Persona 5 Tactica

Persona 5 Tactica review

System: Switch
Release date: November 17, 2023
Developer: Atlus / P-Studio
Publisher: SEGA


From dancing and dungeon-crawling to road-trip adventuring, the Phantom Thieves have been awfully busy since the events of 2017’s Persona 5. Of course, with that game being one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the past decade, there’s been plenty of fan demand for spin-offs and sequels, some of which have been truly excellent. That said, even as a fan of Joker and company I was having a hard time getting excited about Persona 5 Tactica – 2021’s Persona 5 Strikers put such a nice bow on the characters’ stories that I didn’t expect a shift to grid-based strategy to shake things up enough. The good news is that it’s a solid tactics game that introduces some fun ideas to the series, even when its story beats don’t quite hit the mark.

Persona 5 Tactica art style

Persona 5 Tactica was recently revealed and it has its own chibi-esque art style that’s prompted some interesting fan discussion. Some of the game’s developers have now weighed in on the design.

In an interview published this week, Famitsu spoke with Persona team producer Kazuhisa Wada, director Naoya Maeda, and business producer Atsushi Nomura. They confirmed what we essentially knew in that Persona 5 Tactica isn’t a Persona Q sequel, but also discussed style differences between them. Oribe said “the 3D models are intentionally taller with the arms and legs being longer” and noted how “it may seem more like an American comic-like deformed style.”
