Really nice turn-based strategy using all of the Persona 5 flair. Whilst not my favourite of the Persona 5 spin-offs, I had a lovely time with all the stages and the story with Toshiro and Erina was really surprising yet sweet. I played on the normal difficulty and found most stages relatively easy aside from a couple battles near the end; even so the triple threat all-out attack and other mechanics kept things interesting, making stages more like puzzles to see how efficiently you can exercise your strategies. OST was, as usual, amazing. A lot of the soundtrack has these songs that are meant to be heard on loop to facilitate the time you are taking with your strategies whilst also mixing in some slower songs in between; both fit the game amazingly. The art direction is a big shift from other games in the series: everyone is now much more rounder and stylised. It's a cute style and I love how it looks but it does make certain serious moments in the story lose their impact a little. Nothing major but just thought I should mention. That being said I can't really say there was a whole lot of new ground covered here as opposed to the other spin-offs outside of the new characters and gameplay. The Thieves have their moments and get to exhibit their quirks here and there but they certainly aren't the main focus here which I think is fine - it gives the new characters room to breathe even if it did leave me wanting just a little more. All in all, I had a great time with Tactica. It has a certain cosiness to it thanks to its music and chibified art direction which is boosted with a solid gameplay loop. Check it out!
