There is quite a lot of voice acting in this game, and I’m impressed with Atlus’ efforts to record high-quality English dubs in a manner that keeps the staff and actors safe. There will of course be Japanese voices too, for those who prefer playing the game with the original audio. I got confirmation from Community Manager Ari Advincula that the English voice acting was recorded remotely like with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim earlier this year, and from what I’ve seen so far the quality lives up to Persona 5.
#PERSONA 5 VS PERSONA 5 STRIKERS PC#
I think it's safe to say that the announcement of a PC port, as well as everything surrounding the pandemic, was largely responsible for this. The question on many peoples’ minds is why Persona 5 Strikers took so long to receive a localization. You frequently find yourself platforming, running from rooftop to rooftop, and using parts of your environment to sneak attack enemies like a true phantom thief. There’s more of an emphasis on dungeon exploring, and none of the stages are plagued with a barren flatness like most games in this genre. If you stagger an enemy, you get to see your active party come together for an All-Out-Attack. Omega Force has worked extra hard to add numerous little touches to the experience to make fans of Persona 5 feel right at home. The compendium might not be the size of previous games, but thankfully I know that from experience that Strikers is balanced well around this.
Joker’s Wild Card is back, letting you gather Persona cards from some downed enemies and fusing them together in the velvet room. With the click of a button, your active character will pull up their persona menu, which freezes time to let you cast spells or use special actions. The gameplay I saw showed Joker and team zipping between cover and ambushing foes to start combat.Īnother big way the game feels more like a Persona title than a typical musou crossover game is the Persona system. Guards will roam the streets, so the Phantom Thieves have to sneak around and catch them off guard. The metaverse dungeons aren’t constantly flooded with enemies to mow down constantly, instead playing out just like we remember from Persona 5. It exists as more of a Persona game with musou combat than a musou game with a Persona skin. Persona 5 Strikers is not one of those instances. When one hears of a Dynasty Warriors-inspired spin-off of a popular franchise, our minds are quick to jump to Omega Force falling back to their usual formula that seems to work out for them time and time again. You start by seeing a small part of the real world city to gather clues, buy a couple of things, or talk to your friends, and then jump right into dungeons. In the 30 minutes of gameplay I got to see, I saw the game starting out in Tokyo as Joker explored both Yongen-Jaya and Shibuya’s shopping district in the real world before his team dropped into the metaverse. In my time playing the Japanese release I was a big fan of this formula.
This time the adventure doesn’t take place only in Tokyo, but across Japan in six different cities. Persona 5 Strikers takes place the summer after the Phantom Thieves’ original adventure. In addition to this, I got to ask a few questions and see 30 minutes of exclusive footage of the new English build. I was thankful to get a chance to sit in on an online event where I got to see the trailer a few hours before the entire internet then accidentally saw it.
