Persona 5 Tactica (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.0.4 Update + All DLCs

Persona 5 Tactica is a 2023 tactical role-playing game developed by P-Studio and published by Sega. The game is a spin-off from the Persona series, itself a part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise, and was released for Nintendo Switch.

GAMEPLAY

Persona 5 Tactica is a tactical role-playing video game in which the player controls a party of up to three characters on a grid-based map populated by enemy units, who are directly confronted through the initiation of turn-based encounters. The ally units a player may take into battle comprise the central members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, as well as the Rebel Corps’ leader Erina. Characters can take cover during battle to reduce the amount of damage they take or block it altogether. At any point while navigating the grid, characters can take actions, or end their turn early to gain a beneficial effect in the next turn.

Characters can do close-quarters physical attacks to push enemies around the grid. Characters’ gun attacks can hit enemies from afar, and some characters can hit multiple enemies in one shot. The Phantom Thieves can summon their Personas during encounters, enabling them to use a variety of Skills at the cost of Skill Points (SP).

Similarly to the battle system in Persona 5, Skills have different elemental affinities, but in Tactica different elements can force enemies to move around the area in different ways. When a character attacks an enemy that is not located in the cover, the enemy is knocked down and the character is granted a “1 More” turn to select a command. When at least one enemy unit has been knocked down, while being surrounded by ally units in a triangular formation on the grid, the player is prompted to initiate a special “Triple Threat” attack that deals significant damage to all enemies within the triangle.

The player is able to collect additional Personas and equip them to any of the characters as Sub-Personas to grant additional skills. These Personas may be obtained as rewards from battle, or fusing multiple Personas together.

PREMISE

During the events of Persona 5 (2016), the Phantom Thieves of Hearts find themselves suddenly displaced in an alternate, Medieval European-inspired world during a routine meetup at Cafe LeBlanc, ahead of the senior-most members of the team graduating from Shujin Academy. They soon come into contact and form an alliance with Erina, the leader of a group of freedom fighters known as the Rebel Corps, vowing to help her stage a coup and free this world from its authoritarian rule under a new enemy known as the Legionnaires while uncovering the truth of its mysterious origins.
