The best of both worlds in Persona 5 Strikers

Fans of the Dynasty Warriors series and the Persona series unite! Persona 5 Strikers is an action role-playing game that features gameplay elements from both Koei Tecmo’s hack and slash games and Atlus’ role-playing games. In Persona 5 Strikers, we follow Joker and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts in their investigation of mysterious events all over Japan. This story takes place shortly after the events of Persona 5, the sixth installment in the Persona series. Fans of this franchise will be happy to know that Persona 5 Strikers features the classic turn-based battling of the Persona games, as well as the fan-favorite stealth and puzzle mechanics. On the other hand, Dynasty Warriors fans will encounter more than enough hack and slash combat for their needs. Launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting enemies or knock them down for an All-Out Attack that will finish the job. As the Joker, you’re able to wield multiple Personas to stop the corruption in the streets. Unlock more Personas by defeating mini-bosses and form a party of up to four members. You can even fuse Personas to create completely new ones. Persona 5 Strikers is the most stylish and explosive action RPG for the new year!
