Do yourself a favour and skip this one. It's not a terrible game by any means, and might even have been decent as a stand-alone experience, but as a follow up to Persona 5 of all games, it falls quite flat. I would even say that it somewhat takes away from the Persona 5 experience, given how high a note the original game ended on.
This game basically has Dynasty Warriors gameplay with a coat of Persona paint, the same characters as Persona 5 (not Royal) but with a lot less depth than before, and a tedious and slow storyline with boring and repetitive quests tossed in. You could play it if you just want more Persona 5 no matter what, but I wouldn't recommend it.

robot girl isnt aigis level good but she is good

if you are a fan of persona 5 this is a great follow up to the story in the main game. not a fan of mosou battle style but the story is good. its only so short.

This game doesn't reflect quality of the original Persona 5. Even speech bubbles feels clunky if you love persona 5 in any way, just watch this games story and nothing else. (except menu's, they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome)

Game is actually decently enjoyable I am just taking a break and playing p4 rn lol. It's a neat experiment on how persona would function with fulltime combat (Warriors style). The included OST on the deluxe version like all atlus games it seems like is its own seperate EXE for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason

If you loved the Phantom Thieves so much you just need another adventure with them, Strikers will do the job just fine. it's a sequel story with hack&slash gameplay that manages to translate some of the mechanics of the original P5 to action combat in a fun way. However, there are plenty of problems with this title and it really feels like a lower production qualiity product. Which it is, which is fine for a (sequel) spin-off, but it does get in the way of fun sometimes.

First off, there is no time management aspect at all. You're on a set schedule and there is no way to run out of time. If you're facing any difficulty during the game, you can always get back to the car, heal up and get back into the action. If you were looking for the time-limited life-sim gameplay of Persona games, you can turn back now. There are no Social Links, let alone any dating elements. You can do optional Bond scenes which are a far cry from the Confidants.

The introduction to the combat can be overwhelming. The game constantly throws new info at you and gives you almost all the playable characters very early on. I recommend taking a time for yourself to play around with available Phantom Thieves, pick your favorites and learn to use them before rushing into the story. However, once you figure out the basics, the game actually does a decent job of incorporating Persona mechanics. You can chill on the Easy difficulty if you just care about the story or beat the game on Hard and then move onto Merciless if you want to test yourself.

Strikers messes up Persona fusion pretty badly though. The cast of demons is limited, which is understandable, but the actual act of fusing up new demons feels very restricting. Eventually you're going to need to grind up levels of old demons if you want to unlock a new Persona to use. This made engaging with the mechanic a chore, completely unlike the addicting nature of sitting in the Velvet Room and fusing stuff in the original P5.

The story feels like a rehash of most of the story beats of Persona 5. While sometimes Strikers uses this as an opportunity to show how the Thieves have matured, a lot of the time the story will just feel like the same thing all over again. Most of the old characters have their moments, especially Haru, who was poorly treated in the original. The new additions to the cast are surprisingly good and feel right at home with the OGs.

The game was developed by another studio and used a different engine, which worked well for the action gameplay, but exploration in city areas was sometimes very clunky. Joker could not sprint and navigating familiar areas like Leblanc felt like a cheaper experience. The UI, while definitely stylish, did not feel as smooth to click through. You often had to wait for the animations to play out before being able to move to another window, meanwhile in the original game, you could move through the menus pretty quickly if you remembered your way around the UI.

Lastly, grinding the Bond level is a giant chore. You can either farm the same thing on Merciless, replay the story or use repeatable spots which give small Bond boosts. All of which will bore you eventually. It's decent for mindless playing while listening to a podcast or whatever else you prefer.

in summary, if you want more Phantom Thieves, get the game on a discount and just beat the story.

An amazing action game set after the events of Persona 5 Royal!

If you liked Persona 5, you will almost assuredly enjoy this!

Good Stuff:
Fun and different style of combat.
Awesome music and audio again.
Even better stylish UI and menu systems.
Same good persona capturing, leveling and fusion, though with a more limited listing.
Good story, villains and locations.

Bad Stuff:
There is a freeze that will happen fairly often when a menu is open. The Nvidia control panel settings listed in the forums and guides for this help, but dont get rid of it totally. Save often.
The last achievement is a stupidly long grind. I dont know what they were thinking with that one.
