It also gives her a very fun amount of range and cool-looking combos. She also has glowing blue energy yo-yos because why the heck not. Her Persona is a series of four coffin-like boxes that can become a shield, a melee weapon or a projectile at a moment’s notice. It is also shortly after you meet her that you find out that she’s as much about kicking ass as she is being adorable.Įverything about Sophia is fun. Very early in the game, you encounter a bizarre woman with a strange way of speaking. Beyond a host of new villains and an Akechi equivalent detective that gives you a bizarre perspective into how an adult would deal with being a Phantom Thief, the game introduces the complete joy that is Sophia (code name: Sophie). You can even manage Joker’s Personas, switching them mid-battle and finding enemy weaknesses to trigger all-out attacks capable of wiping out a massive patch of enemies. Everything you enjoyed from Persona 5 is here. When you’re not in the Palaces (or the battle stages), you’re running around cities talking to people, exploring, visiting shops and just hanging out and having coffee. I mean, check out this video I took of the menu. In fact, in some areas, there may actually be even more polish. It is a Persona game through and through. Luckily, this is absolutely NOT the case in Persona 5 Strikers. In crossover games like Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors the stories got reduced to short cutscenes that occurred in mid-battle. When I first heard about this, I was honestly really worried that the story itself was going to get watered down. You take on groups so enemies instead of the traditional instead of turn-based combat. Persona 5 Strikers is an action roleplaying game with combat inspired by Dynasty Warriors. So the gang’s vacation is cut painfully short as they must now use their road trip to travel the country and solve this bizarre mystery before they’re all arrested.īut traveling across the country instead of moving around a single set of cities isn’t the biggest change here. Of course, there’s only one group of people the special forces know of that can do this, the Phantom Thieves. Unfortunately, about the same time, bizarre behavior has happened all over the place with people acting insane, stripping down and running around naked, becoming obsessed over others, or just confessing to crimes at the most bizarre moments, all around Japan. Joker has returned to Leblanc for summer vacation and the gang has decided to go on a road trip. This game was in the works well before Royal but maybe/hopefully there will be DLC.Īnywho, a year has passed since the events of P5 and the group is a little older, a little more mature and, in the case of Yasuke, somehow hungrier than ever. Not Persona 5 Royal though, so don’t go into this hoping to run into Kasumis or Marukis. Personally, and for the sake of this review, I went with the Switch version because I could not resist the siren’s call of a Persona game on the go as PSP and Vita versions of older Persona games were superior (change my mind).įor those in the dark about this game, Persona 5 Strikers is a game that takes place a year after the events of Persona 5. Persona 5 Strikers is finally out on Switch, PS4 and PC. Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), PlayStation 4, PC
