    As a fan of Persona 4 and 5, i cannot recommend this. Yes, it is more of a Persona game than just a musou slasher, it has lovable characters, some sort of a plot and the same world we all love.

    The game has a clunky combat system (And I MEAN IT, i cannot enjoy the combat after Honkai Impact, a mobile game), mediocre camera, always-tight-and-cramped combat areas, non-intiuitive dodge system that cannot guarantee a dodge, unlikeable healing system. DMG-sponge minibosses that WILL hit you back because dodge is broken.

    What's happening on the screen looks like a mess. A magnitude of monsters on the screen, flashes and damage numbers everywhere... you cannot enjoy your characters or cool combat moves because you basically see anything.

    I do not like the way they handled "no time limit" design while trying to squeeze it into the old idea of having a calendar. Basically, you can visit the dungeon as many times in a row as you like. And you do not need to visit the shops or town activities because this time you buy stuff "online" and there's no social progression save for a generic "bond level" for the whole group that gives you skill points. So, my problem with the whole thing is it's ruining the world, your impression and your affection for the game. During the time you are playing through a dungeon, you leave it to replenish HPSP, you appear in the Cafe with the old man Sakura standing and looking at you, then you immediately go back, manage your inventory via a menu, go to a dungeon, fight, leave, replenish, go to a dungeon, back to cafe.... all in the same day. Completely ruins the Persona mood for me.

    And all the game is feeling like it's repetative and trying to waste your time. Yeah, you get "palaces" again, but this time with more of a free-roam. You get your main objective at point A but it's locked and you have to visit locations B,C,D to get some shining orb and fight a miniboss. But guess what, at objective D you need to unlock the last door by ... guess what? Pulling levers E,F,G in location D.

    At this point i got bored. If you like this kind of games - give it a shot.    … Expand

    PERSONA 5 STRIKERS after a year or so of waiting finally we got our hands on a persona that is not exclusive for ps4 and i can tell you i immediately bought it for the pc master race :D and i can say that the game is a blast to play in term of music and new spin on the gameplay but there are some problems

    cons: - the writing is very poor and everything is super predictable - the    PERSONA 5 STRIKERS after a year or so of waiting finally we got our hands on a persona that is not exclusive for ps4 and i can tell you i immediately bought it for the pc master race :D and i can say that the game is a blast to play in term of music and new spin on the gameplay but there are some problems

    cons:

    - the writing is very poor and everything is super predictable

    - the gameplay although fun lacks at some key moments

    - i don't know if that was a problem for everyone but the sp management in this game is terrible there are barely any sp potions and you run out of sp so quick and there is no rest options like in the vanilla persona 5 so you have to get to a checkpoint then exit the dungeon come back and only then you will have a full hp bar and sp bar which is a total bummer for me :/

    -the final boss was really meh

    - the real world was really lacking and there was barely any options of going around and talking with random people yes i know that its a spinoff but still everyone around feels like a dead puppet

    - some performance issues such as fps drops and one hard crash at the wonderland dungeon

    - the side quests were really forced boring and not that fun so after the third dungeon i just stopped doing them because it just felt like a chore at that point

    -the game is a bit short for persona standards took me 30 hours to finish it

    - there are moments where the game intentionally prolongs the gameplay with tedious fetch quest /main objective and it just felt as if they doing it because they ran out of ideas but needed to put more hours in the game

    pros:

    - the music holy h@ll the music i was having so much fun listening to it and was just such a delight and i think one of the best things in the game is the music

    - animations look a lot better everything just looks and goes super smooth

    - the new characters are super awesome and i really enjoyed the new addition to the cast

    - the dungeon design is just super beautiful and finally they have some depth to them

    in conclusion yea i know there are more cons than pros but still the game was super enjoyable and it is a spinoff game for all the non playstation exclusive gamers so of course it wont be as good as a normal persona game but for what it is PERSONA 5 STRIKERS is a cool game to play for over the top dynasty warriors gameplay but it does lack in the other departments so my final score to PERSONA 5 STRIKERS is a 7.5 out of 10    … Expand

    Spin-off de la saga de persona, pero que se queda un poco corto en comparación con el principal. La música, sigue siendo excelsa, la historia bueno, en su linea no es perfecta pero en el mismo rollo que persona 5, la duración muchísimo mejor en mi opinión, mas cortito, concreto.

    Los puntos donde creo que queda atrás es en mi opinión en el combate, la palabra que lo define es caótico, divertido, pero caótico, en ningún momento sientes tener el control de la situación como en un combate por turnos, y eso para mi, le resta puntos, por otro lado, se pierde algo clave en la saga persona que es, el apartado visual novel, que desaparece casi por completo quitando momentos muy puntuales.

    En conclusión un buen mushou, divertido, y que disfrutaras si sabes a lo que vas ya que pillaras referencias del persona 5 original.    … Expand

    การเปลี่ยนเกมเพลย์ถือว่าน่าสนใจและน่าตื่นเต้นในช่วงต้นเกม แต่ในช่วงท้ายเกมก็มีซ้ำซากจนน่าเบื่อไปบ้าง ด้านเนื้อเรื่องก็ถือว่าพยายามทำให้ต่อจากเนื้อเรื่องภาคหลัก แต่ก็ยังมีบางจุดที่ดูฝืนๆ ถึงจะไม่สนุกเท่าภาคหลัก แต่ก็ถือว่าเป็นภาคสปินออฟที่สนุกใช้ได้การเปลี่ยนเกมเพลย์ถือว่าน่าสนใจและน่าตื่นเต้นในช่วงต้นเกม แต่ในช่วงท้ายเกมก็มีซ้ำซากจนน่าเบื่อไปบ้าง ด้านเนื้อเรื่องก็ถือว่าพยายามทำให้ต่อจากเนื้อเรื่องภาคหลัก แต่ก็ยังมีบางจุดที่ดูฝืนๆ ถึงจะไม่สนุกเท่าภาคหลัก แต่ก็ถือว่าเป็นภาคสปินออฟที่สนุกใช้ได้

    Persona 5 Strikers is a good sequel to the original Persona 5. It kind of hurt me that they didn't develop this with P5R in mind, but that's a minor issue. The combat system is not the best, but it is interesting and it's kind of surprising how they merged the Persona style with a Musou game. I cannot rate it anything higher than a 7 because I can't say that there's something in the gamePersona 5 Strikers is a good sequel to the original Persona 5.

I cannot rate it anything higher than a 7 because I can't say that there's something in the game that has really stood out to me while playing it. Character development? Only 2-3 characters really showed some development, the OG squad didn't really change anything. Combat system? An 8 at best, it is standard. Story? Average, and it really requires you to have played the OG Persona 5, while being sold as another game. That means, another 60$ to Atlus. Maybe I could point out that the art style is as good as P5.

    Don't get me wrong, I think the game works for what it is, but giving it a 9 would be an insult for other games rated that high, and it would be rated lower if it didn't have that "Persona feel". I think that P5S would have worked better as an animated OVA or something similar.    … Expand

    All in all, a good second helping for fans of Persona 5. Still, Strikers is a step down compared to the brilliance of the original game.

    Persona 5 Strikers is a great Musou game, and even though for veterans of the series it might feel intimidating but it’s worth it for the plot. The game runs so well on PC but it does beg the question: why isn't Persona 5 on PC yet? It’s time to bring it to other consoles other then the PS4 so more players will get to experience the full story.

    It is hard to say this is a great Persona title. The combat is fun and punchy, the story cool and on point, and there are some attractive design sensibilities. Unfortunately, the overall experience doesn't feel as cohesive as it could. At its core there is a great Persona story and experience but the move to the new systems and Omega Force's take on the series highlights why it is that Persona needs its turn-based combat and carefully considered character narratives. This is an excellent title in its own right and probably Omega Force's best work yet. It's just lacking that special something that would make it a stellar Persona title. It might have worked better as an expansion to the original Persona 5 as the story is awesome.
