Persona 5 Strikers Reviews
I'm not exactly sure whom Persona 5 Strikers has been tailored for. Personally, I wasn't impressed.

Phantom Thieves strikes again. When dark forces are unleashed upon Japan, there’s no other way than to sit in your RV and kick enemies butts. All of this blessed with awesome music and fantastic gameplay.

When I first saw the pictures of Persona 5 Strikers almost 2 years ago, at that time still under the name Persona 5 Scramble, I was quite skeptical at first. Can an action game match the quality of the role-playing game? Will it do justice to the characters? Will the story take too much of a back seat? What about the battle system? And what part do the different personas play? My worries should be unfounded. Because Persona 5 Strikers convinces almost all along the line. The story is excitingly told, the fights are challenging, varied and enhanced by important features of the Persona franchise, the graphic style is unique and the soundtrack burns itself into the brain. Only the lack of overview in combat in rare cases and the lack of socializing as well as the development of personal relationships among the characters ensure that Persona 5 Strikers unfortunately "only" makes it to a very good game and not a "Game of the Year" contender like Persona 5 (Royal) did with ease.

Persona 5 Strikers is a game I really enjoyed playing and definitely one of the best Action-RPG collaborations I have seen come out of Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio! The trademark bombastic style of the original is still present and it’s elements shine through! The gameplay is really simple but also fun. I definitely will call this a worthy follow up to the original! I recommend this game 100% especially to those that have played Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal.
There are a couple of shortfalls, and the lack of a confidant system is a big hole to fill, but if you’re a fan of Persona, then Persona 5 Strikers is absolutely the game for you.
Persona 5: Strikers had no business being this good. The real-time combat was a nice change of pace and the story was touching. Strikers didn’t skip a beat when it comes to the stylish visuals or the catchy songs
Persona 5 Strikers is a worthy sequel to Persona 5/Royal while incorporating fantastic action! This is a must play title for Persona and JRPG fans alike. It perfects Omega Force's Musou action with RPG mechanics from Persona to create an new and refreshing experience for fans to spend time with.
Persona 5 Strikers is the best musou game I have ever played. Players who love Persona 5, don't miss this game either!

Persona 5 Strikers is an amazing new adventure for the most beloved heart thieves in games. The task of mixing action and RPG seemed difficult, but the title managed to balance everything in an original and competent way.

Half sequel, half spin-off, the mosou format is an absolute victory for the franchise.

Persona 5 Strikers brings the Phantom Thieves back to the fore after the adventures of Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal by binding to these titles in some respects by replicating the narrative and RPG components but breaking away decisively by introducing the musou component, with the Omega Force team that managed to create a game that was definitely up to the task. Obviously the title is highly recommended to all those who have appreciated and devoured the aforementioned titles with the possibility of varying even in terms of gameplay but with the same narrative depth.

Persona 5 Strikers is a worthy sequel and while it removes some beloved elements still features that same rich experience fans of the original will love.
Persona 5 Strikers is neat package perfect for anyone who is already invested in the story featured in the Persona franchise. Unfortunately, this does mean it ostracises outsiders and newcomers as the title does not feature any way for players to catch up on the lore and story from the previous titles. Anyone brave enough to look past this, however, will be in for a heck of a treat. The game is pretty, and the gameplay is wonderfully new to the franchise – so much so that it compliments the story in ways previously thought impossible. It is stunning in the way that it just works with every other facet, but the most intriguing part of it, bar none, is how unapologetically Persona it remains.
Persona 5 Strikers plays it way too safe on all fronts, sticking with known quantities rather than taking bold leaps. It spends too much time revisiting classic moments from Persona 5, rather than telling its own unique story.
Persona 5 Strikers is a game that will have you playing it for hours on end. A game that expands the Persona 5 mythos and is a welcome addition for those who want more adventures with the Phantom Thieves. If you are a fan of the game, there should be no hesitation on your part to get this game and enjoy it.
Persona 5 Strikers is the perfect successor to the original. Introducing new characters and an expanded approach to Japanese culture, it allows players to dream and travel to the country of the rising sun and all that it can offer. With stimulating mechanical combat, it is extremely rewarding to be able to master the biggest challenges of the game. Its audiovisual component continues to surprise, even those who have already tried the original.

To answer my question from the beginning of the review, Persona 5 Strikers absolutely blew through any expectations I had. The game has great character development, beautiful anime-styled graphics, an earworm soundtrack, and, much to my surprise, excellent action-based combat. It’s come to the point where I would welcome more spin-offs with this combat system. It took me about 60 hours to complete the main story while completing the Requests available to me, so you have a good amount of content to play through. After beating the game, more Requests unlock, so you have plenty to do even after finishing the story. However, I don’t recommend playing this game unless you’ve played Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal, or you watched Persona 5: The Animation. P5S spoils events that occur in P5 and you won’t be as attached to certain characters if you haven’t played the original. But, if you’re a huge fan of Persona 5, I highly recommend you pick Persona 5 Strikers up. It is definitely worth the $59.99 price tag, and I promise you won’t leave disappointed.
A different sequel that bets on the musou and ends up succeeding

Much like Tokyo Mirage, another unexpected combination favouring the Persona side of things in a plesant action romp.
Persona 5 Strikers is easier to swallow compared to the long-winded original. The hack and slash, Dynasty Warriors-like combat felt more fitting for Persona 5 as a whole, and the Phantom Thieves are a cool bunch that it wouldn’t be so bad if Atlus stretches out more adventures in the future. They’ve clearly shown that they are capable of delivering a new and entertaining experience without ruining what made Persona 5 beloved by many since it launched back in 2016.
