![]() ![]() Besides, if Musou games taught us something, is that simply clicking stuff on the controller can have the job done in this genre. Believe me when I say that there were worst cases later on in the game, when I reached certain end-game Bosses and the likes.Įven so, I’ll admit this wasn’t the majority of the battles I had. There are so many things happening at once, that you can’t admire the beautiful graphics and character designs of Persona 5 Strikers. You can barely see what’s happening, especially when you are not familiar yet with the game’s mechanics or used to the controls. This is an unedited screenshot taken, very early into the game. I mean, take the picture above for example. This is of course something that takes place only in battles, as the overworld is very well handled with a lot of love put into each corner of the Metaverse, but still hinders the game a little. ![]() Sometimes, there is simply too much stuff on the screen. Before, you were needed to manage your time as efficiently as possible each day, going to bed right when everything was done. Most notably, the daily and monthly time limit of Persona 5 is gone, completely changing your game sessions. Persona 5 Strikers brought to the table a number of new features, scrapping others that we believed they would exist in this entry as well. Even the slashing sounds of Joker’s knife are oddly satisfying, especially when pulling out a combo on a dozen of enemies at a time. Of course the game’s sound effects of skills, animations and the likes are equally as good, really giving a weight to every action you take. Some feel like you are inside a haunted roller coaster, with others sounding as all hell’s ready to break loose. Icing on the cake are the Boss’ themes that are absolutely fitting for each bad guy respectively. ![]() That is until you jump into battle, where more aggressive beats kick in, readying you for the upcoming fight. The Jails of each chapter have eerie and quirky themes, truly making you feel the vibes of the isolated mini-universies that co-exist with the real world. In regards to sound and music now, expect nothing less from the unbelievably catchy tunes of the first game, with new OST and remixes of old soundtracks feeling equally as good. There isn’t a single spot in the screen that is not occupied with some sort of peculiar design or colorful touch. Bright colors, fancy cutscenes, eccentric looks for any superficial content in the game, everything is back in Persona 5 Strikers. If someone was asked to describe Persona 5 in one word, that word would be stylish. In Persona 5’s steps, Strikers looks, feels and sounds exceptionally good. We’ll talk about these a little bit later. Alongside the new battle mechanics, some features that made the franchise famous are partially gone, with some new ones making their debut. In fact, way better than someone could think of. ![]() That’s an odd blend, indeed, but believe it or not it works well. While this was ‘kind of’ true, this entry could better be characterized as an arena action-RPG, with Musou vibes. When the game was first announced and showcased, it looked like it’s going to be a full blown Musou game, in the likes of Dynasty Warriors and Hyrule Warriors. The biggest change Strikers brought though, is of course the new battle system we mentioned above. Don’t worry though, we do have some new faces here in this adventure, both for story’s sake and playable as well. Hence, characters like Kasumi who played a vital role in Royal’s story, being absent from Persona 5 Strikers. The ‘spin-off’ and the complete edition were in development the same time, therefore the team of Strikers went ahead and followed the original game’s story, as they didn’t have any picture yet of Royal’s new additions. This entry was the definitive edition of its predecessor, so why Strikers scrapped a lot of that game’s content? That is because Strikers is a true sequel to Persona 5, but not Royal’s. The lack of certain characters and events from Persona 5 Royal. However, there is a certain something that players will very soon notice. You visit some of the same areas, talk to the same people, even fighting the same type of Shadows. Persona 5 Strikers is a true continuation to Persona 5’s story, making it odd that a ‘2’ wasn’t implemented into its title. ![]()
