Persona 5: Strikers is great. While it's not the nearly-100-hour behemoth of a game that P5 is, its 35+ hours of Action-RPG gameplay are more than enough to qualify it as a full-length and fleshed-out JRPG experience.

While the combat system takes some getting-used-to, when understood, it becomes a fluid and rewarding experience to rival gameply from greats like Ys VIII and Trials of Mana. Many beloved systems from P5's turn-based combat are adapted flawlessly to the Action-RPG style, and overall, Strikers truly makes for a rich and immersive experience.

Apart from the mechanics, the story elements and character interactions combine to make Strikers a true P5 sequel in every sense of the word. New lovable characters are introduced while existing ones are fleshed out and expanded. The music is great and the level designs are stylish. Fans of the original will not be dissapointed.

Overall, Persona 5: Strikers has the strength to stand as a great game on its own merits and is not simply a "Dynasty Warriors with Persona characters". Fans of the franchise as well as general Action-RPG gamers will find plenty to enjoy. Hopefully, the P5 franchise will continue on in many mediums.
