The most recent installment in the "Persona 5" series, "Persona 5 Tactica," has been developed by Atlus and is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series Ru. This game serves as a spin-off to the original Persona 5 and follows "Persona 5 Scramble the Phantom Strikers," which was released on PS4, Switch, and PC. It belongs to the simulation RPG genre, marking a departure from Atlus' usual offerings, particularly the "Devil Survivor" series.
In terms of its art style, "Persona 5 Tactica" adopts a cartoonish aesthetic reminiscent of the spin-off titles "Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth" and "Persona Q2 New Cinema Labyrinth," creating a distinctive atmosphere compared to previous entries in the series. I had the opportunity to play the early stages of P5T, allowing me to explore the story and gameplay mechanics, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable.
The game's battles stand out as a highlight, offering a unique opportunity to engage in thoughtful strategic thinking. It provides a refreshing experience in the Persona universe, feeling somewhat like solving a complex puzzle.
The story of "Persona 5 Tactica" begins after the events of Persona 5 have concluded, as the graduation ceremony approaches for the main characters and the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They have returned to their normal teenage lives and often gather at Cafe Leblanc.
Chronologically, the game takes place just before the third year of high school, bridging the gap between the main story of "Persona 5" and "Persona 5 Scramble the Phantom Strikers," which explores their lives after graduation.
The story takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious tremor shakes the world, causing time to seemingly come to a halt. The doorway of Leblanc emits a strange light, leading the Phantom Thieves to a surreal landscape resembling medieval Europe from storybooks. As they enter, their personas awaken, confirming that they've entered a different world. However, the situation quickly turns dire as they encounter a formidable army armed with muskets.
In their darkest moment, Queen Marie, the leader of an armed group, intervenes, brainwashing the Phantom Thieves with her power. The Joker (main character) and Mona (Morgana) are left behind and trapped. However, a girl named Elle, the leader of the revolutionary army opposing Marie's rule, comes to their rescue. Joker, Morgana, and Elle join forces to save their brainwashed friends and find a way to escape this unfamiliar world.
The game's narrative draws inspiration from elements of the French Revolution, with a tyrannical queen ruling over a medieval European-style world and a young woman leading a revolution against her. Notably, the hideout of the Revolutionary Army bears a striking resemblance to Leblanc.
Throughout the game, players will explore the intricacies of this unique world, uncover its mysteries, and confront challenges that require strategic thinking and puzzle-solving skills.
The game's event scenes are a visual delight, featuring redesigned graphics in a charming cartoon style. Character expressions and gestures are richly depicted, adding depth to the story. The game seamlessly integrates 3D models for battles and event scenes with 2D portraits for conversations, creating a cohesive and visually appealing experience.
For fans of the series, there are numerous "screenshot-worthy" moments that capture the essence of each character, making them a must-see. Additionally, newcomers can use the in-game dictionary to understand the unique terminology and lore of the Persona series, ensuring a smooth entry into the game's world.
Overall, "Persona 5 Tactica" promises a unique and engaging gaming experience, combining strategic battles, captivating storytelling, and a distinctive art style. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, there's something to enjoy in this latest installment.
