But now, after a year of waiting anxiously with rumours swirling that its localisation was cancelled, we finally have Persona 5 Strikers abroad, with the return of favourites and the introduction of new heroes and villains. We were pleased with the title back in February of 2020, when we got our hands on an import for the Nintendo Switch, and previewed the game’s first “dungeon” with help of a translator to guide us.


Ultimate and taking note of the title’s UX/UI Menu by implementing mechanics and structure to the fighter’s Nintendo Switch release. 2017’s Persona 5 was lauded for its evolutionary innovation, progressing overall turn-based JRPG combat with mesmerising aesthetics that inspired many established and esteemed developers such as Nintendo and HAL Laboratory’s Masahiro Sakurai, with the veteran praising Persona 5 as his favourite game that year, and by including Joker in Super Smash Bros. The rush from just viewing the trailer alone had me elated beyond belief, and the subtle glimpse of the number “2” pouncing forward cemented the fact that we weren’t just getting a side quest or some ordinary spin-off title, we were in fact being graced with a fully fledged sequel to the Phantom Thieves’ initial foray. From the moment we see Joker standing tall above a high rise tower in Shibuya, staring down a sea of shadows while dominating the horde, while tagging with his Phantom Thieves in tow. It was not until a live stream in October that same year, that we were graced with a lengthy trailer revealing many more details regarding Persona 5 Strikers, that I knew we were in for something special. “It’s a Musuo game, sorry bud” read the message, but I wasn’t phased until I knew exactly what ATLUS and Koei Tecmo developers had in mind. Hell, even I received a DM from a friend trying to soften the blow as I was expecting us devout hardcore fans to finally be able to take Persona 5 on the go.

#Persona 5 strikers switch review series#
The reveal of Strikers was met with scepticism after a variety of Dynasty Warrior spin-off titles – most notably the Hyrule Warriors series – was met with lukewarm reception. During Day 2 of the Persona Super Live P-Sound Street 2019 concert, held at Ryōgoku Sumo Hall with a mass gathering of 15,000+ Persona fans, and over 2 Million Viewers worldwide tuning in via YouTube, Persona 5 vocalist Lyn Inaizuma, had the honour of revealing Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers to the world. Both “P5R” and “P5S” remained mysteries behind registered trademarks and calling card teasers, until April of 2019. The hype behind its reveal event almost two years ago was aided by fans across social media, clamouring for the long desired port of the original Persona 5 release for Nintendo Switch, which to this day still alludes us. The Dynasty Warrior’s cross Persona 5 spin-off proves that the series has a lot more going for it than the standard turn-based JRPG action story.
