1,000 battles that see you slash your way through hordes of enemies. It would be fair to say that some Warriors games are a bit… basic, to say the least, often having you participate in 1 vs. Even with its shorter runtime, Strikers manages to cramp in great character moments, pacing, and fun that made the previous game a great experience. Is this a bad thing? Not necessarily, but it is a shame they aren’t in this game, given just how crucial and rewarding they were.ĭespite this gripe, the plot still has the same feeling and spirit as its source material. As a result, you’ll see more group activities rather than the unique personal stories for each member of the Phantom Thieves. It’s a shame then that one of Persona 5’s greatest story pieces, the confidant’s system, isn’t present in this entry. With each adding something new to the mix, it helps round out the cast a little and ultimately makes it an enjoyable experience.
With the inclusion of the curious AI Sophia and detective Zenkichi, these and a few other characters blend into the established cast effortlessly. It helps that both the Japanese and English voice acting superb too.Īs well as the return of the loveable rogues from the original, Strikers introduces a few new faces into the mix. Banter flies between characters with great dialogue that is only made better by some very touching and well-written moments between each other. Not to mention the great ways that these characters interact with one another. It’s an unlikely group of friends, but they all play off each other in such organic and natural ways it’s hard not to grow attached to each of them. Each of the main characters has a combination of troupes and unique quirks that makes them all stand out in their own way. This great writing shines with the main cast.
Even in that shorter time, it never fails to be engaging, hitting its story beats consistently with enough room for some lighthearted fun in-between the thievery. The main plot is a much shorter length than Persona 5/Royal, clocking in at around 40-50 hours which, let’s be honest, is still pretty long.
