[Main Story - 028] "Persona 5 X" Playthrough - Miyazawa Palace Infiltration (E)
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a Gacha game set in an alternate reality of Persona 5. It features an original story and a new set of Phantom Thieves. P5X blends Persona 5's presentation and storytelling style with Gacha mechanics so well, it feels more like a console game than a mobile game.
Comnpared to Persona 5/Royal, the gameplay of The Phantom X is at the same time simplified and expanded. There are way more things to do in this game, and the online aspect makes it almost endless, but that also makes it more repetivive than the original. I give full marks for the presentation and the story progression. It feels like The Phantom X is experimenting with even more ideas compared to Persona 5/Royal... Returning characters look even more stylish!!
Being a Mobile/Gacha game is a double-edged sword, though. P5X has too much going at once. I'm playing Persona 5: The Phantom X on Android device. Every corner of the screen has interactable input os some sort! The menu is full of elements that fight for your attention!! Touch input made it hard to control movement in dungeons and battles, so I connected a controller. Now it plays way better!!
GGGGGGGGGG
There's not a lot of story progress this time, just exploring more areas of Miyazawa's Palace and some training/weapon upgrades! We're getting close to the end of the Palace, apparently...
What do you think?
