    The game is awesome, amazing combat and great story, but I just cant recomend to play this game on the switch version. The game goes at 30fps, constant fps drops, lagging and the loading screens take too long. I fully recomend to play the game on the PS4 or PC version.

    The original Persona 5 is a way better game. This is a fun game if you've already played P5 and are a fan of the series, otherwise you will be lost when it comes to the story. The story itself and dialogue feels lame compared to P5. After 10 hours of play, I've found the majority of the game is scrolling through vast amounts of silly dialogue with little action in between.

It looks good, and the combat feels good, but only reason I'm gonna finish it is because I'm a fan of the series. If you are new to this series I'd say stay away until you play the original P5.… Expand

    Here's what you need to know before going into this game:

    If you haven't played the original Persona 5, this game will be extremely confusing for you. It essentially assumes you played the base P5 and understand the events of that game.

    If you haven't played the original Persona 5, this game will be extremely confusing for you. It essentially assumes you played the base P5 and understand the events of that game. If you haven't played P5 (which is presently only on PlayStation systems), you could possibly watch some gameplay videos and/or read a detailed synopsis of the game's events before playing -- but you'll still likely find it confusing.

    If you're expecting this to be a traditional musou game like the other Warriors spinoffs, discard that expectation right now. It's more a Persona action RPG than a traditional Warriors style game. Fans of the Warriors games, or even just the other spinoffs like Hyrule Warriors, will find some combat similarities but a lot of the combat is heavily modified in order to make the game Persona.

    That said, they have done a FANTASTIC job merging the two worlds of Persona's JRPG and Warrior's hack and slash. But like P5, expect long stretches of dialog, cutscenes, and the inability to save.

    If I were reviewing this on Playstation, I'd easily give this a 9. But on Switch, I'm forced to drop it a few points due to the graphical issues that crop up. It's clear that the Switch struggles to keep up when there are a lot of shadows to fight with a lot of health bars and player particle effects. Frame rates drop significantly in these scenarios. But the thing that I find most bothersome is the absolute lack of any form of anti-aliasing. When docked on a 1080p display, the jaggies are beyond awful. To give one example: Early in the game, Joker, Ann, and Morgana are talking in a hallway. The camera tends to do a light sway back-and-forth, just as it did during similar cutscenes in P5. The jaggies around each doorframe in the hallway are so bad that it almost gave me motion sickness as they oscillated back and forth. The jaggies are less evident in handheld mode (or docked on a 720p display), but they're still there. This issue is most problematic with regard to cutscenes -- but since cutscenes easily make up half of the game (maybe more), this is a constant problem.

    All in all, it's a great game for Persona 5 fans and does a great job bringing us back to the world of the Phantom Thieves. If you don't have a Playstation, this is still quite playable so long as you can deal with frame drops and lackluster graphics on 1080p or beyond displays.    … Expand

Como la mayoria de juegos japoneses la cantidad información y personajes jugables es abrumadora, tanta que cansa y confude, lo mismo con la duración hasta ahora, no por repetir la misma mecánica jefe tras jefe el juego es mejor, entiendo una duración determinada pero alargarlo a base de repetir la misma mecánica 5 veces pues se hace pesado.

    Overall pretty good game but this is not a stand-alone, you'll have a hard time enjoying the story if you missed out on Persona 5.
    Also no auto-save in 2021 where bugs and console crashes are still occuring : very fun

    The developers clearly focused on the Switch's limitations in mind when making this game. The characters and environments look absolutely crusty. There's barely any improvement PS4 and 5.

It's a gift that the Switch has this game to begin with, as it's ONE OF the few Persona entries on a Nintendo console. Appreciate it. The pixelated characters have lost all their previous charme and with such a heavy focus on characters, it ruins the entire experience for me. It looks so bad compared to the now 5 year old predecessor. There's lots of talking, so it really is not great. Gameplay and everything else is amazing though.… Expand

    Persona 5 Strikers is a phenomenal follow-up to the original JRPG and a must play for fans of Persona and Warriors games alike. [Issue #3, p.63]

    Persona 5 Strikers is not a typical spin off; it is a full-fledged sequel filled with real characters, a gripping story, and an addicting gameplay loop. And though it is a different genre than its antecedent, the love and personality poured into this game puts it on par with the best follow ups I’ve ever played. Since Atlus creates a new set of heroes for every mainline Persona entry, this could be the last time we see Joker. I hope not. Persona 5 Strikers made me relive my love for Persona 5 and the Phantom Thieves, and I never want to see them go.
