Persona5: The Phantom X 17+

on one hand, this game is everything I’ve needed from a mobile game. this game is exactly how a mobile game should be, and i’ve played plenty.

although it’s a bit overwhelming, especially with the event going on, it’s straightforward and the tutorials are concise.

I’m playing on an iPhone 12 and I haven’t experienced any issues with gameplay — no lagging, glitching, or crashing.

storywise — it’s pretty much an alternative universe to the original p5. The characters are basically copies of the original characters, especially Wonder and Joker. I don’t mind though because I like that it has its own plot, unique from the other p5 games. I’m also very curious about the gatcha. I’m assuming there will be other Persona series characters… but then what?

on the other hand… can we stop milking persona 5 and move on to persona 6?? I also feel like being a mobile game, it would have been a good opportunity to have the player be either a male or female character… but alas, another male protagonist.

overall, I do love this game and I haven’t been able to put it down since I’ve downloaded it.

another thing to note — time does not exist in this game. you can pretty much do whatever you want, whenever you want, which gives you so much freedom! you can do side quests, main quests, in any order without consequences. remember, this is a FREE mobile game. don’t expect a copy and paste version of a paid console version. for a mobile game, it is absolutely amazing.

I’m a big fan of p5 and the persona series in general and as much as I love this game there are some flaws big flaws. First the big issue the game crashes a lot and sometimes when it crashes you lose all your gems so if you are trying to pull a certain character you might not even get them I have had my game crash almost every 10 minutes. The game is also very buggy I honestly think they should have had the game also on consoles along with phones and steam because it’s a lot better on a machine that can handle all the graphics. This last nitpick is more of a personal preference I think the game should have had English voice acting some times the subtitles get covered by the white line on iPhones so I might miss dialogue. But on to the positives the game has a lot of charm like all persona games and the story is really good so far it is very unfortunate I can’t enjoy the story without being a certain level but whatever. The music is a real banger can’t wait to buy the soundtrack. The gameplay is a bit more watered down compared to p5 or p3 but this is a free to play game with micro transactions…… lots of micro transactions……… however the game is still very fun and enjoyable. The flare and the style of the game make up for a lot of the problems I just hope this game gets the love it deserves.

After 3 years of waiting this game was everything I had hoped. Combat is familiar to the mainline games. A lot of systems are in place almost identical to persona 5 some things I really like is the ability to go into mementos leave and not get penalized through the day system. There is a stamina system, but it’s not that bad. Also the pricing for things in the cash app are actually priced very well and not overbearing lots of activities. Lots of event events to do this game truly is a masterpiece that I’ve been waiting on and the fact that it’s on mobile just sweetens the deal if you’ve never played a persona series game or you’re just looking for something relaxing and engaging or you’re into life simulator style games I highly recommend this.
