Unlike the original Persona 5 where the character fighting style was not emphasized, the developers took care to give each of the 9 characters it\u2019s own playstyle. Players playing on normal or hard difficulties will probably spend many hours learning those move sets, while I\u2019m playing on easy and mainly using Joker and his many different persona to hit enemy weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>The main draw for Persona 5 fans are the characters and a new story following the basic premise of the original. Besides that, Strikers does not offer time management or much of a relationship-building mechanics. You travel with your friends from city to city, fight hordes of enemies in the metaverse, and have some anime cutscenes to tie everything together.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m about 30 hours into the game and I should be getting to the final act, placing the game\u2019s length for easy difficulty at around 35-40 hours. It\u2019s not an amazing value for $60, so if you\u2019re not a Persona fan you will probably want to wait for a discount. But actually, you don\u2019t want to play Strikers if you haven\u2019t finished Persona 5 already.<\/p>\n<p><strong>News:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A new TMNT game is in the works!
