[Main Story - 020] "Persona 5 X" Playthrough - Soul of Victory Kitchen
https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=ahmadmanga/ojgzqeua
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!! In the first few hours, I used touch input, but it was hard to control movement in dungeons and battles, so I connected a controller, which made the game play better in my opinion.
While exploring Miyazaki Palace we found that the way forward is blocked by a barrier featuring an announcement of the food fight between Miyazaki and Shun. Of course, we had to interfere with that trap, but Shun was going there knowing it's a trap...
Luckily, Shun's master tells us about "the soul of victory kitchen" which is an item that would help Shun win. Technically, win, that is. The game is too rigged for the win to be official!!
What do you think?
I hope you enjoyd the video above!
