Good news! It's not a themed dynasty warriors clone anymore!
It's much more of a (persona5-lite) ARPG, that takes the best aspects of dynasty warrior's combat!
I normally play warriors games on hard, and this one actually puts up some challenge!

I'm not a huge fan of dynasty warriors games. I've played the mainline entries, and the hyrule ones.
They always seemed pretty repetitive and grindy. Two attack buttons, a few combos, and thousands of mindless foes.
They felt like you just mash buttons for a few mins to win any fights, and take forts, no thinking required.
I enjoyed fire emblem warriors a bit more, as it streamlined the taking of forts. And added more combat features and more tactical options to gameplay.

Now enter persona 5 strikers, while it takes a lot of queues from the warriors games, but makes tons of changes as well.
While other warriors crossovers are just themed warriors games.
Persona 5 strikers is actually structured like a 'mini' persona game.
No more mission select screen, and taking forts.
You have a small map to explore, and you enter the dungeon from your hideout.
And instead of maps flooded with mobs, after the tutorial, you'll explore map segments, much like p5, and you'll ambush patrolling shadows to start combat. (Although there are some forced combat segments with waves of shadows)
While in combat, you'll have the typical warriors combo system, along with various spells (elemental, healing buff/debuff, etc).
You'll need SP to cast spells, and much like p5 there's no SP regen, you can't spam them.
Instead, to exploit element weakness, you may need to land combos as they can cost free elemental damage or imbue your weapon with said element.
This also makes some bosses feel less damage spongy, as you'll need to break their defense with to increase your damage output.
So, instead of chipping a way at a long boring health bar, you can take out chunks at a time, and there's plenty of visual feedback to help you determine that you're playing properly.
Simply spamming attacks on any boss pretty much ensures your demise.
The story's also pretty good too, much better than other persona spin-off.
But yeah, overall much better than I expected!
