    P5S is a sequel to an amazing game. I got into the game not knowing what to expect (persona 5 original) and fell in love with all aspects of it: the music, the story, the gameplay the grown up Pokémon style. Persona 5 Strikers is a follow up to an insanely successful game, so far the story is great and I’m looking forward to finishing it, the gameplay for me is less great in comparison toP5S is a sequel to an amazing game.

My advice to anyone willing to get P5S: PLAY PERSONA 5 FIRST! if you like it and fall in love with it the way I did then definitely get Persona 5 Strikers Expand

    A timeless masterpiece like Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.
    The combat is reminiscent of beats 'em all, but also involves magic superpowers (Your personas basically).
    One thing this game did right compared to the original was how it lets the player handles resources, it is very VERY generous, SPs are not necessary unlike P5 and P5R since all your characters can fight without them or hell

    Unlike P5 and P5R, this game is generally pure skill with no luck involved.

    Simple, if you enjoyed P5 or P5R, this is a game for you, if not, then don't even try. A very fun game, with fun combat that meets expectations.

    Persona 5 Strikers has set the bar very high for me in 2021 Video Games. This full fledged sequel to Persona 5 is essentially that, Persona 5-2. Not a fighting game with visual novel storytelling, not dancing with conversations, and certainly not chibi maze-crawling - This game is a direct sequel to Persona 5 taking place only a few months after the original game ends (and is not a Musou,Persona 5 Strikers has set the bar very high for me in 2021 Video Games. This full fledged sequel to Persona 5 is essentially that, Persona 5-2. Not a fighting game with visual novel storytelling, not dancing with conversations, and certainly not chibi maze-crawling - This game is a direct sequel to Persona 5 taking place only a few months after the original game ends (and is not a Musou, for the record). In this game the Phantom Thieves reunite to do what they do best: Enter the metaverse, find the targets, and change their hearts. The tone for this game is no different than where we left off last time which really shows how closely Atlus and Koei worked together to make a new plot, new settings, and AMAZING new characters all come together to deliver an incredible story.

    Gameplay wise, this game continues to be perfection. Koei Tecmo are masters of hack and slash combat, and playing as the Phantom Thieves in this style never felt better. Every character plays in the same ways they move while fighting in Persona 5, from weapon and attack movements all the way to animating their showtimes & all out attacks. Even the quotes they say (ex. Ann's "Now, I'm pissed!" when standing back up) have been perfectly preserved. You really feel like a switch was flipped from turn based to action, and the transition is complete perfection. This game even includes a Velvet Room, Shopping (which your money matters now more than ever), and a Request system that while different from the original in many ways still feels the same. And now they've adding cooking!

    I can't express enough just how much of a pure JOY this game is. It's so wonderful to reunite with the Phantom Thieves for a new adventure, make delightful new friends that have become some of my favorite characters, and go on a fun trip with the same gang you know and love. There are so many moments that are laugh out loud funny and it's hard not to keep a smile on your face the entire time. The music has been wonderfully remixed, and yes, the band returns for some epic new tracks making the soundtrack additions to the franchise fantastic ones. Add on extra bosses, post game content, and more side quests than you know what to do with and before you know it you may spend just as long playing this game as the original Persona 5. I have nothing but praise to offer this game without a single demerit. If you loved Persona 5 then do not put this game on the back-burner. This is a wonderful continuation of the story we love providing excellent new characters who are just as deep and meaningful as the original cast. To me, this game is no less perfect than the original or Royal.

    It's awesome to be back to this world were exists the phantom thieves of hearts, I love how they got more friendly moments for this beautiful team, it's stills stylish from clothes to soundtracks, as for the gameplay it still amazing although p5 was turned based, but it is an amazing game for those who love joker and his friends.

    It’s a fantastic game; the soundtrack is impeccable and the gameplay is pretty fun. I think it’s a 10/10 game as far as I’m concerned but it could’ve been 11/10 with confidants. The story is phenomenal either way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a fan of Warriors-style gameplay, yet this is by a long way the best Warriors type game I've ever played. The general story rivals that of Persona 5, the animation on showtimes in battle or the way the characters fought was superb, and I would argue that each member of the Phantom Thieves is at their peak personality-wise here.

    I enjoy P5 strikers. The gameplay and the boss fights. Maybe i want Multiplayer, but i undestand why not. Great Persona game, maybe 30 pr 40 hours and New Game +. A lot of Personas and Fusions. Waiting for more content like this.

    First off if I had to give this an objective score, I’d probably go with an 8 or 9 but due to some of the totally ridiculous low score reviews I felt the need to bump up my score.

Let me first begin by saying, if you are expecting a directly sequel to Persona 5/ Persona 5 Royal, this isn’t that nor did it ever claim to be. I’m not sure where these people got the idea it was a direct sequel, but a simple google search would tell you it’s a spin off. The game has been out for months in Japan so there really shouldn’t be any surprises in terms of what the game is/isn’t. Now for the game itself, I think it’s a fantastic spinoff from the mainline persona games. I am a huge fan of the “Musou” style action games and this is the most interesting one I’ve played in a long time. It feels like a persona game with encounters like a Musou game. It’s very similar to an older project series by Atlus games, Raidou, but way better executed. The story is very good for what it is and builds off of the story from P5. The biggest criticisms I can make are that the persona compendium isn’t as vast and there is really only 1 small part of the game that at all resembles a social link from the main persona series. However, because this is a spin-off and not a sequel the game still works without that. If you like action style RPGs, are a fan of Persona 5, or just want a new interesting take on Musou games I highly recommend this. Expand

    Omega Force’s crossover between Persona and the Warriors series is a breath of fresh air for both franchises. It’s not a revelation by any means and not a great sequel to Persona 5 in terms of the story, but despite rather uninteresting content in between missions and the scantiness of additional activities, it’s a good, varied game that’s simply enjoyable.

    Regardless of the issues I had, Persona 5 Strikers is still a fantastic sequel, Persona game, and Musou game. It really is impressive the amount of content they jammed into this game, and the fact that they added way more to the mechanics than I thought they would was a great breath of fresh air. Musou fans will get a ton of enjoyment out of this title and fans of Persona 5 have their sequel that is most certainly worthy of the title.

    Sadly, Persona 5 Strikers has some value only for the fans of original Persona 5. For others it will prove to be an odd mix of a dull visual novel with a pretty average musou game. [Issue#252, p.56]
