Persona 5 Tactica is a tactical spin-off of Persona 5. It once again stars the Phantom Thieves, visiting an entirely new world, where they help the local rebels fight tyrannical Legionnaires.
Persona 5 Tactica is a tactical spin-off of the Persona series, specifically of its fifth installment. It once again stars Joker and the Phantom Thieves, though features a slightly different artstyle. It was developed by a Japanese studio Atlus.
Persona 5 Tactica is a separate story without much connection to the storyline of Persona 5. This time, the Phantom Thieves find themselves in a beautiful land ruled by tyrants. They quickly encounter hostile Legionnaires and are saved by a revolutionary, Erina, whose group opposes the world's rulers. Joker and his friends join forces with her to free the land from tyranny.
Although Persona 5 Tactica features the same cast and turn-based combat, the gameplay significantly differs from the main Persona series. Rather than a jRPG, it's a tactical strategy with sRPG elements, reminiscent of XCOM and Fire Emblem, though with battles being of a smaller scale. Players control a party of three, moving them across 3D maps, making use of the Thieves' abilities and the environment (including various types of cover used to sneak up on enemies).
The game also retains some mechanics from Persona 5, such as One More (an extra attack after knocking down an enemy) and All-Out Attacks, here called Triple Threats. These powerful team beatdowns can be executed by correctly positioning your party, surrounding the enemies in a triangle formation.
Just like the gameplay, the visuals of Persona 5 Tactica draw from Persona 5, but differ in many aspects. Though the interface, soundtrack and voice acting didn't change much, the game now uses a chibi artstyle, distinguished by tiny characters with huge heads.

A series of jRPG games overseen by Atlus. The series was launched in 1996, by the game Revelations: Persona, which is a spin-off of the brand Shin Megami Tensei (originally known globally as Revelations). The production, which debuted on PlayStation consoles, was so successful that it eventually gave rise to a new, separate series. Although from the beginning the series was associated with PlayStation consoles, over the years it has also made its presence felt on other platforms.

GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Rollin Bishop
Persona 5 Tactica makes the most of combining Persona and tactics (as the name implies) together, forming a charming amalgamation out of the two for a surprisingly dense mechanical experience and powerful story that nevertheless loses something by omitting anything resembling side activities.
TheGamer: 3 / 5 by Stacey Henley
Persona 5 Tactica is undone by the fact it's unsure if it's putting the Persona twist on the tactical grid game, or using Persona characters to introduce newcomers to the genre. Maps and missions are repetitive, the more interesting elements that each Persona brings are sanded off, and there's an overreliance on basic gun and melee attacks that don't suit the Phantom Thieves at all. But when it clicks, there is an unmistakable charm about the Phantom Thieves themselves, and drawn-out though they may be, the epic scale of the bosses is a good shake-up for the genre. It's not the perfect goodbye of Strikers, but it is a sign that the sun should set on the Phantom Thieves in peace.

Persona 5 Tactica takes a while to really get going, but once it does, you'll have no choice but to stick around for the ride. DualShockers was provided with a copy of the game for review purposes.
