Persona 5 Strikers Reviews
Half sequel, half spin-off, the mosou format is an absolute victory for the franchise.

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.

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 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 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
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 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.
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.

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.

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

Persona 5 Strikers is a musou which brings us back to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. A nostalgic title talks about the evolution of the metaverse at the same time feels like goodbye to gamers. It has several lacks which are very palpable when compared to its predecessors, but in contrast, feelings and the evolution of the characters, the frenzy of the fighting and the apology for the homesickness of the soundtrack, making the title shining with its own light. Persona 5 Strikers is a game dedicated to every person who loved Persona 5 or P5 Royal and I recommend in the case you have enjoyed one of these.

Persona 5 Strikers is an exciting sequel that takes the Phantom Thieves on a cross-country tour to clear their names. With Koei Tecmo streamlining most systems and using an action battle system, the sequel succeeds on many levels.
Despite expecting a Persona spinoff with Warriors style combat, Persona 5 Strikers is a Persona 5 sequel in every sense of the word. This is a must play for fans of the original although those here for a Warriors style game may be left disappointed by the focus on the story and out of combat moments.
Persona 5 Strikers is a great game. If you played and liked P5, being able to revisit these characters and follow the plot of Strikers will be a beautiful gift. Going further, it's amazing to be able to play Persona with an action combat system and see how well everything works. Musou fans and people who don't know Persona may need to adapt a little to really understand Strikers and must be open to many moments when the action stops completely, but I believe it is impossible not to appreciate a work that hits on so many points as Persona 5 Strikers. The Switch is probably not the ideal platform for you to live this adventure, but it does its job well.

I had a lot of fun with Persona 5 Strikers. I was a little surprised at how much of it was like a JRPG as the trailers and discussion online seemed only focused on the combat aspect. How easy it was to get into for someone who hadn’t played the previous game was also impressive. The quality was high despite a few issues and I felt like the combat was done particularly well. The progress through the story is what kept me wanting to play through, along with the deep RPG mechanics. I felt like they mixed really well with the hack and slash aspect.
Persona 5 Strikers makes clever use of the 'Warriors' gameplay style while maintaining the spirit of the original title at all times.
Set your fears aside – despite the change of the genre, Persona 5 Strikers is a worthy sequel that shouldn't be skipped by any fan of Persona 5.

To label Strikers as merely a side game is a great disservice - it is by all means a sequel to one of the most successful games in the genre. If you're like me, Persona 5 Strikers will catch you off guard in the best way. You'll never see it coming.
