Tokyo Xanadu Reviews
Tokyo Xandu is an attempt from Nihom Falcom to tackle the Persona series. It is a solid RPG on its own although it is hard to draw comparison to the genre it targets here, but it has more than enough unique features to make it stand out on its own.
As with most Falcom games, the game feel is straightforward and kinetic, paired with a vanilla aesthetic that's more inoffensive than groundbreaking. I can't fault a game for not being ambitious enough when it's following a tried and true formula and does it without any perceivable blemishes at all.
After the first few hourse, we thought of Tokyo Xanadu as an uninspired Persona 5 clone. After more than seventy hours in, we think otherwise: this is one of the finest action RPG Vita has seen in the last few years.

Tokyo Xanadu is a massive game with a lot to offer. I could keep talking a lot more about it, but I think you get a good idea of what you can expect from this PlayStation Vita release. If you're looking for a solid action RPG release for Sony's portable, then I recommend you get Tokyo Xanadu. The game's look is great, and its gameplay is flawless, not to mention it has a ton of content available for you, as well as a shiny Platinum at the end of the road!
I love Tokyo Xanadu for what is: a solid action RPG with a dramatic premise and an awesome cast of characters. The game impressed me with the responsive battle controls and beautiful special attacks. Even though the story didn't amount to the standards Falcom has set in the past, Tokyo Xanadu truly shows what the PlayStation Vita is capable in terms of graphics and playability and I would happily play through the game again.
Trading spell books for cell phones, Nihon Falcom proves once again that they are masters of the action JRPG subgenre.
Tokyo Xanadu is basically Falcom trying to create a Persona like game with their own signature flavour and a pretty damn good experience overall.
Complaints aside, Tokyo Xanadu is nothing short of engaging action RPG goodness that'll have you coming back for more.
