    Amazing jrpg! The graphics are a little outdated but the story , gameplay and everything else is perfectly polished and implemented! If you loved any of the persona series and enjoyed the characters of fire emblem then don’t even ask yourself if it’s worth trying! It is WORTH BUYING! What an unexpected treasure ! Thanks Atlus once again for a masterpiece !

    This is a wonderful game that deserves way more recognition. While it may be a little too cheesy and it has some annoying anime tropes, TMS is a very special game.

    The setting and story are pretty unique, the characters are trying to make their way into the Japanese show business and along the way they have to fight with the obstacles of the industry and their own personal demons, this is represented with demons and dungeons in a similar style as Persona.
    The gameplay is fantastic, one of the best combat systems of any JRPG ever, its addictive, accesible but deep and very eye-candy. The presentation of the game as a whole is really good, very vibrant and colorful with a ton of style. The music, while not my style, its really well produced and fitting with the game, its high quality J-pop for the most part.
    The whole vibe of the game is quite light-hearted, maybe a bit too much for a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off but its really charming and quite engaging.
    An absolute gem, a game that always makes me happy, great gameplay, great presentation, likeable characters, unique story, its just really good.    … Expand

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is that kind of game that makes your day a little bit brighter in a realm of sadness. Atlus and Intelligent System did a really good job in this crossover. Of course, there are some flaws but the whole game is really outstanding.
    The combat is really dynamic and beautiful, it is a different kind of the turn based standard.

    Characters despite MC have good personalities and their stories are very solid.
    The OST, specially the concert songs, are incredible enthralling, and most of the time you will find yourself cheering for the characters to get their roles and jobs they are so eager to have.
    I have never played the WiiU version, and I am glad that Nintendo brought this masterpiece to Switch, as I have said, it made my days a little brighter.    … Expand

    Shame on all of you that rated this so low. This game may have a fairly uninteresting main character but the support characters are more lively and the combat is awesome. At first this game was kinda boring but once it picks up, I was hooked and played it for hours at a time. Not every game does that for me. If you like persona type games then give this game a try.

    Amazing... the disappointment of not getting a persona 5 on the switch is being cured by this game. Forget about censorship and just play the game, if you're a fan of persona series or SMT you will enjoy this game. Didn't play on wii U back in the days. But this switch version i believe is the best. Faster loading screen and beautiful in handheld.

    I still haven`t finished the game but for now i can say that i really like the combat and character design. The text is very clear and readable really how they should make game dialogue text!! 10/10 . Started it 5 days ago and i wont put it down till i finish it . I also really like the story but as i see many people dont really like it so this is personal thing some like it some dont.

    If you enjoy the gameplay of the Megami Tensei series, this game is right for you. The story is focused in the entertainment industry in Japan from idols to models. It may be unappealing for some, but behind it , there's a great story with well-rounded characters and backstories.

    Incredibly charming game. The battle system is very fun and the colorful aesthetic grows on you. The story is kind of whatever but most of the main cast barring the MC are actually very solid characters with lots of funny interactions.

    Another great JRPG by Atlus. It has amazing gameplay and graphics. My only problem with the game is that they censored some things for the international release.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've honestly enjoyed this game ad much as I ever enjoyed a RPG.
    I can't probably say this is "the best rpg ever", but I can sure say "this RPG is one of the most unique" I ever played.
    The artistic content is itself worth playing the game.
    I've lost myself in re-watching most of the video content and enjoyed as never before watching over and over battle animations (which, don't get me wrong, as every JRPG are substantially always the same).
    The battle system itself is genuinely beautiful, even being based on the not-so-special persona-like system.
    Moreover, skins are great (for all the baby-crying jerk out there, yeah, I enjoyed skins even if censorship took away most of the fan-service from the game) and I never lost myself so much in changing and appreciating theme during a game.
    Overall, this game is artistically impeccable and this itself is enough to give a rate deserved from UNIQUE games.    … Expand

    Very underrated in the west compared to how good it is. Awesome combat system, characters and music also makes it a very enjoyable experience. A must-play JRPG on Switch and Wii U.

    Um Jrpg que poucos tiveram a oportunidade de jogar no Wiiu onde eu terminei, neste port para Switch nao se teve um ganho real na parte visual, nem se quer o uso mais apurado do hd rumble, isso somado as poucas novidades inclusas nao o coloca em prioridade para quem jogou no Wiiu, espero que venha ter uma continuavção com novos personagens de Fire Emblem.

    I never played the original Wii U game, but i am so happy that Nintendo ported it. This is one of the most fun rpg games i had ever play, the combat system is great and the characters very charismatics. I didn't care much about the story, only when they were doing Fire Emblem references, that were so damn cool for me. A very recommendable game

    Un juego que no es para todo el mundo, pero que no merece las malas palabras que está recibiendo por parte de los medios españoles.
    Juegazo con todas las letras.

    The lack of English voice acting is the only thing that, in my opinion, is holding the game back from being truly special, but it’s definitely a really fun time - especially the combat.

    Also, Kiria = best girl.

    one of the best JRPGs on the switch. very under rated. has very little to do with shin megami tensei or fire emblem, but you know what, that's ok.

    Amazing Game on Wii U, and amazing game on switch! This is my favorite Wii U game, and there’s not a lot of new content that the switch version added but what they did is amazing. And the load times are almost non existent in the switch version, there clearly was a massive technical upgrade. Any fan of Persona or shin megami tensei will love this game.

The music is what makes this game so incredible tho, and imo there has yet to be a game that beat this game out in music. This game is also extremely anime! So weebs check it out! :p… Expand

    If you are looking for a persona style game fix then this is an definite purchase. Thought I would hate how cutesy and poppy it all was but it turns out I really enjoyed this one. Fantastic game on the go aswell.

    It's probably kindest to think of Tokyo Mirage Sessions as a necessary stepping stone on the path to better games for everyone. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 74]

    Time hasn’t aged this game one bit; I still found it as adorable as I did back in 2016. It is great that TMS is now available to a wider audience and hopefully will it get the sales it deserves. In my opinion it is not only the best JRPG on the Switch, but stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of all time.

    Compared to Wii U version, Encore offers not only prettier graphics, but new content as well. It’s not limited to a few new clothes or songs either; Encore has an additional storyline, as well as lots of nifty little additions. [Issue#243, p.52]
