time). Notably, there is also a lack of romance or mentions of it. If you’re a diehard Makoto fan and romanced her in the main story, beware haha. What this game does offer is more areas to explore outside Tokyo. You travel all across Japan. I had a lot of fun Googling the places we visited in-game and comparing them to the photos of the places in real life. This game also has requests that take place in and out of the jails. Overall, I’d give the gameplay a 7.5/10. While I found the music aspect engaging, it does get repetitive. Also, the lack of content compared to Persona 5 does drag it down a little bit. In conclusion, Persona 5 Strikers is indeed a worthy sequel. Its music score, characterization, story, and Persona-fied musou gameplay all do its predecessor justice. Even if the game is a sequel of the original Persona5 and not Persona5 Royal, it is still well worth playing if you did Royal. While the game makes no mention of Yoshizawa or Maruki, their absence can be explained away in the story. From one Persona5 fan to another, if you couldn’t get enough of the Phantom Thieves in Persona5 or Royal, you will not regret getting this game as it will exceed your expectations as it did mine.

It is basically Persona meets Dynasty Warriors, the story is very similar to vanilla P5 so don't expect too much, but it is enjoyable. Fun combat on lower difficulties but be prepared for some brutality on higher difficulties. Even normal difficulty you can get destroyed in the first boss. The new characters are cool and the whole "trip around Japan" thing is neat. I don't know if I would necessarily recommend at 60 dollars, but I would recommend it overall.

If you like the musou game style but are looking for something with more narrative and mechanical substance, this is the game for you! If you want to spend more time with the persona 5 cast, this is the game for you! If you like the cozy hang out parts of RPGs just as much as the action, this is the game for you! If you only like turn based combat, this is not the game for you!

Persona 5 Strikers is an action RPG which continues the story of Persona 5 Royal, where the Phantom Thieves reunite to face a new threat involving a suspicious Artificial Intelligence mobile phone app, while taking a summer road trip to several Japanese cities. I’m still relatively new to the Persona franchise, having only previously played Royal earlier this year, although I plan to play more games developed by Atlus in the future. Gameplay (medium quality) • While Royal featured a typical JRPG style turn based combat system, Strikers uses a real time with pause system instead. You’ll choose a party of 4 characters and can take direct control of any character. Each member of the Phantom Thieves can perform magical attacks focused on a different type of elemental damage, and the gang’s leader Joker can switch between multiple personas, giving him access to every type of magic. • While exploring each dungeon in the metaverse (in Strikers they’re called “jails” instead of “palaces”, but they’re functionally the same), you’ll have to defeat shadows which take the form of various monsters, each having their own elemental strengths and weaknesses. You can run around the battle arenas using melee attacks to take out weaker enemies, but ideally you’ll want to use magic attacks to target stronger enemies’ weaknesses, making them vulnerable to powerful all out attacks. Most magic attacks can hit multiple enemies, and the action will pause while you select a spell and aim at the desired area. • I wouldn’t say the combat system is bad, but I personally didn’t really enjoy it. Royal’s turn based system was much better and more tactical. In Strikers, most fights feel really chaotic, with large numbers of enemies and lots of magical effects on screen, making it hard to see what is actually happening, so I felt like the only way I could consistently avoid enemy attacks was to frequently mash the dodge button between my own attacks. • SP management is also a constant problem. Because of the high volume of enemies, you can very easily burn through all of a character’s SP (used to activate magic attacks) in a couple of fights. Meanwhile, bosses have huge health bars, and mini-bosses seem to have infinitely respawning waves of minions. You’ll definitely need to buy as many SP restoring items as possible from shops. • Strikers has less side activities than Royal. Each city you visit is really just a couple of streets with a few shops, and no significant NPCs or side quests. Strikers’ equivalent of side quests mostly involve returning to previously completed jails to kill certain enemy types or collect junk items, to unlock new weapons and upgrades. On the plus side, at least it won’t take forever to complete this game (I mostly enjoyed Royal, but I eventually felt that it was a bit too long and bloated). Story (high quality) • Story is well written, although several of the jails and bosses have similar themes to those found in Royal. • The Phantom Thieves, including a couple of new allies, are interesting characters. • English voice acting is good for the whole cast. • I strongly recommend playing Royal first, because the story assumes the player is already familiar with who the Phantom Thieves are, how the multiverse works, and other events which took place during the previous game. Technical (high quality) • It took me 42 hours to complete the story. • I didn’t have any problems with bugs, crashes or framerate. • Controls worked well on my Xbox 360 gamepad. Recommendation Persona 5 Strikers is a good game, but because of its strong focus on story, I’d only recommend it to fans of Persona 5 Royal who want another adventure with the Phantom Thieves. As this is an older game, you should be able to pick it up for a big discount on a sale.

This game is currently in the Humble Choice for October 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before November 5th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle. It’s Persona Warriors. This game was made by the Persona team, as well as Omega Force, which is better known as Koei Tecmo’s team that does the Dynasty Warriors titles and pretty much all the Musou games, so what is this one? Well, it’s either a Persona game that has combat very similar to Musou titles with large battlefields and tons of enemies, or a Musou game with a lot of RPG elements and non Musou gameplay. Truthfully, I think the former is correct. This is a Persona game telling more Persona tier stories. You don’t choose a level, instead there’s an obscenely long opening, like every Persona game, and there’s a lot of time spent outside the dungeon. The dating system isn’t here, but this title is still heavily based on Persona 5. Which is also potentially a downside. You totally can start here if you want to skip the first game, but there’s a hundred hour game that comes before this that’s a typical JRPG. If you’ve played that and want to see more of those characters, then this exists. But there are, of course, spoilers, even just who is in the cast is likely a spoiler for Persona 5. Pick this up if you want another Persona 5 story, or you just want every Warrior game. I like Persona, but I have this because it’s Omega Force, and I’m very happy with that. It’s not a Dynasty Warriors game, in the same way Hyrule Warriors wasn’t a Dynasty Warriors game, it’s a merging of the two franchises, and that makes it something unique. Also, this is like a 40 hour title, so be prepared. This will take a long time, especially if you go through all the dialogue.
