Gameplay

In Persona 5: The Phantom X we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Similar to most other titles under the Persona banner, including the original "fifth" game, we operate on two levels.

A regular student by day, a Phantom Thief by night

We lead a normal life in Tokyo during the day, attending classes, establishing relationships with NPCs, and nurturing them, or even going to work part-time.

Under the cover of night, the voice of the titular Persona - the supernatural manifestation of our character's psyche - comes to power. Together with other Phantom Thieves, we explore dungeons called Palaces. Shadows) and we face opponents referred to as Shadows (in English). Shadows, which means inner demons dormant in people). The fights with them take place in a turn-based mode, and involve skillful juggling of the abilities of individual characters.

As we progress, we develop our protagonist, which over time increases his combat potential. It's worth ing that during the game we are not tied to a single Persona - we can change them, gaining access to various styles of play.
