![]() ![]() I understand it’s place, but honestly, my backlog has no time for it. Grinding, personally, is a cheap way to force hours out of a game that could otherwise be replaced with more content. You will still want, and sometimes need, to spend time taking out enemies just for the Yen and EXP to improve a persona or buy an upgrade for your team, and its one aspect of Persona 5 Strikers that I just didn’t want. When you include the interactive environments and party and persona management from previous games, you really do have to think about how you are going to take out these enemies to maximum effect, while also managing your resources for later.ĭoes all this suggest that “grinding” is less of a thing here? Unfortunately not. But even the combat itself has its own take on Persona strategy. So, the big question most players would ask is which game does it play more like? Well, the truth is this is first and foremost a Persona game with altered combat. A few places prevent you from changing your party, but there’s plenty of warning and Oracle reminds you to change it up often. But, that’s OK, because there is the added bonus of not having to return to the palace entrance to rearrange your squad. For example, the cooking mechanic helps to replace the need to buy various items needed to replenish HP and SP in-game, allowing you to save Yen for more important things like the online shop (which also provides an outlet for one of the new characters, Sophia)Ĭheckpoints have replaced rooms. There are some really good additions to the wider scope of the game though, that make up for a lot of the content that hasn’t carried over. However, there are a few inside jokes that have carried over from the mainline title, Inari! The social interaction mechanics and exploration of the areas are very much a Persona game, with conversations earning you points towards bonding with the characters, who get plenty of opportunity to cement themselves in the hearts of even players enjoying the franchise for the first time. Setting the combat to one side, so much of the game reverts to the original Persona 5 formula. Even the persona being assigned to Joker will alter the “Showtime” function to their signature elemental move. Depending on the character you are using at the time this produces a wide variety of animations. Along with the staple all-out attack and baton passing, you are able to perform a multitude of special moves. There are a few new tricks up the Phantom Thieves’ sleeves. Using the shoulder buttons allows time to freeze while you either aim and fire the gun or use a persona. Attacking shadows takes an action based approach, with buttons controlling your light and heavy attack functions. You encounter shadows in the same way as before, with the ability to stealth attack or power through, with any breaches of security sitting the group on their backsides at the mercy of swarms of shadows. Those looking for a button mashing “hack ‘n’ slash” adventure will have plenty to enjoy, but there is so much more to the game than this. The biggest change is in the combat, with this aspect taking the biggest influence from the Dynasty Warriors games. Persona 5 Strikers demonstrates a lot of similarities and differences to its parent game. ![]() Someone said there was a sale at Hot Topic But, on the plus side, road trip? Life Will Change But the events have been taking place all over Japan this time, and the police are happy to throw you under the bus unless you find the real culprits. Recruited by the public prosecutor’s office you are tasked with solving these recent changes of heart. These are usually split into multiple keeps to explore in order to stretch out each prison.Īs you work through the game you quickly get caught over a barrel in the real world. This forms the “treasure” that you set out to find in each jail. Jails, like palaces before them, have a single monarch (a misguided soul who needs a change of heart) collecting the desires of their prey. It seems a new mobile app, “EMMA” is causing the metaverse to open up again, but these palaces look different. The thieves gather at Cafe Le Blanc and start making plans for the most awesome summer vacation ever! After deciding their itinerary, they go to get hold of supplies, it’s here where the fun starts. Six months after the events of Persona 5 and Ren is back on the streets of Shibuya. ![]()
