"The last decade has seen an absolute avalanche of Persona games, from a full-blown remake of Persona 3 to manga and anime adaptations, and four different spinoffs of Persona 5 alone. But perhaps most surprisingly, almost all of those are good, and it speaks to the sheer versatility of Persona. Outside of the delightfully energetic dancing games, there might not be a better example of that versatility than Persona 5 Tactica."
"While Persona 5 Tactica does star the Phantom Thieves from the main game, for all intents and purposes, it's a wholly separate experience. Essentially, at some point after the whole group has come together, the Phantom Thieves are transported to an alternate world - one ruled by an oppressive regime known as the Legionnaires. After a run-in with the despots, the Thieves are saved by a revolutionary group known as the Rebel Corps and invariably get drawn into their struggle."
The last decade produced numerous Persona titles, including a Persona 3 remake, manga and anime adaptations, and multiple Persona 5 spinoffs. Persona 5 Tactica transforms the series' trademark combat into a tactical strategy format while maintaining energetic, character-driven elements. The Phantom Thieves appear but primarily support a new ensemble after being transported to an alternate world ruled by the Legionnaires. A revolutionary group called the Rebel Corps rescues the Thieves, drawing them into a struggle that examines revolution, oppression, and the nature of rebellion. The narrative emphasizes new characters like Erina and frames the Thieves as experienced subversives who function as backup to the revolutionaries. The story ties into Persona 5's themes of reforming society while offering a well-paced, engaging experience for longtime fans and newcomers.
