A few years ago, Bloomtown: A Different Story would have been a top-tier JRPG experience second to none. But with today's offerings, I can only say that it succeeds in delivering a better-than-average experience. It has some incredibly charming moments with each character and an appealing art style, but also classic tropes that wear down the narrative to the most patient of gamers.

Bloomtown: A Different Story is a brilliant spin on Persona with a different perspective and narrative that’ll keep you coming back for more. Some people come for the story, some will love it for the battle, but a select few will absolutely adore it for everything it is. You’re in for a hell of a ride with this adventure and the chaotic goodness from the demonic side of things.
