Tokyo Xanadu Reviews
In theory, combining two of my favorite games into one sounds like a foolproof way to make one of the best games of all time. Unfortunately, the reality is not quite so grand as the mixture of the two elements has diluted the unique flavors to something that feels lacking but not entirely unpalatable.
Overall, Tokyo Xanadu has a few quirks here and there, but I still had a fun time battling Greeds and bonding with my in-game friends. Despite the obvious flaws in its plot, Tokyo Xanadu more than makes up for it with its fast-paced action and combat system. If you want to dust off your Vita and play a new action RPG, I would recommend picking up the game.
Released in Japan in 2015, now coming to North America is another installment in the Xanadu series, Tokyo Xanadu. Tokyo Xanadu follows the adventures of Kou Tokisaka, as he fights the supernatural labyrinths that are appearing in the city of Morimiya. With interesting characters, a good storyline, and a really solid soundtrack, there was a lot I liked about Tokyo Xanadu, despite some of its flaws.
While not the most original game out there, Tokyo Xanadu nonetheless utilises its inspirations very effectively to provide a thoroughly engaging and entertaining experience.
This is not the Persona you're looking for, but battles are a blast.
Tokyo Xanadu is a surprisingly generic Persona wannabe from a developer that I know can do far, far better.
Tokyo Xanadu proves that Falcom can do no wrong, but at the same time, it proves that your strength is in celebrating what they've built through all these years and not in getting inspiration from other games.
