    medicore story, characters, music and game play.

    structure is similar to trail series. combat is similar to Ys series.

    Ok to play but you will find nothing particularly good.

    Tokyo Xanadu feels like a mixture of the Trails series mixed with Ys battle system. You can spend time with friends to raise your relationship with them, read books and answer questions for wisdom, complete difficult dungeons with high grades to raise bravery, and complete side quests to raise kindness. These kind of reminded me of Persona's gameplay a little and I really enjoyed it.Tokyo Xanadu feels like a mixture of the Trails series mixed with Ys battle system.

    The only down sides are only one character can fight at a time so you have to constantly switch characters during battle to hit enemy weaknesses or use different attack types and they all share the same energy bar as well as control the same way. It feels like the game only needed one character but uses multiple characters instead. That isn't bad though it just felt unnecessary. I think the weapon type should also matter instead of just their element. The eclipse has different styles but they always stay the same so grinding means going through repetitive hallways and monsters that you have played before.    … Expand

    Schön gemachtes Japan RPG im Persona Stil, das mit charmanten Charakteren, guten Dialogen, netten Dungeons und an die Ys Serie angelehnten Echtzeit Kämpfen zu überzeugen weiß.

In keiner Disziplin erreicht es die Qualität eines Persona 5, was deutlich die Referenz dieses Spiels zu sein scheint, dennoch passt bei den spaßigen Kämpfen, den vielen Dungeons, den immer wieder neune Charakteren und Plot Twists bereits sehr viel und das Spiel kann über viele, viele Stunden gut unterhalten. Kein Persona, aber eine gute Zwischenkost für Fans des Genres, die auf ein Persona 6 sicherlich noch lange werden warten müssen.… Expand

    Pretty decent game. Despite the lack of uniqueness and depth, the gameplay is fun, solid and some characters were fairly well-developed.

    I've seen people comparing Tokyo Xanadu with Persona but they're not that alike. This game will definitiely not going to touch thorny themes, it's a light experience overall.

    If an editor had taken a serious red pen and streamlined the narrative, Tokyo Xanadu EX+ would be fantastic. As it is, this is a game with stellar JRPG action and a story that will try the patience of all but the most dedicated players.

    Those who couldn't get enough of Tokyo Xanadu's combat will no doubt be pleased with the extra content here, especially a robust post-game that takes place during Halloween. Everyone else, however, is better off passing this one up. eX+'s additions are so flimsy and superfluous as to actively detract from the original game, dragging out an already thin premise to another 25 hours.

    For those planning to pick up one of the versions of Tokyo Xanadu, eX+ would be the recommended one for the extra event scenes and character interactions that come with it. Its improvements — including an assortment of minor quality of life upgrades — mean that it is the better release, but those who prefer to play on handheld shouldn't feel at all shortchanged by the original; the extras are more a bonus than anything and players are getting a substantial and greatly absorbing experience either way. Nihon Falcom's charm permeates throughout and its incredibly easy to get attached to Morimiya City and its residents.
