Critic Reviews for Persona 5: The Phantom X

Persona5: The Phantom X is a stylish, thoughtfully written reimagining of Persona 5 that struggles to feel sincere under the weight of its gacha systems.

If you're looking for something new, you're certainly not going to find it in The Phantom X. But if you're cool with gacha games and are down to see a different set of Phantom Thieves, this game'll carry you through at least a few months of fun. Budget-friendliness depends on you, of course.

Persona5: The Phantom X is an ambitious spin-off, and a lot of it clicks with me. Narrative issues do plague the early hours of this game, and there are some kinks to iron out with UI and using a controller; nonetheless, it does an admirable job at creating a faithful, mobile-centric take on Persona 5's core combat, palaces, demon fusions and more.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is a surprisingly enjoyable alternate universe side story to the original P5.

Visually appealing, well paced, full of content, and well balanced in terms of challenge level, it’s a good long-term RPG for those who are ready to invest the time (and a bit of money) in it. Still, a relative lack of effort and freedom in terms of character development places it behind notable competitors in this field like Honkai: Star Rail.

The combat flows quickly, the story grabs you and doesn’t let go, and the social systems remain engaging and fun. While the gacha systems will be enough to turn people off, so far, I’m having a blast with Persona5: The Phantom X and will keep coming back for more.

Persona5: The Phantom X succeeds in maintaining the essence of the franchise in spite of all its flaws. The addition of elements like Tycoon demonstrates deliberate enhancements that go beyond revenue, and its characters, concepts, and fighting are all captivating. The game is getting better, and its upgrades show that the developers are paying attention to what the players have to say.

It’s undeniable that a lot of love and effort were poured into Persona5: The Phantom X. The developers over at Black Wings Studio definitely did their homework, providing an experience that gets shockingly close to the Persona series. It isn’t a game without its faults. though. While the Palaces may feel a tad linear at first, and the grinding may veer off some players, the story more than makes up for it.
