The general sentiment towards the game is that, while it has appealing visuals and captures the essence of Persona 5 with its music and style, it suffers due to awkward storytelling in its early stages and frustrating download demands. Fans of the franchise who enjoy gacha games might find it enjoyable for its generous rewards and ongoing content, though others might be put off by the frustrating gacha mechanics. Overall, it appeals to die-hard Persona fans more than those unfamiliar with the series.

Positive Points

The game captures the Persona 5 style with its visuals and music, which many players find appealing.

The story becomes much more interesting and engaging after the first two palaces, particularly noted from the third palace onward.

It offers a good Persona experience on mobile, staying true to the franchise’s combat and narrative elements.

The game is generous in its free-to-play model compared to other gacha games, allowing players to earn decent rewards without spending money.

Negative Points

The beginning of the game, especially the first two palaces, is considered weak and poorly written by many players.

There are frequent and large downloads required, which frustrate many users.

The game heavily utilizes gacha mechanics, which some players find predatory and integral to making meaningful progress.

Performance issues and bugs are commonly reported, including crashes and poor optimization, even on strong hardware.

Mixed Points

The gacha system is seen as both generous and frustrating—while some appreciate the rewards, others find the lack of early 5-star pulls disheartening.

Some players enjoy the character designs and expansions on the original Persona 5 story, while others feel these elements do not match the main game’s quality.

The combat system retains classic Persona elements but is also criticized for being overly simplified or adjusted for the gacha format.

Common Themes

The game serves as an interesting continuation or side story within the Persona 5 universe, appealing to fans looking for more content related to the original game.

There is a distinct divide on gacha and pay-to-win aspects, with players viewing it as a major downside or just another part of the mobile game experience.

Loading times and downloading updates are a major frustration for many players, with repeated comments on how it hinders enjoyment.
