Since Persona 5 Strikers is a spinoff developed by the team behind Dynasty Warriors, it will play quite differently compared to mainline Persona games. That said, it's more of a crossover, as it takes elements from both franchises. Strikers has hack-and-slash combat, but you can pause time to use skills and come up with the best strategy to tackle each encounter. You can also expect a fair amount of exploration and a deep narrative that focuses on the bonds between characters--much like the social simulation aspects that play a huge role in the mainline games. And considering Strikers takes place after Persona 5, it can be viewed as a sequel of sorts.

Strikers will have plenty of playable characters, including favorites from the Phantom Thieves as well as new characters that will influence the story. Strikers will retain Persona's distinct art style and takes place in Tokyo and other locations across Japan. The soundtrack features new songs as well as remixed versions of beloved Persona tracks.
