Persona 5: The Phantom X, a new spin-off from Atlus, Sega, and Perfect World, is now available on PC and mobile devices. This free-to-play game mirrors the original Persona 5 so closely that it feels like both an introduction to the series and a re-entry into its world.
Players take control of Nagisa Kamishiro, a high school student whose world is plagued by people losing their desires for life. To help others reclaim their lives, Nagisa and his friends must enter the Metaverse, a foe-filled alternate reality, and fight back.
The game features the same turn-based battle system, music, visual style, and social links as Persona 5, making it an enjoyable experience on PC and mobile devices. However, due to its free-to-play nature with gacha elements, players are encouraged to play daily to avoid spending in-game purchases.
As a newcomer to the series, The Phantom X is an excellent starting point, offering a faithful recreation of the original game’s best elements. Its release on mobile platforms also makes it accessible for fans who want to relive the highlights of Persona 5 on-the-go.
