P5 Strikers is an excellent continuation of Persona 5 (vanilla) Although Royal was an excellent expansion of that original storyline Strikers only acknowledges the Vanilla storyline instead. So if you’ve played the original all the characters and past events that are mentioned throughout your journey will be familiar. If this is your first Persona game I do highly recommend checking out P5 Royal first. With that said let’s talk a bit of story. Game takes place roughly 6 months after the original ending; the Phantom Thiefs have a reunion to celebrate the protagonist return and decide to go on a road trip together. Needless to say things don’t go as plan and the gang must form back together to regain the masses desires. The game only has one ending but the villains throughout are far more fleshed out. The gameplay feels basic at first but the enemies all have weaknesses and strengths so simply just mashing the square button isn’t gonna cut it. Plus having your SP limited early on ensures that each combat encounters are different especially when you can use the environment as well to make the fights easier and conserve energy. There are no time limit with each new Jails you are free to leave at will at any point to regain your energy. Having everyone available from the start makes the encounters much more enjoyable. You unlock more moves for each character by taking control of each one during combat. You’ll be able to purchase gear throughout the game and the game has no confidant system which is fine. There are also very little places to visit to spend your free time and if there is it’s always story related. It’s been replaced with the request system from either the jails or your friends. So yeah the game has removed a few things and I understand. The game wants you to experience the story in this specific way and it works because everyone has great banter among each other and new places to visit are always with your friends. Overall the game is much shorter compared to the other games. I beat it at just over 60 hours but I had fantastic time and I’m sure you will too!

I love this game it’s soo much fun and the story is great! It’s a continuation of Persona 5, Which I loved so I had to buy this game!

A solid title, plays incredibly and holds all the style and charm of the first game. They found a happy medium between hack and slash gameplay and role playing. My only downside is that the "jails" being the same no matter what. 3 locks/3 keys rinse, repeat.

Great game, beautiful steelbook. Good followup to the original Persona 5. Continues the storyline with all new gameplay.

Awesome cast, Awesome story. Worth purchasing. The steelbook also is colorful and interesting, like the game.

Continues the Persona 5 storyline in a different gameplay but overall just as much fun as the other Persona 5 games

I loved and I mean, absolutely loved Persona 5. Probably my favorite JRPG of all time and haven't even played the royal edition. You might think going into this, it's going to be just like every mousou game from the Dynasty Warriors developers but no sir! This is much more than a copy and paste job put to a DW skin. This is much more akin to a full on sequel. If you're looking to scratch that Persona 5 itch, spend a little scratch on this title.

amazing game. excellent continuation to P5. sadly it doesn't follow P5 royal, but still really fun regardless.

Persona 5 Strikers is a great purchase for those wanting more Phantom Thief action. There are lacking features but the synergy of the gang is even better this time around, as confidants have left but now there’s more time together with the thieves as a whole. The combat takes a bit to get used to but becomes better as you unlock more abilities. The lack of features may seem to be a turn off, but don’t let them stop you from another great Atlus experience!

great story, and much more than a button masher. It beautifully blends rpg action with hack n slash combat

Best version of a "Warriors" type game. I usually don't like them, but this is unique enough that I've enjoyed playing it. If you lived Persona 5, this has the same feel story wise and the gameplay doesn't feel out of place.

Awesome style, interesting new gameplay. And best of all- continuation of the Persona 5 story :0

Fun game, plays more like a kingdom hearts than a dynasty warriors game. Expands upon Persona 5.

I have been pleased by the steel your hearts edition of persona 5 and even the collectors edition of persona 5 royal.... I thought strikers would be another dynasty warriors hack n slash game but it's not.. It's much more there is a nice deep story in this game, which has much more in the persona 5 universe.. I am very happy with this game and can recommend it.. And as a bonus from best buy it came with a steelbook

Great game it's really fun and has a good story and it got here just on time it's a must buy

Great game. Love the story, and the combat is refreshing from the usual turn based gameplay.

This game keeps the same flashy style of Persona 5 and expands on the game's story, brings in new characters, and offers a different gameplay style. It's very fun and a great change of pace from the original battle system. If you aren't a fan of wildly sweeping down a ton of enemies at once this game may not be you're favorite, but it's still one that I'd recommend trying at least once!

There's no way better to describe this game then to say it's a sequal to one of the best games to come out for PS4. If you didn't play Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal, don't get this game. If you have played those games, then you will be in heaven with this. The music never skips a beat and the new characters are fantastic. When I beat this game it made me want a third P5 game to look forward too.

Amazing continuation of the Persona 5 story you love and a must get for warrior fans too!

A great trip back to revisit the Phantom Thieves, this Dynasty Warriors style spin off maintains the aesthetic of its predecessor while putting fun twists on Persona mechanics. A must buy for any Persona 5 fan, but that is the main recommendation. If you haven't played and/or finished Persona 5/Royal, the story and character beats will more than likely not hit the way they should, as it is a true sequel to P5.
