Koei Tecmo returns with another spin-off follow up to a pre-existing series in the Warriors format. But rather than simply just being another Warriors-type venture, Persona 5 Strikers feels more like a full-fledged Persona game that happens to have the combat of a Warriors game. There are personas to fuse, access to the Velvet Room, and the classic SMT/Persona spells and weaknesses accounted for. Narratively, P5S is a follow up to Persona 5 and Royal (note: as of writing, have only played base P5, so I cannot comment on how well P5S jives with any changes introduced there), and the plot definitely feels like a true sequel rather than just a mere throwaway story. P5S maintains the flair and style of the original, and the combat is fun and flashy. Overall, a worthy successor to P5.
